Rampant Rabbit

[Jane Smart]

You share your rabbit with your daughter?

And BK hope that your rabbit has settled down a bit now, maybe he is just excited about Santa.

You brought him when it started getting cold, didn't you? Let me guess...the kids badgered you and you felt sorry for the bunny outside on his own. Am I right?

Mine only got to come in because it's so cold, and he's an only bunny. As soon as it gets back above freezing again (-4 tonight), he's back out.

Nope, it was Jane that wanted him inside so I ended up building the bunny condo. He lives in the lounge now and gets out inside a fair bit, we also have his external run set up in part of the garage. Jane is now making noises about him needing a buddy so, if it's a girl, neutering is a must. Still it's removed the demands for one of those little toy dogs, which is a relief Plan for the Spring is to build a much bigger external run with the outdoor hutch inside it. So that he/they can be left outside all day and just come in at night. We are talking one seriously spoiled bunny here

My rabbit is 10 years old and has stayed outside every winter... they are hardier then you think....

Had his first taste of snow today, with a heated towel waiting for his little paws when he came in

Sod the rabbit - I need to train the wife!

I would never keep a solitary rabbit, they need company. If you've got a male you could get another male or a female. The females are the dominant ones and far more likely to fight.

Rabbits are very territorial though so if you get a new rabbit there will almost certainly be some agro to begin with. As long as they don't rip the ears off each other don't worry, it'll soon settle down.

In what way?

I thought this was going to be about a battery operated 'device', and was pleased to see it is actually about physically maiming a male rabbit's genitalia.

It worked though, didn't it?

So true. Didn't know that when I got the poor thing from the idiot "breeder" who sold him to me. (This cretin had allowed two rabbits who should never have bred together, get together and produce 8 babies... and he couldnt let the females go because he couldn't be sure they weren't already pregnant, ffs! My thinking was that being a bit lonely might be a better deal for my bunny than staying with that idiot.)

My plan is to get him done after Christmas, and then when he's over that, to get him bonded to a spayed rescue doe.And hopefully live happily ever after.

yeah, knowing Wigsie he probably had a whole 'different' set of photos ready to share
