Ruthie

One fine day we were shocked to find a stunning Rex rabbit hiding under our car, in the middle of our rural neighborhood. Clearly, she was an escaped pet. So we caught her, (she had obviously been handled before) and tried to find her owners. Sadly, no owners were forthcoming which makes us suspect that she was actually dumped.

Ruthie has a glorious coat. Many people who have “pet rabbits before” have gasped as they touch her plush coat for the first time. It’s amazing! And the color is so rich and perfect. I would have told you a brown rabbit was boring, but her coat is incredible!

But that wouldn’t be the only surprise Ruthie had for us. A few weeks later, Ruthie delivered a shocking surprise: babies! Sadly, we had no idea these were coming and we lost several due to the cold. Happily, one survived and is the sweetest, silliest little guy. He’s totally used to being picked up and carried around by toddlers, and being snuggled by grown-ups.

What a happy first rabbit adventure for Sweet Huckleberry Farm!
