My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Must adopt with bond mate, Seth

Hi there, I'm Lex, and I'm here to share a little about myself and my buddy Seth. We're a dynamic duo with a whole lot of character. You'll find me to be friendly, cute, clever, and, well, just a tad mischievous.

I absolutely love to explore, and I usually follow Seth around on our adventures. You could say I'm the energetic one, always on the move. But there's a catch - I can be a bit shy around people, and I get scared quite easily. My energy level tends to be medium to high, whereas Seth's is more on the medium to low side.

Our journey started when we were rescued from a breeder at a very young age. The breeder had grown tired of bunnies and had some rather unfortunate plans for us and the other bunnies rescued with us. Thankfully, we found our way to a better life. We've been through a lot together, and that's why we're a bonded pair. It's crucial that we stay together, as we're best buddies.

While we don't demand a ton of attention, we do need to be let out to free roam every day because we get anxious being cooped up in our xpen. However, when we're out and about, you'll need to keep a close eye on us and bunny-proof the area, especially for me, as I tend to make things a little messy when I run around. I have a knack for finding cords to chew on and sometimes taking a nibble at the carpet.

We enjoy having sticks to chew on and a tunnel to run through – it's a blast! Regular outings from our xpen are a must, and we also appreciate the occasional trip to a RRMN Romp and Spa for grooming.

We're getting better at litter training, and we've come a long way since we first came into the rescue. As I mentioned earlier, my energy level is on the higher side, while Seth is more laid-back. We're super friendly and adaptable to new environments, but we're not big on snuggling. Like most bunnies, we prefer to keep all four feet on the ground.

Our diet consists of Oxbow rabbit pellets, and fresh veggies and we're quite content with it. We absolutely love kids and would do just fine in a home with older, considerate children. However, we haven't been around cats or dogs, so it's uncertain how that would go.

One unique thing we do is flop down really fast, and it's absolutely adorable to watch. We bring a touch of charm and fun to any home we're a part of. So, if you're looking for a pair of lovable, adventurous bunnies who are always up for a little mischief and a lot of exploration, Seth and I are here, waiting to be part of your family.

*RRMN does not recommend our rabbits as companion animals for anyone under the age of 10*

If you're interested, please fill out an adoption application at: http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.

Gender: Male

Approximate birthdate: 1/30/2023

Adoption fee for Pair: $150.00 (+tax)

RRMN bunnies are all vetted, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. All bunnies are fostered in private homes where they are socialized and ready to become indoor companion house pets. RRMN is a non-profit rescue group operated 100% by volunteers, and 100% of donations/adoption fees go to the direct care of our animals. Due to their very special behavioral needs, we do not advocate for our rescue rabbits to serve as Emotional Support Animals (ESAs).  We are unable to provide any documentation or certification for an ESA.     

If you have any questions or are interested in meeting or adopting this bunny, the first step is to complete an adoption application found on our website:  http://www.rabbitrescueofmn.com.  For the safety of our rescue bunnies, our protocol requires a home-visit before placement.  Therefore, we are unable to facilitate adoptions that exceed an hour and a half of travel time from the Twin Cities area.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based Rescue and do not have a shelter location. You must have an approved application on file before an official meet-and-greet can occur. However, we regularly hold public events where anyone is welcome to stop by and meet some bunnies! All events can be found under the "Events" tab on our website.

More about this rescue

Rabbit Rescue of MN is a 501(c)3 non-profit rabbit rescue. Our mission is somewhat different than that of many other rescues as we take in sick, abused, neglected, abandoned and unwanted domestic rabbits, as well as rabbits from the public that are no longer wanted. We fundraise in order to get proper vetting and then focus on rehabilitation to ready our rabbits for their forever homes.


We are 100% volunteer-based and have no paid staff. All of our rescue rabbits are cared for in private foster homes where they are properly housed and receive love and socialization. We do not advocate housing our rescue rabbits in pet stores of any kind. Prior to adoption we screen our applicants thoroughly including a background check and a visit to our applicant's home to ensure that our rescue rabbits will be properly housed in a well-ventilated, well-lit and space appropriate area. Our mission includes educating first time rabbit families on the proper housing, exercise, diet and medical care.


Our rescue rabbits are all wellness checked, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. We pride ourselves on informing the public that domestic rabbits are “exotic” pets/family members and require very specific care, medical attention and housing, as well as a space in the home where they can be part of the family.
