I am a lagomorph. I have long ears, and I am called a “mini lop” rabbit.
I will tell you what a lagomorph is. A lagomorph is a small animal. Most of us have long ears — some of them stand upright, and some, like mine, hang off the top of our heads. I call them droopy ears.
Some rabbits live outdoors, where they forage or scavenge for their food. They search outside each day for their food.
I am lucky. I have a couple of humans who take care of me inside their house. They call me a “domesticated rabbit.” I think that’s so silly.
They think I don’t understand them when they talk to me. The fact is, even though I can’t talk out loud, I do understand a lot of their words. I know when they say, “Magellan! Salad!” for breakfast or dinner. I hop right over to my plate of lettuces and spinach and broccoli.
Now, back to my story about pellets. I love to eat my pellets every day. The pellets are made of timothy grass hay, with lots of vitamins and minerals. They keep me healthy. My doctor, a veterinarian, says I should get a few daily.
Sometimes, I like to scavenge for my pellets in pieces of crumpled-up paper. There seems to be a lot of crumpled-up paper around our house. I wonder why!
