Show me your bunnies!

Sorry, I need cheering up. Our bunny had to be put down today. Suffered a broken leg last night (hind leg in the tibia just above the big joint) and the vet reckoned the only thing we could do after the x-ray was to have her put to sleep. Not sure I fully agree but I wasn't there to argue.

So anyway I'll kick it off, with Chase

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

for some reason those pictures make me think of nice warn slippers and stew 😀

LOL jon1973- beat me to it ya bugger!

Toby has featured on here before, in the 'how to keep cats out of your garden' thread.

jon/tazzy – just a bit too predicable 🙄

tthew – Toby looks like he takes no mess from anyone. Let a alone a cat. Now where's my carrot?

heres my Levi

she went to the big warren 3 years ago 🙁

The biggest problem with Toby is he's the best 'sprayer' we ever had, and he has a really bad habit of running round under your feet and bike, so he's been troden on and wheeled over a few times.

Now the previous one, Robbie, he was hard. He escaped into the next door garden once, got in through their catflap and was caught doing the wild thing to the mother-in-law's little lap dog effort.

Rascal. Still very much with us. Although nearly eight now and slowing down a little.

what no playboy bunnies!

I really want a rabbit! Am currently trying to convince my other half that it's a good idea.

Are they easy to look after?

This thread is really making me want a rabbit again! Some lovely looking bunnies, Chase looks great jont. No photos of Reggae, also a houserabbit.

Satsoma – I have found mine easy to look after – Reggae was quite destructive in the house though, depends if you plan to keep outside in a hutch or not. He chewed doors, carpets and cables. When I get another rabbit, it'll be a large breed, French lop – like Levi? – as they are well suited to being kept indoors and very chilled out (I heard!) Ideally also need access to a garden to run around in.

See Anna said they would chew doors carpets and cables! See told you so!

Thanks annabananna, I'm not sure whether I'd like to keep it outdoors or indoors…I'd be worried about the foxes getting it if we kept it outdoors and wouldn't want to make it stay in the shed.

The rabbits in this thread are gorgeous!

We kept ours outside and didn't have any of them eaten by foxes, we did however install proper bolts on the hutches (not the crappy wooden latches that they come with that foxes can undo), and sturdy home made runs that also had fox-proof latches. It was pretty funny to see the rabbit nose to nose with a fox through the wire once it worked out the fox couldn't get it…

We currently keep my daughter's rabbit "tigger" indoors. He gets free run of the dining area. Only problem is he's started to run round and round our feet making funny little noises and gets very excited by a pair of novelty slippers (with ears). Recently he's started to deposit sex wee and leave the odd dropping here or there.

Mine lived indoors, going outside in a run in the summer during the day. He was never locked in, having free run of the downstairs. He used to chase the dog and cat around as well, but loved to sit by your feet chewing his teeth.

Stuart (geddit?):

Sadly running with frith now. 😥

**** me … broke a leg and you have to put it down? How convenient.

Next time if you have some illness you should should be put down too.

😈

Cheers chewkw – it was the vet's decision ultimately as he said there was no good way of treating the break. Now f*ck off back to your cave.

satsoma – leelovesbikestoo had a good thread on how to keep a house rabbit as he needed come tips and convincing.

Lives in the house but roams the garden frequently.

How about other pets?

Here is Marlona Bronson

here she is trying to have a hug

and a new member of the household

and a quick snap of Brenda

Socks and Lottie, lottie was a bloke Rabbit though, now having a nice long sleep under a big old tree stump (mystery death) and we have a fluffy white thing called Pearl as a new addition.

Slurged on a nice new cage with a run for them too, the old ones seemed cruel.

House bunnie, so how do they get on with having a poo? Can you get them to use litter trays?

With Stuart we let him loose in the house, and where ever he went to the toilet we put down a litter tray. They tend to go in about 5 or 6 different locations. After a month we started to remove the trays one by one, and he soon got the idea untill we ended up with only one tray. After a while he didn't even use that one, prefering to go in his cage.

Initialy he did chew the wall a bit, but we started to put out old toilet rolls for him and he'd chew those instead. When he went out in the garden it was either in a run that we had made for him, or on a lead. He's now burried near the cherry tree that he liked to sit under. Unfortunatly he had a mysterious fit one day and died in my wife's arms.

We've got two bunnies that have the run of the garden. They've got a hutch but they're never locked up.
