So a while back I posted that I was looking into adopting a rabbit K&K had at her rescue, Peter Cottontail. Well, shortly before Christmas, Lesley dropped him off- and I couldn’t be happier! Not only was Lesley extremely helpful (thanks again), but Peter (who is now known as Nixon) is pretty much the sweetest rabbit ever! All we need now is a neuter to save our limbs (and even the dog!). XD
But for now how about some pictures? Here’s Nixon..
And who doesn’t love a curious bunny nose?

Congrats! I also have to say, maybe some bunny proofing is in order.
Those cords looks mighty juicy and tasty to a rabbit.

I have done bunny proofing, that’s just the Playstation console which is normally put away. We watch closely when it’s out, but he hasn’t gone for them once yet! The rest of our cords have those cord protectors on them. But he’s not a big chewer anyways. I always appreciate suggestions though, so thanks

Oh trust me, I know about destructive rabbits! Haha. We have all the cords covered in our house. My boyfriend would KILL me if the rabbit chewed through the cords of his brand new computer, so the computer is completely blocked off. The Playstation is hardly ever out, but we plan on getting more cord protectors for that too. It was just kind of funny because my boyfriend was in the process of putting it away and the dog decided she wanted to lie RIGHT THERE and then along came Nixon to see what was going on, so I thought I’d take a picture
And yes Beka, they get a long really well! My dog is still really young, so she gets a little excited at times, but she would never hurt him. But when he runs across the room binkying, she can’t help but join in the fun! Nixon doesn’t seem to mind her one bit.

K&K, I’ve had to clip his nails since he’s been with us- and it’s not easy! But I figured out if I get him in the kitchen (he HATES the linoleum) on a towel (that way he doesn’t have far to run!) and boyfriend pets him continually, I can sneak in there and clip-clip. It took two days, but we got them done! That way I didn’t have to pick him up, since he hates that so much. He’s getting more comfortable on my lap though, before he would jump off in a panic as soon as his feet touched me, but now he’ll sit for a second and hop off much more calmly. Still won’t stay for long though
And the name? I don’t really know where it came from. I think there’s a brand called Nixon (I think my boyfriend was looking at a watch made by them at one point?). Maybe it’s a subconscious thing. I do have a cat named Puma at my mom’s (which is a shoe brand for those who don’t know) but I just picked that name because I thought it was cute, and a puma is a wild cat- so I thought it was fitting.

Congrats on your new family member. I don’t knowif I could go through baby bun stage agian. I am so used to my more mature buns. Ruby wasn’t an over active hyper baby girl fortunately.
Nixon is real cute. Sprinkling of gray on his head wow. Very beautiful and unusual to find too. Glad he is making himself at home. You will be trained in no time. hehe.
