Welcome anitastark!  Now your entered into the drawing twice.  Good Luck!

The whole "house rabbit" thing really is relatively new, at least in comparison to cats and dogs.    It seems most people who had rabbits when they were young remember them being outside (and many times not living more than four years)   Because of the House Rabbit Society, and other rabbit education groups, things have really changed just in the  last 10 years.

I'm sorry to hear about your cat.   Sounds like she lived a LONG wonderful life with you though.

It's great to start small and not give too much freedom right away,  otherwise your house may become a poop kingdom.   Gradually allow freedom once he's been litter trained.

And you may get lucky, your bunny may love to be cuddled when he gets older.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.  Otherwise, he'll still want to snuggle with you on the ground.  Most still want to at least snuggle that way.

Also, a great thing about rabbits is that their schedule really is conducive to most working schedules.  They are up in the am, and then they lounge and sleep until dusk, about the time when many people get home from work.    They can also be flexible, many are able to change their own patterns to our schedule.

So no worries,  she'll be happy to see you when you get home, and you'll still get see her crazy antics.

Welcome sekaoneima!   Wow, what a sad story. 

Looks like you are doing the right thing by researching and searching for answers so that doesn't happen again.  

Since you posted this information over in the behavior section (thank you), then I'll head over there and answer in that section.  See ya there! 

Hello!  My name is Julie, and I have two very grouchy little buns!  The grouchiness is just temporary – they're shedding at the moment.

Quick – she's six and a half, and a Netherlands dwarf.  Despite her size, she's the boss of the house, and willing to prove it at any time!

Hi am I too late to dance??

We have 2 roughly 12 week old babies, not sure what breed they are, just that they are dwarf lop sisters, and were in the same pen when we bought them.  Although they do not look at all alike and i'm actually wondering if thier sisters at all, anyway Booboo is black and white and a real nosey parker, she is into EVERYTHING, not at all scared to explore.  She likes to binky for a while, then run around the room 3 or 4 times and then zonk out panting.  Mable just sits and watches while she munches in her litter tray, she gets exhausted just watching Booboo! and thats Mable to a tee, eats, sleeps and poops for england!!  But we have to keep an eye on her, if any theres any naughtyness to be had it'll be Mable that'll be doing it!

They love each other very much and are always rolling on each other x

They are our 2nd experience with house rabbits, We recently lost our original bunny Missy, (bunny heaven-not misplaced) and the house seemed so empty, so we decided to give a home to two bunnies.

Missy left a massive hole, but she was such a loveable, sweet and fun bun that we couldn't not have rabbits living with us!  They are so underestimated!!  Great site by the way!

my girlfriend and i got our first bunny a couple weeks ago and we love it.

we named her plop. she is an adorable lop. she is very lazy and curious.

i did a small amount of research before bringing her home, but perhaps i should have read a bit more. i didn't know that you shouldn't let them wander until they were litter trained. she is good about using the litter box while in her cage, but when she is out of her cage i cannot keep her from going on the couch. if i catch her in the act and put her in the litter box, she usually will finish in the litter box, but she still prefers the couch. any suggestions?

i'm an avid videogamer and so i have cords all over, but she has never chewed a single one. she is still very young and i would assume if she dosn't chew them now, she won't later. is this a wrong assumption?
