Rynn Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I used to have pet rabbits. If you get a second one from a pet store, you shouldn't necessarily trust their judgment on your rabbit's sex. We bought six. Then we had twenty. Link to post Share on other sites

Skycaptain Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Best story concerned my first rabbit. He was a house rabbit, had a litter tray etc. Mum was making elderberry wine, and had a bucket full of water and elderberries steeping in it. The bucket had a muslin cloth on top. Bunny, not knowing any different, thought the cloth could bear his weight... 😋 😋 It's amazing how much dark red fluid a small rabbit can hold in its fur 😃, and of course, having hot out, he ran around the kitchen-diner shaking himself frequently. Guess who had to repaint the room? 😡 Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Quail Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Our family currently has a rabbit, his name is Cinder and he's an absolute joy to have around. Unfortunately he loves being naughty. There's been several occasions where he's jumped up on the couch when he's not supposed to... he's done the same with a beanbag in our living room and eventually we just allowed him to claim it Last year we had an interesting situation where a wild rabbit (not fully wild, its coat was patterned and showed clear signs of domestication) showed up to our backyard. Because Cinder spends a lot of time outside, this rabbit was aware of Cinder's presence and would constantly hang around him. Whenever we put Cinder out in his pen to play, he and the other rabbit would play together (as best as they could since they were separated) and they'd boop each other's noses. It was so precious. Sadly we one day caught word that the wild rabbit was found dead in a neighbor's yard. Sorry for the sad ending :< Anyways, here's the fluffle bun, devouring a half finished dandelion crown I made for him: Link to post Share on other sites

My friend left her pet rabbit with two friends to rabbit-sit. When she returned the rabbit had a completely different personality. She is pretty sure her rabbit escaped and the two friends just bought a new one and pretended it was hers. Link to post Share on other sites

Skycaptain Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 @CBC, I think most male rabbits do that. There was also the time one of my male rabbits decided to treat next door's tomcat like a female rabbit. The alarming thing is that the cat was enjoying proceedings. The funny bit was next door neighbour looking over the fence at that moment wondering why their cat hadn't come in for dinner Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Alien Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I’ve never had a rabbit. Until I moved to England, I didn’t even consider the concept of rabbits as pets except for magicians pulling them out of hats. I look forward to having a pair of buns one day when we have a garden and more space. Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 When I was a kid I had a friend at school who reportedly had a pet vulture who used to get beat up by his sister's pet rabbit. At least that's what I vaguely recall him telling us. Link to post Share on other sites

Skycaptain Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The first rabbit I hosted was the school's one during a holiday. She was called Mischief for a reason. An escape from her hutch overnight and she was in the vegetable basket when I came downstairs Link to post Share on other sites

RenalWaldo Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I helped rescue a neighbor’s bunny once. He’d gotten loose in their yard and I had to go knock on their door to warn them. We also had some wild rabbits in our yard who would come up to the window and look at our cat. He was quite perplexed when he saw them; I guess he’s not as threatening a predator as he thinks he is.
