SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Ella

Sorry, I did not post my usual SPCA Pet of the Day on Sunday but this week it is something different, a white rabbit.

"I was roaming on a property which also had dogs on it, so for my own safety, I was brought to SPCA.
I have a strong character and will need a home with someone who is experienced with rabbits. Once I know I am loved, I calm down but at first I do come across as reactive. I would love to have a friend, I haven't met one here at SPCA, so if you have a lonely male rabbit, maybe we could be friends?
I wouldn't suit young children or a busy home as I get worried by sudden movements and loud noises. I will need a large grassy area with a weather-proof hutch for day time. At night I will need an area inside with my family."
