Henry (Formerly Custer)
Kate Elizabeth Queram

Henry is doing so great! I can't even explain how much I adore my little bunny man. I was initially worried about how my two cats would react to having a bunny around (and vice versa), but from day one Henry was completely unfazed by them, hopping right over to give them a sniff and bunny-flop next to them on the couch. Now he plays tag with my cat Sophie and frequently charges at Kismet - and scares him (even though Kismet is WAY bigger than Henry)! He is very cranky, is molting like a fiend, loves pets on the nose and ears, and grunts with joy whenever food is put in his cage. I just absolutely adore him and can't thank you guys enough for what you do.
Cupcake and Mama Esther
From John DeSantis and Bonnie Hurwitz, adopters of Mama (now Mama Esther)

Mama Esther and Cupcake continue to be totally in love!  They constantly cuddle and groom each other, and although Mama is still a little more shy with us than our exuberant Cupcake, whom we took in as a baby, she has warmed up and seems very comfortable.  Their favorite spot for snuggling continues to be, ironically, the old roasting pan which we found in our house, now filled with hay (this being a totally vegetarian household our little darlings are in no danger of coming to any harm in that pan!).  All of the children in the neighborhood adore them and come over for carefully supervised visits to give them pieces of broccoli.

We can never thank Friends of Rabbits enough for everything you do for so many rabbits and also for the support you give to adopters.  Being in animal rescue ourselves we looked carefully at many shelters and rescues when we made the decision to adopt a companion for Cupcake.  We chose Friends of Rabbits because of the wonderful guidance you give adopters both before and after adoption.  Being new to the world of house rabbits and knowing very little about these enchanting creatures, we have really appreciated your willingness to educate and help those of us who have a lot to learn.  We look forward to seeing everyone again at future events.

Owl
From Elizabeth B.
 
Owl and I are doing well. I've attached two pictures of Owl being cute and one of me invading his pen to study with him. He's learned how to jump out of the pen onto my bed to come say hi (which I find very very cute). He only does this occasionally but I've had to make a little blockade for when I'm out so he can't get stuck out of his pen without water. He LOVES pear and makes very cute loud lip smacking noises when he eats it.

Peanut, Sweetheart, Oreo
From Josie T.
 
My lovable "threesome" came to me in October of 2007. I have learned so much about rabbit social politics, rabbit preferences...they were not in the way of being sociable, so they were bonded by a miracle worker named Susan. They have grown cuddly, and love to groom each other. We are fostering two bun-buns right now, an "oldster," a lovely girl I call Lola, and a fun-loving young bachelor we call Gandalph. If no home can be found for them., I will adopt them too. My bunny family is growing in love and numbers, and the neighborhood is curious and receptive as I sing the many praises of rabbits as pets. Love and hope to all who adopt and foster.
Rufus
From Cindy O'Keefe

Rufus has been a wonderful addition to our family. As you can see from the picture he is a great match for our Netherland Dwarf rabbit, Princess. They really seem to be in love! He loves to eat hay or anything else. He is sweet and very laid back. Thanks for introducing us. It was a great experience. I was so impressed by all the knowledge and passion you all have with these wonderful creatures.
