More about the Rabbit

Pixie, my new rabbit, has been keeping me quite amused. I did some research last night and learned that she is a dwarf rabbit, so luckily she is going to stay small and keep this vivacious, curious personality that she has. Of course, I have no actual clue as to her gender, but I wanted a female rabbit, so I'm calling her a girl. She never leaves any droppings outside of her cage or marks territory, so I could be right.

For those who were wondering why a white rabbit's name is Pixie Midnight (sounds a bit like a showgirl name, actually!), allow me to explain. Her name is Pixie because she's little and sprightly like a pixie, and Midnight because I bought her at midnight. Also, I thought naming a white rabbit Midnight would be humorous.

So far, Pixie has shown no interest in chewing the furniture, but she would love a chance to nibble at electrical cords! She has a nice little cage in my laundry/refrigerator room, and I keep the sliding glass door open during the day to make sure it doesn't get too hot in there. When I'm home, I give her about an hour or two each day of unsupervised play time in a barricaded area where she can't get into trouble. There were a few escapes at first, but now I've learned how to outsmart a little rabbit. Her favorite things seem to be sliding on the floor (she gets a running start and slides - it's hilarious), having her ears scratched, and nibbling at asparagus ends (the hard part that you cut off). Today I learned that she loves bananas as well.
