My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Must adopt with bond mates, Christa & Jenny

Hello, I'm Phyllis, one of the three charming bunny friends who are still searching for our forever home. Our journey began when we were rescued from a meat farm as young bunnies. They were planning to eat us since they considered us "annoying and naughty". Fortunately, we found our way to a foster home where we've been a delight.

I might be a bit on the shy side, but I'm also incredibly sweet and curious. When you approach me, I can't help but run to greet you, even though I might quickly retreat to watch from a distance. It takes me some time to warm up, but once I do, you'll see my true sweetness shine.

I do enjoy getting pets, but on my own terms. One thing that makes me really happy is getting my greens in the morning. I'm not too fussy about my routine as long as I have my daily dose of veggies.

Now, let's talk about my curious side. I can be a bit naughty and chew on things I shouldn't, but I'm pretty well-behaved when there are plenty of cardboard boxes and toys for me to chew on. It keeps me occupied and out of trouble.

Litterbox training is a work in progress for me. I'm great about peeing in the box, but sometimes I don't quite make it for the other business. It's a minor inconvenience, but it only takes a few minutes a day to sweep up. I also have some issues with my back feet. My hair grows in full there and can get matted if not attended to. The doctor isn't concerned about it at this time, but recommends monitoring and shaving as needed.

I love my daily playtime around the room, where I take my time to explore and savor all the intriguing scents outside my pen. As for food, I have some clear favorites: cilantro, romaine, carrots, and, of course, cardboard boxes for chewing. I'm not a huge fan of strawberries or bananas. My diet also consists of Oxbow pellets, which keep me healthy and happy.

When it comes to human interaction, I enjoy pets once I trust you, but I'm not quite a snuggler. That could change in the future, but I might always be more of a petting than snuggling bunny. I can be a bit shy, but I'm always sweet.

I prefer a calm environment and get nervous around loud or young kids. I'd be more comfortable in a serene setting. If there's a calm animal in the house that can ignore me, I'd be just fine with that. To be perfectly honest, though I like human companions, it is more important to me to have a bond mate or rabbit friend. I am so lucky to have two bond mates, Christa and Jenny, and am happy that we must be adopted together.

I love to cuddle with other rabbits and get cozy in my bed. I'm a well-behaved and sweet girl, and I'm eagerly waiting for the right forever home where me along with my cherished bunny pals, Christa and Jenny, can continue to explore and enjoy our days. We would love to meet you soon!

RRMN bunnies are all vetted, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. All bunnies are fostered in private homes where they are socialized and ready to become indoor companion house pets. RRMN is a non-profit rescue group operated 100% by volunteers, and 100% of donations/adoption fees go to the direct care of our animals. Due to their very special behavioral needs, we do not advocate for our rescue rabbits to serve as Emotional Support Animals (ESAs).  We are unable to provide any documentation or certification for an ESA.     

If you have any questions or are interested in meeting or adopting this bunny, the first step is to complete an adoption application found on our website:  http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.  For the safety of our rescue bunnies, our protocol requires a home-visit before placement.  Therefore, we are unable to facilitate adoptions that exceed an hour and a half of travel time from the Twin Cities area.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based Rescue and do not have a shelter location. You must have an approved application on file before an official meet-and-greet can occur. However, we regularly hold public events where anyone is welcome to stop by and meet some bunnies! All events can be found under the "Events" tab on our website.

More about this rescue

Rabbit Rescue of MN is a 501(c)3 non-profit rabbit rescue. Our mission is somewhat different than that of many other rescues as we take in sick, abused, neglected, abandoned and unwanted domestic rabbits, as well as rabbits from the public that are no longer wanted. We fundraise in order to get proper vetting and then focus on rehabilitation to ready our rabbits for their forever homes.


We are 100% volunteer-based and have no paid staff. All of our rescue rabbits are cared for in private foster homes where they are properly housed and receive love and socialization. We do not advocate housing our rescue rabbits in pet stores of any kind. Prior to adoption we screen our applicants thoroughly including a background check and a visit to our applicant's home to ensure that our rescue rabbits will be properly housed in a well-ventilated, well-lit and space appropriate area. Our mission includes educating first time rabbit families on the proper housing, exercise, diet and medical care.


Our rescue rabbits are all wellness checked, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. We pride ourselves on informing the public that domestic rabbits are “exotic” pets/family members and require very specific care, medical attention and housing, as well as a space in the home where they can be part of the family.
