“He loves exploring,” she said of the 1-year-old bunny. “He loves to eat homemade treats. He loves to be petted and snuggled. He loves to hop on furniture and climb on things. He is always full of energy and loves to play.
“He is also very gentle and loves to be around people. He is very well-behaved and loves to follow commands.”
You can start voting for Sheldon starting on March 11 at noon. You can follow @cadburyusa on Instagram and vote for him on their Instagram stories. He hopes to make it past the round of 32 and to the “Creme 16,” “Eggcelent 8,” “Final Fur,” and then on to the championship.
