A question for the bunny people

[Misty_Pearl]

Hello, I am going to in the future add a bunnage to my family. I am unsure which breed I am wanting. My only requirement is that I want it to be a very long lived bunny and I want to litter box train so the bunny can be out in the house and not in a cage.

I am sure someone will be able to give me suggestions and I also wouldn't mind seeing current pictures of everyones bunny and the breed of said bunny.

Thanks all.

Thank, that is a place to start. I always research a new animal for at least a year before I ever add it to my home. The only exception to this was Zorro (raccoon). He was a spur of the moment purchase - and my house has suffered tremendously for it!~

Well I think lop eared bunnies for the most part seem to be very nice. And darf bunnies are more aggressive but it really depends on the rabbit itself... I have a darf and a mixed breed and my mix breed is friendly. I also have another mix breed female and she uses a litter box or atleast she used to. Im sure you could train any to use a litter box but you need to spend alot of time with them.

See http://rabbit.org for lots of info.

ANY rabbit can be litterbox trained.

ANY rabbit can be pretty long-lived, depending on the care he or she receives, and if s/he gets spayed/neutered.

I wouldn't worry so much about breed per se, but do your research about rabbits, then look in the shelters and see who captures your heart!

I agree with all the said above. Most all breeds of bunny have about the same lifespan. Most bunnies I've known have all lived between 6-10 years old, some even longer. And here is a pic of my bunny, she is a dwarf rabbit, I don't really know what breeds are in her though since I got her from a pet store, she is a mixed, and she is littered trained
