Let's Talk About Peter

We first saw Hank in February 15, 2014 at an adoption event of the East Bay Bunny Rescue (EBBR) in Dublin, CA. 

We were looking for a new friend for Oreo because she just lost her sister Cookie. 

When Oreo was introduced to Hank, Hank immediately started grooming her (unlike the others who were growling or biting).

Since my son was only 6 and a half years old and loved Peter Rabbit, we renamed Hank as Peter. 

Peter started off very shy and scared, but eventually warmed up and became friendly. 

He learned many begging techniques from Oreo, such as licking and nudging. His signature begging move is sitting on his hind legs and lifting his paws like a dog. Sometimes, he would even rest his two front paws on us.

Peter is cautious about what he eats. He normally wouldn't touch any unfamiliar veggies unless Oreo was already eating it.

One thing for sure, Peter loves banana. He gobbles it up and chews noisily like a dog eating peanut butter.

Peter and Oreo have been together for five years now.

They get along most of the time; but just like anybody living with somebody, Peter does have moments when he annoys Oreo. 

Otherwise, they're usually snuggling in one place.

Peter is our fuzzy, furry boy who sheds a lump of white fur in the summer. He gained a pound this year and is a bit lazy, but we love him just the same.
