The Bachelor sits calmly, waiting to meet Bachelorette 1. Once she enters, Athena strides right over. Unfortunately, her brashness makes Tuck nervous. He holds himself stock-still, with only a faint twitch now and again until, suddenly, he lunges aggressively, and Athena dashes away out of reach. She regroups, then comes back, a bit more coy, drawing near but not too near, rubbing her face demurely. Tuck eyes her, still tense. Eventually he relaxes a bit and begins smoothing his whiskers and licking his toes, watching out of the corner of his eye as Athena is led away. Welcome to Bunny Speed-Dating.

He needed a friend. Tuck was the second dater of the day. The first was 4½-year-old KitKat, whose owner, Lauren Freestone, brought her in from Jersey City. And so it was that over several hours, Tuck had two dates each with four different Bachelorettes while Hansen played Vivaldi on her iPhone to get the bunnies in the mood and to drown out the barking dogs nearby. Hansen and Harding mused that one day they may get tiny tuxes and tiaras, but for now the rabbits were au naturel for their prospective mates. Harding and Venable chose the Bachelorettes together, favoring lady-bunnies that had the right temperament for partnership and had been in the shelter for awhile. There was Bloomie, a 1½-year-old Palomino, who also came on much too strong for the aloof Tuck. There was September, a three-year-old Mini-Rex, who was chosen because she was calmer and smaller than Tuck. And then, finally, there was two-year-old Twist, part Angora and part Loop-Ear. As Venable described their meeting: It was like watching two middle-schoolers at a dance: Totally awkward but man they liked each other! And you know that old saying: The couple that poops together… um… are hopefully bunnies? Venable and Tuck took Twist home with them that night, and she has been helping them to bond each day. She started by renaming Twist to Cher—what boy-bunny could resist that? Included is a kit full of food, treats, and bowls, plus the rabbits will be microchipped and the adoption coordinators will provide ongoing counseling for new bunny parents.
