Hop On It. “Hamburger” the Bunny is Ready to Adopt in Billings

Be still my beating heart. 95% of our featured Wet Nose Wednesday pets from Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter are dogs. Every once in a while, we'll feature a cat or kitten.

So when Derek Wulf, Humane Outreach Coordinator at YVAS, showed up today with a bunny, I was pretty excited. As far as I can recall, this was the first rabbit we've had in our 23rd-floor studios.

Meet Hamburger, the adorable rabbit.

Wulf said someone found Hamburger hopping around the Billings area and brought him to the shelter on July 25th. He's a black, short-haired bunny, age unknown (it's difficult to determine a rabbit's age), who weighs about 8 pounds.

Hamburger is pretty chill.

This guy obviously had a human who cared for him; he's not skittish, and he seems to enjoy being held and petted.

Rabbits can be great pets.

My oldest daughter got a bunny when she was little. His name was Chewy Chew Choo, and he looked a lot like Hamburger. Rabbits are relatively easy to care for; they can be house-trained with a litter box, or they can live outdoors year-round in a well-built rabbit hutch.

Bonus: rabbit droppings are an excellent "cool" fertilizer for your garden or compost pile.
