Marie, I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your bun!


Ravyn, I LOOOOOOVE the picture of Piglet as a little baby! HOW SWEET!!!

Now I want a bunny! I was looking at them at the Pet Food Center the other day, wishful thinking, but I don't think I could get one since I still live with my parents and I already have a cat, ferret, and they have a dog. And, I donated Noodle's (My ferret) old cage to the humane society. They use those kind of bigger cages for their rabbits there...woulda been perfect, huh?

A stray bunny? Cheez! She wouldn't of lasted 12 hours here. Sunny (DH) scares up LadyHawke out of the field every morning when he opens the door to the shop to get his bike out. The wild ones are fairly savvy. I had a cottontail just a couple of days ago grazing on (I guess) the clover by our outbuilding. As long as they stay away from my tomatoes they're welcome

Bearcat: My bunny actually lives at my mothers, she is here so my cat and bunny wont be lonely while we are on holidays. also because my parents are going away for longer so this is why i have my bunny here, i live in a tiny appartment and i cant afford to have her living here permanently.
Because every 2 - 3 weeks she has to get her teeth cut, our vet said it wasnt necessary to spay her so we havent.
she doesnt do bad toilet stuff at my mothers, so i guess its because the cat has really stressed her out by trying to play with her.

This is peanut Butter (peanut for short)
and her brother Coda when they were smaller


All grown up! (well half way there). Both were unwanted babies that I was going to re-home but fell in love with.


This is mother and daughter and their babies. Was pretty Cool, both rabbits had their babies on the same day in the same box. Combined i had 13 little albino babies running around!

Some of the lucky 13 when they were little.

Ill have to take some more photos today when the sun is out. Some of them are more yard bunnies, they arent as friendly as my house trained pets, but ill try get their photos.

Fwan: Well that makes sense. Bunny being in a new enviroment for her would mess with her litter habits. However, about now spaying her.... I would highly recommed that you do. Even if she is never around a male bun in her life the benefits of spaying are tremendous. Most notably it eliminates the worry of ovarian cancer which is extremely common in female rabbits. (something like 90% of non-spayed rabbits develop reproductive system cancer... I don't have the exact data on hand but will try to hunt it down for ya) So it basically increases your rabbits life span from 2-4 year to 10-12 years.

Also, many rabbits "chill out" after getting spayed/neutered and the horrible habit of spraying either stops completely or is reduced greatly.

Like I said I will search for some hard data for you in the next day or two. Or one of the many other bunny owners may have something on hand.

So, yes, spaying may not be necessary for Bunny but it would benefit her life greatly.

1 day old. A sea of pink skin and white fur that the mums line the nest with


About 2-3 weeks old here




About 4-5 weeks


7-8 weeks, with one of the mummys

Most of my bunnies arent an actual 'breed', just ordinary bunnies

I love Albino bunnies, they are my absolute favourite


I use to breed the bunnies every now and then, maybe 1 or 2 litters a year and that was all. Theres too many bunnys needing homes as it is, without making too many more! I mainly rescue, foster and rehome bunnies now.

The litters were half accidental. I only meant for one of them to get pregnant, but dont ask how the other one ended up preggers too lol! I had no idea she was pregnant until the day she had the babies.

I always wanted albino babies but out of all the litters I never got any! Then one day I was given a beautiful large male bunny (Zeus) who i couldnt find a home for, so ended up keeping him. Even though he wasnt albino, or a flop, it was worth a shot and I got 13 little bubbies. All were albino, but only 10 of them got flopped ears.
Was so nice to go out in the morning to be greeted by all the little white faces waiting for their breakfast

How do cats and bunnies get along? Does it depend on the temperament of both? I'd be interested in getting smaller pets like a bunny or a bird, but am a bit hesitant because I don't know if my cats' predatory instincts would kick in... Mik is laid back, but Lex might hassle a smaller animal a bit too much.

My cat Blossom gets along with only a few of my bunnies. It really does depend on the temperament of them both. As blossom has got older and less active, shes become better friends with some of them. I would never leave her with them unsupervised though. She does like to play and she gives the younger bunnys a nudge, and i dont want her being too rough with them.
She gets along best with my oldest bunny Meeko, whos about 12. She also gets along with my big bunnys as they are slow and dont move much.
It took her a while to get use to them though, we just let her get to know them through the cage then introduced them gradually out of the cage.

Heres some photos i took just before of Blossom and Meeko on their morning walk outside together

Awwww, Blossom and Meeko peacefully coexisting!


That's good to know. Actually, I had a neighbour once who had a bunny, and Mik did well with her... It's Lex, my younger cat that I'm worried about.
He's quite the little hunter.

This is just way too much cuteness. It should be outlawed! Ok, maybe not, but those baby bunnies are just waaaay too cute!!

My cats are afraid of Babs and Babs likes to follow them around everywhere. She also enjoys sniffing them. It's really kinda funny.
