About Me

Hi! I'm Vanilla Bean! I'm a black-and-white Netherland Dwarf rabbit with more curiosity than you can imagine. While my friend Toffee likes to sit still and be petted, I want to explore EVERYTHING. New smells? I'm sniffing them. New corner of the hutch? I'm checking it out. New visitor? I'm coming over to say hi! I'm small but mighty, and my black-and-white fur makes me look like a little spotted bean — hence the name! I love gentle attention, but I also love to investigate. Come visit me and I'll come right up to see what you're all about!

My Personality

Vanilla Bean is the curious, adventurous bunny of the pair. Where Toffee is calm and still, Vanilla Bean is always on the move, investigating, sniffing, and exploring. He's friendly and outgoing for a rabbit, often approaching visitors on his own. He has a bold, inquisitive personality that complements Toffee's gentle nature perfectly.

Fresh dill, basil leaves, and tiny pieces of strawberry. He loves hay just as much as Toffee — it's a rabbit thing!

How to Interact With Me

Vanilla Bean is curious and will often come right up to investigate visitors! He enjoys gentle pets on his head and back. Since he's small and active, let him come to you rather than reaching for him. He's great for visitors who want an interactive bunny experience!

Safety Tips

Vanilla Bean is small and delicate, so only hold him if a farm helper says it's okay. Always support his back legs when holding. Never pick him up by his ears. He's more active than Toffee, so he might wiggle — hold him gently but securely. Don't feed him without permission.

Did You Know?

Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk — they're 'crepuscular,' which means they love the early morning and evening light!

Common

Netherland Dwarf rabbits originated in the Netherlands in the early 1900s and are one of the smallest rabbit breeds in the world. They typically weigh only 1.5 to 2.5 pounds as adults! Despite their tiny size, they are energetic and curious. They have compact, rounded bodies and short, upright ears. Netherland Dwarfs are popular pets because of their adorable appearance and gentle nature. They need a diet of mostly hay to keep their teeth healthy and their digestive system working properly.
