Nip and Tuck


I have not mentioned two senior members of our family. Nip and Tuck are a pair of ten-year-old mini-Rex houserabbits. Rexes are a breed of rabbit originally bred for pelts and meat and characterized by short coats. Sort of like an all-over crew cut. A full-sized Rex rabbit could be between 15 and 20 pounds in weight. Nip and Tuck weigh between 4 and 5 pounds. That’s why they’re mini-Rexes.

That’s Nip and Tuck above here. Although born to different mothers Nip and Tuck were born on the same day and they’ve never been apart. They are really devoted to each other. They’re also very fond of my wife. They hate me. I’ve tried to cultivate them–it hasn’t helped at all.

  • Cute rabbits. If you’d like them to like you, try feeding them baby carrots. That’s how I won over Marmalade.
