Skooter Bunny moved in my home. He came as a packaged deal with Catherine. Skooter has some very unusual markings. He is sort of like getting two bunnies for the price of one (I will not go into the price of flying a bunny home on an airplane and buying a hutch for him to live in).
This is a shot of his back half. If you look close you can see the separation of colors, stripped on one side, sort of blotchy on the other. Skooter is a dwarf lop-eared rabbit.
Now I know nothing about rabbits. I suppose I had a bunch of preconceived notions about bunnies. I thought he would be skittish, shy, reserved, you know, basically scared of everything. This is not true of Skooter anyway. He jumps up on my couch and on the tables and stands on his hind legs to see what is what. Oh, and I suppose you could say is the house broken. When not in his hutch, he goes to the bathroom in the back utility room that Meg uses. Meg is "paper trained" (mostly), and so there are puppy pads in the utility room. Skooter hops back there and does his business on the puppy pads.....interesting. He is curious and nosy and has absolutely no fear of my dog Meg at all! They actually sort of play together as much as a bunny can play I suppose.
You can see his color good from this video. Black ear on the right side and black nose on the left...........very unusual, and you can also see that Meg is SOOO not concerned with Skooter nor he with her.
According to information online, you can tell a bunny is relaxed when he lays on his side with his hing legs out behind him. Skooter lays this way quite a bit.....it looks like Santa left a little bunny under our tree.
In all fairness to my little dog Meg, I have a video of her I wanted to add but it seems to have problems loading........oh well.
