Meet Mindy
We got a bunny! As a belated X-Mas gift for Marlyn I thought it would be a perfect idea for her. It’s been about 5 days now since Mindy arrived at the apartment and it took her a couple days to get used to the new digs. She was pretty shy at first but she started to warm up to us after we fed her some parsley; she didn’t let us pet her unless she was eating it at first. Her breed is a mini-Rex and its starting to have lop ears.
Sometimes I had to ‘entice’ her out of her cage because she was too afraid and by entice I mean open my bedroom door. At first I wasn’t too thrilled with her romping around the bedroom but if it got her out of the cage then I took the sacrifice. Mindy was so thrilled about the bedroom (so exotic!) that not a couple minutes after I opened the door she would find her way in there. Once outside of her cage she felt more comfortable.
I’d say every day she has gotten quite comfortable around here. I’ve been letting her roam the apartment while I play poker all day and I’ve been quite surprised with how potty trained she is. I’d say like 98% of the time she goes to the bathroom in the cage and she has yet to actually pee anywhere else either. The only bad thing is that she likes to chew on carpeting.
The picture above has her at full glory. Notice the Amaretto bottle to the right, you can use that for a size comparison. Right now, Mindy is 10 weeks old and cant weigh much more than a pound. I’ve got a couple more pictures too:

Well, I’m sure I’ll have more to say about Mindy in the future so I made her her own category.
