My story

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

Hi there, I'm BALOO!

Let me introduce myself: I’m a one-of-a-kind, affectionate, energetic, and sweet bunny. Whenever someone walks through the door, I’m the first to greet them—sometimes at full speed! (If you don’t have carpet, I might slide right into you. It’s part of my charm.)

I love to keep busy. After zooming around or playing hard, you’ll usually find me snoozing in one of my handpicked hiding spots. (The ones you set up for me? Not so much, but thanks anyway!) I’m smart too—I’ve even learned to do circles for treats. Sometimes I get so excited, I’ll start spinning like a maniac before you’ve even pulled out the treat bag. And guess what? I love stacking cups! They’re my favorite toy to show off my fun and playful side.

I adore human attention and head pets, but just a heads-up: I prefer to keep things above the neck, and being picked up isn’t my thing. Don’t worry though, I’ll happily sit still as long as you’ll pet me.

I’m a free-spirited guy and don’t do well in confined spaces, so I thrive with free roam or my own dedicated room. My litter box habits are top-notch—seriously, no messes here! Unless, of course, I catch a whiff of another bunny nearby. (What can I say? I like to make my presence known.)

Toys? I like to keep it interesting. I’ll go wild for a wobble treat dispenser, but hammocks or boxes? Not my vibe. I’d rather explore the house, climb furniture, or sneak into spots you didn’t even know existed!

I’ve got a big appetite for veggies, hay, and pellets. Morning and night, I’ll be waiting for my salad mix of romaine, red and green lettuce, cilantro, arugula, and radicchio. Parsley and basil are a bonus, and a little banana? Don’t mind if I do.

I’ve got a unique history too. I was found under a dumpster, scrappy and determined to survive. I even had an abscess on my cheek from an old battle wound, but I’m all healed up now and ready to settle down.

As for my future family? I haven’t been around cats, dogs, or older children, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about them. I might do well with a calm and laid-back bond mate since I’m a dominant bun, but I’d also thrive as a solo bunny as long as I get plenty of attention and affection from my humans.

Are you ready for a little chaos, a lot of love, and endless head pets? Let’s make it official—I’m Baloo, and I’m ready to be your new best friend.

*RRMN does not recommend our rabbits as companion animals for anyone under the age of 10*

If you're interested, please fill out an adoption application at: http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.

Gender: Male

Approximate birthdate: 9/17/2023

Approximate weight: 5 pounds

Adoption fee: $95.00 (+tax)

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.
