Waiting for this madness to end.

show us yours!
 
there's a rabbit which lives up the road. he/she hangs out in people's front yards. no one claims him. the people just leave him be to eat grass.
:(

he doesn't even have a hutch or anything. i'm *this* close to buying a hutch...
 
I don't have any rabbits, but I did in high school. First, my friend's cat was killing a baby cottontail so I took it out of his mouth and raised it until it would eat greens. I let it go in a big cemetery and it just sat there munching.

The wee-buns (about the size of your index finger)

Then, we bought a brown lop to share and they said it was a dwarf, but it ended up getting HUGE. Like 25-30 lbs huge. Eventually, my friend's mom took it to her small co-op farm for their mini petting zoo b/c it outgrew every hutch we built. We called it Peppy b/c it looked like ground pepper.

My ex-housemate got rabbits when I still lived with her this past summer. She was jealous of me and my other friend's four cats, but she likes small critters. They are dwarf Dutch, Brooklyn (girl) and Benjamin. They used to go outside until we found mites on Brooklyn, so now they are house trained indoors. They're both 'fixed' and microchipped. A rabbit is no less of a pet than a cat or dog.

I don't have a pic of Benny, but he looks the same, just a little lighter brown.

They are terribly cute. We have a litter of buns at the Humane Society right now.

However, they're a LOT of work, moreso than cats, IMO. They are much harder to litter train than cats (who don't really need training). They're also really sensitive to a lot of things, so you've got to be careful with their diets, make sure they don't get scared or frightened, clean their hutches all the time, check for parasites (if they go outside), etc. Most people just shut them in a hutch all the time, but just like other pets they really deserve attention so that they aren't frightened of humans all their lives, and they also need to see a vet regularly just like other pets.
 
Those bunnies are adorable. We have a lionhead rabbit and she is just the cutest thing. Although she does seem to grunt quite a bit.

Will have to look for a pic of her and see if I can post it.
