NIM is a young adult rabbit looking
for her forever family! This beautiful
bunny has lived as an indoor rabbit
and enjoys tasty treats such as
carrots, apples, and greens. When
Nim feels comfortable, she will
seek out attention and she enjoys
being petted. Rabbits have a long
life span, so we also suggest
researching the species before
adopting. If you are looking for a
quiet companion, Nim might be the
one for you!
