 Best Known For:

These two are a bonded pair and will regularly groom each other. If one is upset with Mom for whatever reason he/she will go to the other and tell on Mom (Mom can tell!). The two run the Bunny 500 together in the hallway twice a day religiously.
Toki has no preservation instinct, she will jump from anything onto anything and over anything. The second day after her spay surgery, she jumped over the two foot fence of her "safety after surgery" area.
Ther is no wire, fabric, or carpet too tough for Toke (Mom has become an avid phone cord buyer at the local Dollar Store, and a pro at furniture and molding refinishing).
"Explorabunny" Toki can get into any space. There is no space too narrow. This comes in handy for helping Mom, she can catch all the dust bunnies on her whiskers in all those hard to reach places.
Toki has a VERY healthy appetite, she will kill for her evening raisin and she loves Oxbow's Papaya tablests, Timothy hay, and Oat hay as well as their pellets (she's a "brand name" kind of gal). She also loves Romain lettuce, carrots, apples and grapes.
Little Toki is the kiss-giver and is definitely a happy girl who jumps in the air many times throughout the day.
Lagos is an HRS rescue bunny who has scars from sore hocks, and a fractured toe that healed sideways. He was very aggressive at first, charging and grunting when Mom tried to touch him or pet him and biting many times. Since finding his forever home with Mom in September 2005, his true charm has emerged and he is the sweetest soul. He enjoys having the back of his ears rubbed and playing "squishy face".
Still, Lagos is the "Serious Bunny", letting Mom know what he wants by either giving Mom a powerful nudge or stomping to let Mom know who the boss is. He is also a noisy bun, almost like guinea pig (Mom loves that).
Lagos has much the same taste in food as Toki, but is a gentleman and doesn't stuff his face. He will not move on to the next Romaine leaf until he is done with his carrot, and will not bite more than he can chew, unlike his roommate. He enjoys his daily routine of eating some pellets out of Mom's hand. It is their sacred "Just the two of us" moment.

 If You Could Read Their Minds:

Toki: "Did you bring me something? Is it food? What have you got there? What is that? Can I see? Can I? Can I? Pleaaaasseeee???" Lagos: STOMP "No, I will not stop digging the carpet!" STOMP "I will not get out from under your bed and go to my room (STOMP) and you cannot make me!" STOMP "How dare you pick me up! Grunt, grunt, munch, munch, ok I forgive you. Just give me another raisin ... NOW!"
