Here's
Finnegan! He's a three-year-old mini-lop who came to live with me
nearly a year ago. I found him at the Humane Society, where I had gone
to look at another bunny, but once I saw him, we knew we were meant for
each other!
He came with a different name, but being part Irish, I wanted an Irish
name for him. After about a week, we settled on Finnegan. It seemed like
a good idea to have a new name to start his new life. Finn was used to
always living in a cage, and I made him a new spacious one in the room
behind the kitchen. After the first week or so, though, I started
leaving his door open so he could go in and out whenever he wanted. He
doesn't wander far, though - I think because his world is so much bigger
already! I also trained him to use a litter box - I was very proud
of him for that! Finn likes to play in cardboard boxes, slide things
around the cage, and roll his dish around so all the food falls out.
When he plays in the living room, he likes to run back and forth across
the back of the sofa. (It's pushed against a wall so he won't fall.)
Finnegan had some bunny predecessors, the last of which lived to be twelve
years old, and I had pretty much decided not to get another rabbit after
that. I took a gamble with Finn, because you never know if they're going
to be anti-social, destructive, sickly, or whatever. Finnegan is none of
these - in fact, he is the most cuddly, appreciative (if you can say
that about a bunny!) and undemanding little friend I ever had. Oh - and
he's also a good sport about having a silly hat stuck on his head!
