My story

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

Bocce is one of the sweetest, happiest rabbits you'll ever meet! He loves people, snuggling, and playing. He takes no time at all to warm up to people and will quickly let you know how comfortable he is by doing some happy binkies, which is when a rabbit jumps, leaps, and twists in the air when they're especially joyful.

Bocce is currently in a foster home, and here's what they have to say about him: "This guy is all heart and one of the gentlest rabbits I've ever had the pleasure to meet! He'll give you curious pokes with his nose and comes up to people very easily. He's a trusting fellow. He'll engage when he feels like it and when he doesn't, he'll find a spot to take a breather and come out again when he's ready. He gets along great with our senior dog. He loves to say hello and will greet you every morning. His curiosity keeps him busy and there's always something he's interested in doing. He loves his daily greens and fresh fruit (in moderation!) and also likes to run around and do binkies. The cuteness factor is off the charts! Bocce is very good with his litter habits, and when he wants his litter box cleaned, he'll move it from its spot as if to tell you, it's time for some housekeeping! He's treat motivated and also doesn't mind being held, kissed, snuggled, or groomed. Despite coming from a hoarding situation, other than the injury to his ear, you would never know he had a difficult past. I hope people don't judge him by his looks. Bocce is a loveable rabbit and is a gentle, trusting soul who will give back more in love than what his mini size suggests he's capable of.

Bocce is neutered, 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.
