Mia, my new pet rabbit.

Most of you may know I have beautiful male rabbit named Kikko. We adopted him over 3 years ago and have been very happy with him. But recently with the loss of Priscilla my pet rat we all felt like it was time to find another female pet and why not a bunny so Kikko could finally have a friend. We decided to check out our nearest animal shelter and see if they had any pet bunnies that would get along well with Kikko. My local animal shelter actually had 3 bunnies. Unfortunately one of them was a male rabbit which would be a problem because two male bunnies normally tend to attack each other. Luckily there were two female rabbits that were both very sweet and loving. We set up what my animal shelter likes to call a “meet and great” which consisted of us bringing in Kikko to meet with the two other female rabbits and see which one he would get along with the best. He ended up liking a rabbit called Strikes the most so we quickly filled adoption papers and waited to see if they would release her to us. The process toke about a couple of days and she was finally released to us on Wednesday of this week. It has been really exciting to have a new member of the family. We changed her name from Streaks to Mia because we felt it would flow better with Kikko’s name. Mia is white with a couple of black accents and Kikko is all black.


If you are ever looking to adopt a pet please check out your animal shelter first. They have such a huge variety of pets that I am almost certain you will find one that captures you heart. And if you’re local animal shelter doesn’t than check other nearby shelters. These animals want nothing more than to have a home and to share unconditional love with someone. The next time you are interested in buying any pet weather it’s a cat, bird, or dogs check out your shelter first you might be very surprised with what you find.

I hope you enjoy the pets in your life,
Angela
