I adopted Coco (previously Columbia) about a month and a half ago now and just wanted to give you an update on her. From day one, she has been incredibly sweet and fits right in with my boyfriend and I. Though she was quite shy when I first met her at GRR, her personality has blossomed and only continues to develop. With each passing day, Coco finds new ways to entertain us and win our hearts over.
Upon discovering fresh fruits and veggies the binkies were endless! Coco enjoys her Oxbow haystacks and seemingly endless supply of cardboard goodies. For right now, her best friend is the teddy bear that she has groomed to death. She loves zooming around the house and going into her multiple “vacation homes” (boxes set up around our place). Coco will jump up onto the couch while we are on it and “dig” at the blankets until we lift them up for her to “burrito” in…she is definitely a cuddle bun when she wants to be!
I have to say thank you for being so incredibly helpful during the adoption process and for giving me such great information. I love spreading the knowledge about bunnies and their quirky personalities, intelligence and undeniable cuteness as they are such an underestimated pet. The very first day we got her we let her roam…she was in our laps, exploring and flopping to her heart’s content! She isn’t a fan of hardwood floors so she is the queen of the carpeted living room. At first, she pooped all over the place (which we forgave her for as she was marking her territory) but within just a few days of her free-roaming, it stayed in her cage from then on.
As first time bun owners we are so happy with Coco and so glad to have gotten her from GRR. I am a strict advocate for Gainesville Rabbit Rescue and preach about how you know each and every one of your individual rescues personalities, likes and dislikes. It definitely helped the adoption process be simple, enjoyable and heart-warmingly personable.
Attached are some pictures of her adapting to her new furever home! Thank you so much again for our furry bundle of joy!
Hoppy new year! 🙂
