I
rescued Skittles one fateful June afternoon nearly three years ago. I
had been debating getting a new pet, and it seemed like a rabbit was the
way to go! When I walked into the Rescue League, it was love at first
sight. According to the people working at the animal shelter, she'd only
been dropped off a short while before we'd arrived there. Her old owners
were moving and had to leave her at the shelter because they unfortunately
could not take her with them. Previously, she had been named Dalmation,
because of her unusual coloring, but we renamed her Skittles.
Skittles is a very active, very happy rabbit. She loves to be around
people, and is a ham for the camera, as you can see. In the morning before
I leave for school, she'll run around her cage, hopping up on her plastic
igloo and trying to get us to pet her. Of course, we do, since she's too
cute to resist. She's always been good, never biting or attacking anyone.
When you put her out in the yard, she never tries to run away or eat
anything that she shouldn't be. And as you can see, she is good in all
seasons!
Skittles is actually very intelligent, and understands when you talk to
her. If you tell her "Up!" she'll stand on her hind legs. If you tell her
"Play!" she'll run all around her cage. Skittles likes to eat - a lot - as
you can tell from the pictures. Her favorite foods are carrots, lettuce,
and rabbit treats. She can't eat cabbage, because it makes her sick.
Skittles is one of the best pets I've ever owned, and she'll always be my
Pet of the Day.
