Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Batman is a very sweet velveteen rabbit, black with beige belly and paws. He can fall asleep in your arms if you hold him. Neutered and litter trained, he is used to living in an open cage with a playpan, and keeps his space very clean. A little shy at first. If you put him on a bed with a fitted sheet, he becomes very funny. He tries to stretch the sheet, loves the slide, and keeps doing it. Then he trows binkies. If you have a clean blankie for him, she tries to move it around on the bed, until it is in the perfect location. (He does that with his mouth (teeth), so make sure it is his blankie he is playing with.) Then he lays down like a king.
A very sweet little soul, and really pleasant to touch. His fur is like a thick velvet, and once you start petting him, you want to keep doing it.
Batman was rescued from a person who had two 6-mo-old male rabbits share a small cage. when I took them on, and let them share a large playpan, they could not stop running, and throwing binkies. Both brothers were adopted, but Batman was returned a year later because the family acquired a new member who was allergic. Since returning to the rescue, Batman showed interest to live with a female rabbit. He made friends with and shared space with a female here, but he is alone again, as she moved on. Batman loves females, but can not stand a male rabbit. I tried integrating him into my group if rabbit, but he was scared to share space with males, and fought with them.
Best scenario for Batman is to join a female rabbit who needs a companion. Second best is to be company for someone who has time. If he is alone (no rabbit companion) and the owner is away many hours a day, he gets depressed. I had a trial with a student who was commutting to school, and Batman totally changed his behaviour. After being left alone 8-10 hours a day, he was lonely and got mad at the student. When the student held him in the evening, Batman was nipping him a lot, and the student contacted me for advice. So I figured Batman was not happy. I took him back, and the behaviour totally disappeared, instantly.
In conclusion, Batman needs a female companion to be happy. Or he would make a good companion to a person with a lot of time in their hands.
