WICC Pet of The Week
Edward is the definition of fluff! This 5-year-old bunny might catch your eye right away for his good looks, but he wants you to know he’s more than just handsome. He was great with kids in his last home and didn’t even mind the dog! He’d love a penned-in area or room in his new home, and enjoys his proper bunny diet of hay, dark leafy greens, pellets and an apple for an occasional treat. Brushing him frequently will be important to maintaining his thick coat. He’s also been neutered while at the Connecticut Humane Society.
