Who helped us: Nole. H, Reese. H, Victoria. J, Mia. E, Reese and Nole’s Mom helped us get the cage, Victoria’s Mom helped us transport the cage and Reese and Nole’s dad helped transport the cage, and Ms. Owens.
Materials: The cage is made of: The cage is metal and has a second floor that we attached using a wired platform and tied it with a zip tie. We used cardboard for the second floor to protect the rabbit’s feet. For the litter box we reused a cat litter box that has not been used.
Critter Test:
Critter Statement: At first the bunny was scared but then she started to hop around and explored the bed we put in the cage she also was jumping on and off the second story. the bunny wasn’t shown jumping on and off the second story in the video, but the bunny was jumping on and off the second story. the bunny used the cardboard and chewed into it. then she ate some of her food and laid down and got comfortable.
Things about are rabbit: this rabbit belongs too Reese H, and Nole H. the rabbit we are using is about 5 years she had 4 babies and now.
We named her precious, but we call her Mama. She’s kind, she LOVES food like basil, sweet peppers, and strawberries. She likes to cuddle and hangout with others. She’s a lion head rabbit, she’s super fluffy.
