Now that I'm a total slave to abittylittle 2-year-old neutered male Mini Rex (Dill), a former house bunny,rescued fromstark wire cage (absolutely nothing in it but anattached metal food tray) in an unheated shed, I'd liketoknow more general info abouttheirpersonalities,any health issues, genetictraits, etc..
I think he's about to go into a molt, is that Rex fur going to be worse than my dwarf's?
He's an escape artist.He broke outtwiceand had two major fights with my foster dwarf, Sherry, when it was herrun time.Andhe obviously didn't get alongwith with the Lop he lived with, they had separate cages,butthe Lophas been bonded to another rabbitsince.
He's the engergizer bunny so far, he never stops. He's themost outgoing and friendly rabbit I've ever met--aslong as you don't do something he doesn'twantyou to do, then he's quite the nipper, but he goes for'teaching' areas like the arm and stomach, he doesn't bite faces orhands. And he doesn't hold a grudge. He's back atyour feet or lap withinseconds.
He'll eat anything but rabbit food, including walls, doors, plastic,plaster and carpets. And what a digger!He stands up and paws/digs at your legs, and when you're nuzzling himat his level, he loves it, but he doesn't kiss back, his 'term ofendearment' is to start digging at the hair on the top of your head(fast butgentle). He's also the only bunny I havethatlikes digging in the catbox.
Not sure if he's making up for lost time, or if it's a lifer thing. (He's a keeper).
Love to hear some other experiences.
