Shelter Star Of The Month: Bella the Singapore breed rabbit

SINGAPORE – Bella is a three-year-old local breed rabbit. She can be a bit timid at first, but over time, she will show you her sweet, affectionate nature.

Although she prefers not to be carried, Bella will allow humans to pet her if you approach gently at her eye level. She expresses gratitude, greetings and apologies with soft licks.

The charcoal-coloured bunny can be picky with food and is extremely sensitive to strong citrus scents.

Bella, who is litter-trained and sterilised, weighs about 2.2kg. She needs a playpen of at least 2m by 1m or a free-roaming space.

If you are keen to adopt Bella or her other rabbit friends, contact House Rabbit Society Singapore (HRSS) via its Facebook page (
