My story

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

Must adopt with bond mate, Bugsy

Hi there, I’m Boots! I’m the brown lop you see in the pictures and the gray one you see is my best friend, Bugsy. We must be adopted together, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Bugsy brings out the best in me! 

People say I’m friendly and charming, but I’ll admit I’m a little bashful at first. I’m the more laid-back one between the two of us. While Bugsy is off exploring, you’ll probably find me tucked into my little tent, just relaxing. But don't get me wrong - once I warm up to you, I do enjoy your company. I’ve even been known to come over and check things out when someone’s sitting near us. Especially if you have treats!

Speaking of treats, I love dried carrots! Offer me one and I’ll gently take it from your hand. If I’m not in the mood, I might shake my head at you - sometimes even my ears get in on it and I’ve been told it’s pretty cute.

I’ve been doing well in my foster home with respectful children and even household cats. I haven’t met the dogs face-to-face since there's always a barrier, but the setup works for us. Our routine here is calm and consistent. Every morning and evening we’re greeted, fed, and given fresh water. We get time to run around and explore, and I always make my way back to our comfy enclosure!

We have lots to keep us busy - stackable toys, tunnels, and hay-stuffed toilet paper rolls that are fun to dig into. We also have apple wood to chew on, and while we’re not destructive, we appreciate having good things to nibble on.

We’re both litter trained, though sometimes we do miss. We like a clean space and appreciate regular upkeep. We eat Oxbow pellets and Timothy hay - just not the Kaytee brand. I also get brushed once a week, which helps keep me looking my best!

Both Bugsy and I enjoy being petted, and the more comfortable we become, the more we lean into that. I'm still getting there socially, but I'm making steady progress. Bugsy gives me a lot of comfort - I really do like curling up next to him.

If you’re looking for a pair of calm, sweet bunnies who are already adjusting well to a home environment, we might be just the ones for you!

*RRMN requires all children be 10+ years old for first time bunny owners and 8+ for those with previous bunny experience.  All applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.* 

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

Gender: Male

Approximate birthdate: 6/12/2020

Approximate weight: 5.4 lbs

Adoption fee for Pair: $160.00 (+tax)

RRMN bunnies are all vetted, spayed/neutered, and vaccinated. 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.
