My story

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

Must adopt with bond mate, Jerry

Hi there! I'm BEN, but you can also call me Benny. I come with an adorable sidekick named Jerry, and we're a dynamic bunny duo that must be adopted together. Our foster family often mentions our strong personalities, and we've come a long way from our tough beginnings being rescued with 24 other family members.

Life now is fantastic, especially because I get to share it with my brother and best friend, Jerry! Exploring is one of our favorite activities, although I'm a tad more cautious, so I usually let Jerry take the lead. When we're not in our expen, you'll find me seeking out cozy corners to stretch out in. My foster family has been helping me build up my courage, and I might just surprise you with a gentle nudge.

Once I'm out of my expen, it's zoom time! Binkies are my specialty, and while I usually prefer keeping my feet on the ground, I might be persuaded to hop onto your lap for a treat or a delightful salad. Ah, salads – they're a highlight of my day. You'll have the chance to pet me while I munch away, and I'm generous enough to share with Jerry, even if I suspect he's getting more carrots than I am. My love for crunchy apple banana treats and dried cranberries is unmatched, and when treats arrive, I become a speed-eating champion to ensure Jerry doesn't snatch mine.

Jerry and I share a special bond. He's a pro at grooming my ears, and there's nothing better than snuggling up with him at naptime. Despite having plenty of space, we still choose to nap side by side, often in the same box. Although, if Jerry happens to have a particularly cool stick, I might just have to claim it for myself.

I'm proud to say I'm litter box trained, and accidents are rare, though the occasional cocoa puff might escape, especially if I'm startled. We've grown accustomed to household noises, but being bunnies, we still get a bit jumpy sometimes. We haven't had the pleasure of meeting kids or other pets yet, so we're not sure how we'd react, but we're open to making new friends.

Jerry and I are excited to meet you and share more about our bunny lives. If you're ready for double the bunny love, come say hi – we can't wait to hop into our forever home with you!

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.
