Profile:

Bunny should have been named sloth, his brain capacity is lagging most times, and if you’re lucky, you can even catch him moving in slow mo. 

His delayed reaction to sounds can make most people laugh. He’s easy to handle as long as you move slowly as well to match his speed. Loud noises or kids grabbing will scare him and he starts tweaking out - unfortunately we tried this with a 7 year old. If you have kids, you will have to remind them to be quiet and move slow around him.

Depending on perspective, he is toilet trained. The toilet being his wheel. Unfortunately he only pees there, and only reserves his sand bath for cleaning his fur. The good thing is, this means he does not roll in peepee sand and smells quite decent.

He is happy to share most fruits, veggies, little bits of human food with you, but will not touch bugs. He does enjoy burrowing but he sleeps like the dead. He has scared us into thinking he escaped a few times, but is actually just sleeping in a corner. Does not wake up even when we are tossing bedding and digging around.

Currently staying in a 120cm acrylic tank, but 100cm with lots of interaction time is ok. Wakes up around 8pm onwards
