Yes, I went a little crazy and have 5 house rabbits. No they don't get outside except as a special treat. I live in a townhouse, which is like 4 apartments that are attached to each other, so I don't really have a back yard. I can set up a folding pen for them and must sit with them to guard against neighborhood kids and other animals. I would love to be able to leave them out more but I'm just not comfortable with it. I would love to move so that they could be out more.....maybe someday. I think if I had a bigger place I would have more than the 5....not sure if that's good or bad.
I have 3 boys and 2 girls. On the first floor, Velvet and Robbie (the boys) live with Miss Emma and Chocolate Bunny. Velvet and Miss Emma are neatherland lops, about 6 lbs each. Chocolate is a gorgeous Rex girl also about 6 lbs and Robbie is a netherland drawf(I think) boy as he is slightly smaller that the others. Mr. Daisy is also a netherland lop who is a brat and has been basished to the 2nd floor. He's also about 6 lbs. He is VERY jealousof the others and will not get along with them. Yes, he has a female name...the vet originally told me he was a she until neutering day came, surprise! By that time it was too late to change his name, except to add the Mr. I tried to get him a wife but he didn't like her either. He's so bad that if he smells that I've been with another bunny he'll take a nip at me to show his disapproval that I have not been faithful and true to him. So I end up (if I remember) making like a doctor and washing my hands before I go in to play with him. Such a nuisance. But really, he is very lovable in spite of this little personality quirk.
No, no babies here...Everybody is neutered! As cute as baby bunnies are there are just too many homeless ones and I don't want to contribute to the problem. Besides I work out at the bunny sanctuary 2 days/week and once in a while we end up with a rescued pregnant mom so I can get my baby fix out there.
I would love to post their pictures but I don't have a computer at home or access to a scanner.
So I get my bunny fixes from POTD and rescue/sanctuary work.
Actually I don't think it's unusual for boys to get along with boys....are they neutered? You might want to consider that. Boys like to spray and they can get aggressive as they get older expecially if they are deprived of a mate. We have several same-sex pairs of buns at the sanctuary, some of the closest pairs are boys.
I gather it's really not all that unusual.
Well, I've given you WAY more info than I'm sure you wanted...but it is so much fun to share bunny stories!![]()
You haven't mentined Bunny lately. How is she and what is she up to?
