Mary Shelley is a sweet, friendly rabbit who is full of curiosity! She loves to explore and will let
you know when she's happy by doing epic binkies. (If you aren't familiar with the term, a "binky is when a rabbit jumps and twists high in the air when they're very content and excited.)
When she isn't doing acrobatics and sprinting around the house, she'll flop down on her side with her feet out and ask for pets. Mary Shelley is big on seeking and giving affection, but is also not shy about letting you know her limits. Her litter habits are excellent.
Mary was in a foster home recently, and here's what they had to share about their time with her: "Mary Shelley is extremely friendly and seems very confident. She wants lots of affection and would probably really benefit from having a bunny partner. She has a ton of energy and has morning and night zoomies. I think she gets frustrated when she doesn't have a big space to run around. She enjoys having a zoom around the room and then collapsing. She enjoys chewing on/tossing paper towel rolls. She likes to sploot out like a dog with her back legs straight behind her after she's had a binky session. She stands on her very tiptoes trying to get your attention if you come near. She spends a lot of time periscoping up at you. She is very engaged with people and will instantly lay down for pets. She seemed very tolerant of our infant crying (no scared behaviors) but we didn't let them interact. Mary is very sweet but she consistently nips at your legs and lunges if you come into her area to clean or pet her. It is unclear if she's territorial or she just wants to play and doesn't know quite how to express herself. She will also full speed run into you / jump at you which is cute but also startling. She tries to dig her way out of her x-pen. She is extremely social and would thrive with someone who has a lot of time to spend with her!
Another foster similarly reports, “Mary Shelley is the sweetest, friendliest, sassy bun who loves
to binky, zoomie, flop, and cuddle, giving kisses freely. She would do well in a home with
children.We introduced her to a baby and several children, and she was sweet and friendly with them, sniffing the baby even while the baby was screaming. From day one, she was running up to us for pets and flopping right next to us. She will hang out on the couch and watch TV and video games, although she’s happiest with a blanket tunnel to run through. She loves pets, and will often return head rubs with kisses (even giving kisses to new people!)j. She is very food motivated and will come flying for treats. Her favorite game is launching herself right onto you and/or your laptop with only a thump of warning!
While she can be a little cautious about exploring a new room and doesn’t like hard surfaces, once we’ve put down runners and blankets, she will zoom around to her heart’s content. She can be quite inquisitive, especially if you've put up a barrier to block her.”
Overall, Mary Shelley is a super loving rabbit who will make an excellent addition to a growing
family.Talk with us today about meeting Mary Shelley!
Mary Shelley is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be
administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy
