Brigitte

Home

Brigitte seems quite pleased with herself now that Easter is over and she feels she performed all of her wonderful duties as the Easter Bunny.
When I first adopted Brigitte after she was abandoned and very sick, I kept her in a cage behind my chair in my dayroom. Once she got well she was to go in a cage in the backyard. Then came our unusually cold winter and Brigitte stayed in her cage in the warm house. As I work at my computer or work on photos, Brigitte has the run of the room for exercise and occasionally she jumps in my lap to be petted. Abraham and Little Minou, the two cats, tolerate her. I figured she was a year old in February because of the date when the neighbors got her for their son's birthday. She has now grown a fine dewlap (the layer of skin under her chin that looks like a collar at times)so she does not look like a baby rabbit anymore.
We are now into spring and guess what? I don't think Brigitte will ever be a yard rabbit. I'll just have to find a way to fortify all of my computer cables (she's already chewed through four of them) and come to the realization that this sweet rabbit has become one of the family who lives in the house.
Don't ever give someone a bunny as a gift unless they want it and will care for it. Rabbits are a lot of work!

She is a beauty, love her spotted coat, does she use the cat's litter box?

She's posing for you. She's really trying to decide what to eat next.

When I was a kid the boy next door got this cute bunny. It was a Cheshire Hair. It grew into a small kangaroo. It took 2 people to pick him up to put him in his cage. That was when he wanted to go in the cage. Thankfully a zoo in Wis. was have happy to give him a home in the petting zoo.

They indeed adapt and become part of the household. When I was a kid we had one that thought he was one of the dogs. Nice photo Coleen.

She is lovely. But, yes, they are a lot of work. You have cared for her nicely. She is healthy and happy to prove it. Love the light there. I'd sit there too if I were her.
