Me being mauled by a horrific monster. (pic)

:rofl:

The bones, man, the bones! Bring the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

That was about ten years ago.

PS: note the chicken wire stapled to the gate. The rabbit kept biting off the plastic fence. The rabbit's name was Jasper T. Rabbit and was a mixed dwarf.

7. No, he tried to make nesting material out of my socks.

And he cut off my internet connection. One bite and the phone line and the rabbit-proof cord-wrap were history. Munch!

6. Your bun could be my bun's twin!

Do you have any idea what kind of bunny yours is? We have ours because it just showed up in our yard one day, and I've never been able to figure out what kind of "breed/s" it is.

Oh, wait, on edit I have read your OP more carefully and I see you said "mixed dwarf." :hi:

8. That is very cute.

:)

I've never had a rabbit as a pet. Is it easy or difficult, or just different?

[Deep13]

10. Different.

Being an prey animal, its habits are really different than a dog or a cat. They eat constantly, usually hay. They are box trained by keeping them confined. Apparently, they naturally set aside part of their warrens for waste. And they don't mind being confined, but will explore whatever space they have. (Explore = find stuff to eat.) Rabbits raised around people will interact with us, but will instantly forget what they were doing if you leave the room. If given some room, they will run around and flip their feet in the air. The one in the picture would come out of his room to get my attention to get me to chase him. So, I would follow him back to his rabbit house.* Then the rabbit would come after me again to get me to chase him again.

The main thing with rabbits is keeping them clean which is not hard since their dropping are small pellets and they will use the box if confined. The hard part is they make a LOT of droppings. Rabbits are basically machines that convert plants into droppings and make more rabbits. They will live together especially if they are fixed. If an object fits in their mouths, it will get eaten. Wires have to be wrapped in plastic tubing bigger than the rabbit's bite. Otherwise, they are pretty low-maintanence. The only thing one has to keep in mind is that they do not live very long. Eight years is a good run for an indoor rabbit. They have very little resilliance to disease. The first sign of illness may already be too late if they get sick. Apparently, evolution has made them to be replaced, not repaired.

*My wife was home sick one day and got bored. She took some boxes and a bit of Sonotube and built a multi-level Habital out of cardboard and masking tape. The rabbits eventually ate it, of course, but it took them a long time.
