Are you looking for a sweet companion who loves pets and attention? Look no further! Stocking is a gentle bun who is somewhat shy and hesitant at first but, once you gain his trust, is a real cuddle bug who will come to the front of the pen to greet you and follow you around to ask for attention. He loves having his head stroked and his ears massaged, and will happily grind his teeth in contentment. When you're done petting him, he will bump your hand, nudge your leg, or sometimes try to crawl into your lap to ask for more! He loves following his best buddy Mr. Kringle around, and is often found snuggling with him. He enjoys all types of food, and especially loves munching on hay in his litter box. Stocking is a true gem who will win your heart!
