Firestorm
is a black Tan, in this picture, she's showing off her body
type. Yes, Firestorm is a show rabbit but also a pet. I'm the most
attached to her out of her entire litter because when she was just two
days old, I came home after a newspaper route to find her cold on the
wire, almost frozen. I think she latched onto a nipple as her mom hopped
out of the nestbox and then couldn't get back into the box. I thought
she was a goner but I saved her by using a heating pad and had to
force-nurse her. As a result of the incident, her ears curled (due to
the exposure) so she has weak cartilage in her ears, which explains her
ears' unusual shape. But I don't care about that, she's very loveable
and loves to run.
At shows, Tans are a running breed which means the judge stands back and
watches the Tan run and judges it on its markings and type based on the
way the Tan carries itself. While Firestorm loves to run, she absolutely
refuses to run in front of the judge until after he makes his decision
then she will start escaping from her show coop to run back and forth,
like saying "Look at me! Look at me!" She's very adorable. She's very
special to me since she's one of two daughters I got out of her sire
before he died mysteriously. You can see some of his characteristics in
Firestorm's quirks.
When I go to feed the rabbits, I have to be very careful with Firestorm
because when I open her cage door, she will try to step out onto my
shoulder for some cuddling. The Tan rabbit is a very wonderful breed. If
you are considering an active rabbit as a pet, please consider a Tan.
While they are not much for cuddles (with the exception of Firestorm!),
they definitely make it up by keeping you entertained for hours with
their antics.
To see more about Firestorm, her littermates, and the rabbits that
Firestorm lives with, I have a website.
