Jellie is a glistening black, up-eared, neutered male lop. He was rescued from
a shelter in New Jersey when his time was up. Also rescued with him were his
mom Daisy Mae (she.s been adopted), his sister Nellie and his brother Zoom.
The brothers and sisters were about two months old when they were rescued.
Unfortunately, Nellie and Zoom passed away about a week apart when they were
around 6 months old. We think they both had colds or pneumonia, both of which
are very common in bunnies. All three siblings looked and acted identical .
shiny black coats and hopping around like typical baby bunnies. Jellie has
grown up into a smaller sized lop, just like his mother. He has bonded to his
girlfriend Bonnie Bun Buns, who depends on him and looks to him for comfort.
Jellie is inquisitive and quick to alert Bonnie of possible danger, such as a
stranger approaching or someone trying to clean their litter box. He makes a
couple of loud stomps to sound the alert, then retreats to his log home where
he waits out the intruder. Once the intruder is gone, he comes out to survey
any damage or rearranging done. If the litter box has been moved, Jellie will
pick it up with his teeth and let it drop (right side up, luckily) with a
thump. And he LOVES his treats. When he hears the yogurt treat bag open, he
comes running out and will gently take one from your hand and devour it. He
also likes to sit in baskets.
Jellie has been checked out by our bunny vet on various routine occasions and
is perfectly healthy, including his teeth. He has had no health issues
whatsoever since he's been in the PAW program (or before, as far as we know).
Jellie has been raised with kittens, cats, and dogs and seems unconcerned with
all of them. While a little hard to catch, once he.s caught he will sit
happily in your lap...until something else catches his eye. He will sniff
around and explore, then settle down for a nap nearby. He likes to sniff your
face, then give you a little nudge with his nose. One caution: Jellie does
like to eat electrical and computer cords, so protect them or keep Jellie out
of their area.
Jellie and Bonnie must be adopted together, as they are totally bonded to each
other.

adopting an animal or interested in getting involved with the foster
"parent" program, please contact Jellie's foster,
