My story

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

Must adopt with bond mate, Pearle

Hi there! I'm Baxter, a handsome, energetic bunny with a heart full of love for my bond mate, Pearle. We were found together this past August after being dumped in a neighborhood. We were just babies at the time - only about 3 months old! Since then, Pearle and I have been inseparable, and we’re looking for a forever home where we can stay together.

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m very protective of Pearle. She’s my best friend, and I’ll do anything to make sure she’s safe and happy. I follow her everywhere, and I even get a little grumpy if another bunny gets too close to our space. I love sitting on top of our little castle to keep an eye on things around the room. When Pearle and I are racing around, I’m super fast and love to chase her, but don’t worry, we’ve never had any fights, just lots of playful fun.

Pearle and I absolutely adore our tunnel. You’ll usually find us running through it together, or just relaxing inside like it’s our little hideaway. We also have our favorite spots in our x-pen, where we love to snuggle up or stretch out after a busy day of exploring. If you move anything around, we’ll happily redecorate it for you!

When I’m not running and playing, I enjoy being petted. I’m a calm, gentle guy who enjoys a good grooming session, especially when I’m molting. I’m totally fine with nail trims too. I get along well with respectful kids and will sit with them as long as they’re patient and calm. As for other animals, I haven’t met any cats or dogs yet, but I’m open to new experiences if they’re respectful of my space.

I’m a pretty tidy bunny, and Pearle and I are excellent at using our litter box. Sometimes we get a little territorial, especially if another bunny is nearby, but otherwise, we’re pretty clean. We both love our veggies - greens, carrots, cilantro (though Pearle likes to hog the cilantro, so I make do with the rest!). Our favorite treats are the Oxbow Simple Rewards - apple and banana flavor, yum! We tried fresh strawberries once, but it took us a while to get on board with that one.

I’m full of energy and I’ve been working on learning some tricks! I’m super excited to find a home where I can share my love and playful spirit with my forever family.

If you’re looking for two sweet, happy, and bonded bunnies to welcome into your home, Pearle and I are ready to make you smile!

*RRMN does not recommend our rabbits as companion animals for anyone under the age of 10*

Approximate weight: 3.2 pounds

Adoption fee for Pair: $150.00 (+tax)

RRMN bunnies are all vetted, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. All bunnies are fostered in private homes where they are socialized and ready to become indoor companion house pets. RRMN is a non-profit rescue group operated 100% by volunteers, and 100% of donations/adoption fees go to the direct care of our animals. Due to their very special behavioral needs, we do not advocate for our rescue rabbits to serve as Emotional Support Animals (ESAs).  We are unable to provide any documentation or certification for an ESA.     

If you have any questions or are interested in meeting or adopting this bunny, the first step is to complete an adoption application found on our website:  http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.  For the safety of our rescue bunnies, our protocol requires a home-visit before placement.  Therefore, we are unable to facilitate adoptions that exceed an hour and a half of travel time from the Twin Cities area.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based Rescue and do not have a shelter location. You must have an approved application on file before an official meet-and-greet can occur. However, we regularly hold public events where anyone is welcome to stop by and meet some bunnies! All events can be found under the "Events" tab on our website.

More about this rescue

Rabbit Rescue of MN is a 501(c)3 non-profit rabbit rescue. Our mission is somewhat different than that of many other rescues as we take in sick, abused, neglected, abandoned and unwanted domestic rabbits, as well as rabbits from the public that are no longer wanted. We fundraise in order to get proper vetting and then focus on rehabilitation to ready our rabbits for their forever homes.


We are 100% volunteer-based and have no paid staff. All of our rescue rabbits are cared for in private foster homes where they are properly housed and receive love and socialization. We do not advocate housing our rescue rabbits in pet stores of any kind. Prior to adoption we screen our applicants thoroughly including a background check and a visit to our applicant's home to ensure that our rescue rabbits will be properly housed in a well-ventilated, well-lit and space appropriate area. Our mission includes educating first time rabbit families on the proper housing, exercise, diet and medical care.


Our rescue rabbits are all wellness checked, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. We pride ourselves on informing the public that domestic rabbits are “exotic” pets/family members and require very specific care, medical attention and housing, as well as a space in the home where they can be part of the family.
