Posted on 04 March 2012 by WPL

Mr. Twilight is pretty much the best bunny ever. He is:

–House-trained and VERY good with the litterbox
–Friendly and easy to handle
–Quiet and not much of a chewer
–Already neutered
–Very healthy and already had a vet checkup this year
–Very soft and his coat does not need brushing
–Young, less than a year old so you’ll have him for a long time!

He is a really special rabbit. He’s available through Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue (http://www.luvnbunns.org/) and he’s at a foster home in University City. He would love to meet you! Please email Natalie at nhdavid86 [at] gmail.com if you want to take this beautiful guy home.
