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

- Keep her with the company she loves, often a bonded friend as well as you.
- Sit on the floor and let her come to you for gentle head strokes.

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