My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Guinness is a careful, calm lady who is equally comfortable entertaining herself and engaging with humans. She may come off as skittish at first, but that’s only when she’s first getting situated. Food is her love language. Guinness is super patient with kids. More so, in fact, than most adults. She’s capable of cohabiting with a cat; they just ignore each other.

Her recent foster shares, “Guinness is very calm, sweet, and patient with our small toddler, including coming up to him for food, eating out of his hands, and accepting petting and hugs. She’s been around a few toddlers at a time and doesn’t seem phased by them, even when adults have to intervene to prevent rough handling.”

Guinness is happiest in the presence of food. She will eagerly follow whoever she thinks is bringing her meals. Hand-feeding veggies and treats makes for an excellent bonding activity. We suspect that she can easily be taught to perform tricks using treats as incentives.

Guinness is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated against RHDV2 (vaccine needs to be administered annually). House Rabbit Society recommends all rabbits see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian once a year.
