Datin has been with us for the the past 5 years... She's the most intelligent rodent that I've ever seen and I don't think I will ever have a rabbit full of personality just like her. It was in April 2005, when I decided that I wanted to a pet to prove to my parents that i'm now fully responsible to take care of my own pet. Sitting behind the glass window with a bunch of young little bunnies, sat this white and brown bunny, more prominent that others because she wasn't sleeping and eating just like the others... She was stepping on top of the other sleeping rabbits to get over to the glass window ! I still remembered that the sales girls was a 12 years old little girl taking over the booth when her mother was taking a short break... she took out a grey bunny, eyes open wide! with shock !! hmm.. Then I asked, what about the little brown and white rabbit ? Datin was totally cute ! She wasnt struggling to break free nor her eyes was open wide with fear.. At that moment I knew that she was brave and cunning !
She was initially named Penny, because my mom said that we should name her something related to wealth.. Like JackPot or Dollar or Ringgit or Yen or 4D ! haha ! Fei was her second name because she was "fat" and "fast". Datin was later added on because of her personality. She had this thick fur around her neck and she wasn't afraid of anything except cats. She would have this growling sounds when we feed her. And we were all afraid of her because she bites.. But behind those "self-protectiveness", she was in fact a very "manja" rabbit.. She aboslutely loves massages just like any other rabbits... She'll come to you once a while when she's out of her cage.
There's were many many many memorable moments with her.. They say that an average lifespan of a rabbit was 5 years. 2 more months and Datin would be 6 years old. I always assume that she would live longer... But I guess urinary cancer got to her first..
It's still heart breaking to me that she passed away so fast. She was so happy when we let her out to get some breeze and fresh air on Saturday.. and she was gone on Sunday..
She was a matter of fact, one of a kind... !!
