The rabbits have definitely formed a natural hierarchy. Sonny is without doubt the boss!
She is a bit bigger than Oreo and Mashupi and is the most dominant of the rabbits.
Then after Sonny it is Oreo. He is the only male, and tries to be the boss, but we all know that Sonny is calling the shots.
There is a phrase in Japan “Ikemin” which I guess means something like “handsome guy” or “good looking dude” etc. Anyway, Oreo really thinks he has it going on now that there are two female rabbits sharing his hutch. So we have started calling him “Oreo Ikemin”
Then we have the lovely Mashupi! She is such a sweetheart! She is so gentle, and has become great friends with Oreo.
Hana and Maki love Mashupi, and we are so glad that she has joined Oreo and Sonny.
Hopefully Oreo will start to stand up for himself a bit more, and not let Sonny walk all over him!!
