A little bit about Buddy
Buddy is a minilop rabbit with a Lilac coat and one white paw.
He loves to run around, do binkys, laze in bed, head scratches but most of all, he LOVES bananas!
Although, Bud loves to be active, he's actually quite a sweet and sensitive young bun who likes his own independence. He's happy to play on his own with his favourite ball full of treats and often makes his own race tracks to run around in. Whilst you work or relax in bed, Buddy will come to sit by you for hours, revelling in your company.

Things to consider
Adopting a minilop rabbit
Cute and fluffy, rabbits make for great pets. But these sociable pocket pets need just as much attention and care as
large companion animals. Desexed house rabbits usually live to be between eight and 12 years old, and the oldest rabbit in the world lived to be
18!
Companionship
Rabbits are very social and enjoy having a buddy around, so having a pair of females works well. However, always
separate rabbits of the opposite sex if they arenât desexed. Otherwise, youâll soon have a lot of unwanted baby bunnies
on your hands!

Alternatively, you can housetrain your bunny and let her exercise safety in your home, but be careful that she doesnât
chew on electrical cords. Rabbits like to keep their teeth in order and will chew on lots of things we donât want them
to in the house.
Food
Most commercial rabbit foods donât contain enough fibre for your rabbit. Instead, they need a constant supply of good
quality fresh grass or grass hay. This helps wear down their teeth. Oaten, meadow, timothy, paddock, pasture, ryegrass
and wheaten hays are all good options. Avoid clover and lucerne hays, which contain too much calcium and protein.
Your rabbit also needs around two packed cups of leafy greens per day. Include a mixture of three, such as Asian greens,
beetroot tops, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, celery, dark leafy lettuces, endive and spinach.
Mixes and pellets should be considered occasional treats, as these donât provide a balanced diet. Carrots are also a
treat, as these contain high levels of sugar.
Your rabbit also always needs access to clean, fresh water. A bottle-type drinker works well, as the water wonât get
dirty.
