Pierre our "Fuzz"

So by now most of you have met the third member of our little family, Pierre. Others haven't had the chance to meet the Fuzz, so we thought we had better introduce him.

The first question everyone ask us is, "so... uhh... why a rabbit?". That's a fair question, especially because house rabbits aren't that common (and not everyone has experienced bunny love). We live in a apartment and wanted a clean, quiet, and low maintenance pet. Our Pierre meets all the criteria. Most people are surprised to hear that he is litter box trained. When we are home we let him out of his small cage to roam the house.

Pierre is a Mini-Rex breed, also known as the velveteen rabbits. His fur is very dense and soooo soft. It really puts all of your dogs and cats fur to shame.

Rabbits are social creatures, but it happens mostly on their own time. He gives you a good nudge when he is seeking some attention/rubbing/ treats. Turns out he has a sweet tooth for cereal, and can be quite a persuasive beggar bunny. When he gets real wound up he will do little wahoo jumps and heal clicks around the house. Some of his acrobatics even seem to surprise him. When he's relaxed he often feels the need to groom us; a large task for a tiny rabbit. He is one little licking machine!
