About Me: Hi! My name is Tunie, Que tiktok sound bite- I’m looking for a man (human) in finance (any job) 6’5 (any height), blue eyes (any eye color), trust fund (I mean who wouldn’t want one) ... Just Kidding, I’d love a human that is respectful of my boundaries, likes to stock fresh greens, someone who likes to watch me do cool jumps... oh, and helps me maintain my clean-living area.

I’m observant and shy, at least until I’ve gotten to know you. I currently have my own room and I love all the space. I’d love to find a forever home where I can eventually free roam, I am curious and would like to explore once I’m comfortable. I like to play (in my own way). My favorite game is when my foster lady sits with me, I like to nudge her as if I want her to pet me but as soon as she reaches to pet me, I run away, ha-ha. I also like to sneak up while she’s reading or doing sudoku and nibble on her book… sometimes I even sit on her book... For some reason she thinks this means I want to be pet- but nope I’m just playing. Oh, some of my favorite things, I have a little cardboard house that I love to nap in during the day and two tunnels that I run laps in throughout the night. Occasionally some of the resident animals visit me, I don’t mind because they’re quiet and stay on the other side of the gate. Sometimes I like to show them my jumping tricks, but most of the time they’re boring and leave when I ignore them. I am fine being a solo bunny but could maybe bond with another bunny. However, I was picked on /attacked before so I am defensive with other male bunnies, but I might like a lady friend. I enjoy eating hay, nibbling on pellets, and enjoying fresh greens. My favorite special treat has been bits of apple and freeze-dried banana slices. I’d love to find my forever family!

From the Foster: Tunie is one of the cleanest rabbit fosters I have had, he is 100% #1 potty trained and 99% #2 potty trained. He can be super skittish with loud noises or unexpected movements but isn’t afraid of my dogs or cat when they visit him from the other side of his gate. I’d love for Tunie to find someone that is patient and able to work on building trust with him, he’s the sweetest boy when he feels comfortable. I haven’t been able to pet him or hold him as I’m still building trust, but the vet and vet techs held him and said he was very calm and sweet. Tunie is initially skittish around humans but after taking cover his confidence builds and he will come to inspect guests. Tunie currently has a 12 x 8 bedroom where he spends his days napping and eating and his nights doing zoomies. Tunie will need a dedicated space for him to stretch his legs and move throughout the day and night- a hutch or cage is not suitable. He is a super clean boy, always grooming himself and takes pride in his good looks, but he does shed quite a bit- I’m able to tell where his favorite lounging spots are based on the hair collection. Tunie is a simple guy who takes pleasure in the quiet- he’d make a great first rabbit for someone as he’s extremely self-sufficient.
