Meet Gus, the inspiration behind The Rabbit Ate My Homework:

Gus is a three-year-old, New Zealand cross house rabbit. He lives free in the house, just like a cat or a dog. He has a large cage with his food dishes, toys, and litter box, but he only stays in there at night or if we go out. Some house rabbits don't even have a cage!

Gus eats grass, hay, rabbit pellets, and salad greens. His favourite treats are sliced banana, cilantro, dandelion leaves, and tortilla chips.

When he isn't napping under the kitchen table, Gus likes to spend time in the back yard (where he chases the squirrels), play with his blankie, and run really fast and then jump in the air, twisting his body, and shaking his head in movement called a 'binky.' Gus also enjoys walks on his leash and going camping.
