The Burrow Builder
Home is everything to a Cancer rabbit. They know every corner of their space, which cardboard room is the bedroom, which tunnel leads to the lounge, and they like it all just so. Ruled by the Moon, this bunny feels their way through the day and gives their heart to the few they trust, whether that is a bonded partner, you, or ideally both.
They show love in small, devoted ways: a lick on the back of your hand, a long wash of their partner's ears, a gentle lean against your leg on the floor. Give them a safe nest and plenty of quiet company, and they will make your home feel like theirs too.

How to love a Cancer rabbit
- Give them a snug cardboard house and leave it where they expect it.
- Keep them with the company they love, often a bonded friend as well as you.
- Sit on the floor and let them come to you for gentle head strokes.
- Offer soft blankets they can arrange into their own perfect nest.

Very Cancer behavior
- Arranges their blanket, lies on it, gets up, arranges it again.

- Washes their partner's ears whether the partner asked or not.
They are sentimental about their space, so a new setup takes time. One familiar blanket and all is forgiven.
