My story

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

Don't let the name Red Shirt Freshman fool you. This fun and fabulous girl is an active and
energetic player! Rarely will this rabbit sit on the sidelines. She is all about team play. Bring her
home and watch her zoom across the room with the power of a 400 yard scoot! She is sure to
score a touchdown in your heart.

It doesn’t take much for Red Shirt Freshman to warm up. Provide some comfy carpet and a chill
demeanor, and she’ll quickly become your friend. The girl loves pets and will definitely let you
know when she wants attention. Her luscious mane provides endless styling possibilities. She’s
super curious around other rabbits, so she might do well with a friend.

Red Shirt Shorman is a bit sensitive to sudden noises, so be aware when introducing sounds.
Doorbells startle her. She once stared at someone playing piano for half an hour before being
okay enough to move on. Regular exposure will help acclimate to everyday life sounds.

Rabbit proofing is an absolute must. Red Shirt Freshman’s preferred method of exploration is
with her mouth, so protect anything that you won’t want her to get to. She enjoys throwing
stacked cups and chewing through cardboard, providing plenty of options to divert her curiosity.
As one foster puts it, “She’s a sassy drama queen at first, but once she trusts you, she becomes
a big, clingy softie!” Meet Red Shirt Freshman today to draft your newest family team member.

Red Shirt Freshman is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to
be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy
veterinarian once a year.
