Meet Benjamina

I had a twitter request before I left to post about the bunny I'm hanging with this week. Since this is an autopost (no internet at my cousin's house - she uses a verizon card or something), all these pics were taken in my backyard, before we left.

This is Benjamina Bunny. She's named after the beloved Beatrix Potter character, obviously, but feminized. My cousin has had her for a few years. She can be feisty, but she's mostly very sweet.

I would rank free bunnies (cage-free and litterbox trained) somewhere on the higher end of the maintenance scale. I swear she eats better than I do, and requires bunny-proofing and daily constitutionals. As someone with very low-maintenance cats, it seems like a lot of work. She makes up for it by being extremely cute.

Benjamina is blind in her left eye, but very active and personable. You would never know it except if you snuck up on her port side. She's a total foodie (veggies, fruit, pellets, and hay) and attacks her food and her food plates with relish. I often come down to her room (she has her own room at our place because of the kitties) and find the bowl and the plate in opposite corners.

Who wants a bunny now? ;-)
