Mr. Bunny used to do huge, impressive binkies where he flung himself high in the high while twisting and turning his shoulders and head... But then he had a terrible accident where he did that directly into a wall - so hard I was afraid he broke something.  After doing literally no binkies for about 8 months, he just recently cautiously started doing binkies again...but now, he makes sure that he's not near a wall, and then he just takes a huge hop where he wiggles his shoulders and tail.  How many inches/cm long are your bunn(ies)'s ears? |

From the crown of the head, Hannah's are 4.5" each and Otto's are 4" each. I got some weird looks when I came at them with a tape measure! lol
Has your bunny ever stolen any human food? What was it? Did they like it? |

Ah.. well, ChaCha doesn't bother with human foods. I mean, when I first got her and had her for 2 weeks - my bf and I got teriyaki and she was in her cage at the time. She look very curious and her nose went twitching like crazy lol.
I had a can of Pepsi on the living room floor and I wasn't looking at it at the time and she went to lick the top of the can T____T I freaked out! It was my fault.
Otherwise, she just licks the evaporation from my drinks 
How often do you groom your bun(s)? What is their reaction to being groomed?  |

As little as possible! Haha. I only brush Otto when he's shedding and he hates it. I end up locking him in the cage and putting my arm in from the top and chasing him around with the brush. I try to pull of tufts when he's out and about, but he's not appreciative of that either.
Hannah actually enjoys it, but she hasn't really started a shed in the time I've had her, so I've only brushed her a few times.
What's the best way to trim your bun's nails? Burrito? Trance? Or are they so good that they just sit there while you give them a manicure? |

Usually, I have to both trance and burrito Mr. Bunny, since he hates having his feet touched and trances very lightly. I usually have to do it in two or three sittings too, since I can never keep him tranced more than a minute or two.
Have you ever licked your rabbit? If so, what was their reaction? |

Lol, I have never licked my bunnies! I have given them kisses on the head and nuzzle their noses though which they seem to appreciate!
What made you first decide to get a bunny? And how did you choose him/her? |

I got a bunny since we couldn't have a dog - we're still in an apartment, and at the time I was traveling every week for work. We're not cat people (and I'm allergic) so I started researching other pets and settled on rabbits. I really wanted a holland lop, so I found a local breeder and got one from her. I thought I got first choice of broken colored boy buns, but apparently someone else got to pick before me. Otto was actually my last choice, based on the pictures :-o How silly of me! Obviously he's the cutest rabbit in the world :-P
Do you collect bunny decorations/statues/pictures now that you have a bunny? |

I collect by default, that is everyone is always giving me bunny stuff!
What is your favorite bunny color? |
|
My Bunny Burrow is full! Pringles & Toby, Daisy & Lola, and my senior citizens Hershey & Simba.
The piggies are back, add Brownie and Sweetpea to the mix. |

Oh, hard choice. I like fawns and steels a lot. I can tell you white is my least favorite pretty easily.
How did you pick your specific bun/s? Was it the way they acted? Their appearance? Whether they'd bond to your others or not? |

I was first attracted to Sully by his looks (bad I know!) but I loved the broken cream colouring. Anyways, I went to meet him and fell in love with him. He was a love bug and was calm and easy to handle. I was originally looking for a girl when I found Frankie. The lady only had Frankie left and kept telling me how wonderful he was so I decided to take him! I am glad I did too!
Also, my favourite colour right now is the sable points and smoke pearls... i just think they are gorgeous!
How do your friends/relatives react to you having bunnies? Do they understand keeping bunnies as pets or do they think you're crazy? Most people I know don't really know anything about bunnies and don't understand what great house pets they can be. |

Reply to fluffy bunny... that was my next question.. i was curious about that... i do! i groom hershey and twix wont let my bring my face close enough to.. im not allowed to just give hershey nose rubs anymore... so i suggest not starting...
my mom hates it, she doesnt belive they make good pets.. :S oh and her boyfriend wants to eat them.
and i love siamese sables (its how i got hershey and twix, by colour i know im bad)
If bunnies could come in dog size (like a bit bigger than flemmies) and could be house trained easier.. would you get one? |

And In My Attempted Un-selfish Thoughts I Find Myself Thinking... If This Is The Best I Can Do With Just My Thoughts, Than What Is The Best That Can Be Done By Someone Who Has Not Only my Thoughts But The Chance To Make Them A Reality? |

I actually like the fact that bunnies are small! Makes it easier to have more!! haha jk, but really, I am around big dogs and big horses all day, it's nice to have my little bunnies to chill out on the floor with. It's also nice for apartment dwellers who can't have dogs. And imagine the michief they would get into if they were dog size! Haha, imagine a german shepherd size rabbit doing binkies across your living room! Destruction!
Next question: If you had to move across the country, would you take your bunnies with you? |

Depends on the bunny's personality, if he/she has a nice personality then OH YEA!
Has your bunny ever escaped from his/her cage and given you a big surprise? |

Yes! Frankie is a little Houdini! He frequently jumps out of his pen and one day I walked into the room and he had peed and pooped all over the floor! He hopped up to me innocently as if to say "Wasn't me mom!" lol He's also jumped into Sully's pen (they aren't bonded) and thankfully no fighting happened.
Are your bunnies harness/leash trained? If so, how did you do it? If not, how come? |

Waaaahhhhhh!!!!!
I hit the reply button instead of send and lost my reply to "do you like red eyes?"
I love them. Especially red eyed whites (REWs). I had an albino guinea pig as a teenager. Named "Harvey", after the movie about the Pooka. Here is a pix of a Pooka with Jimmy Stewart:
 Which also answers how I would feel about a dog-sized bunny: I want a Pooka, dogs are too small. 
What was the question? Oh - no harness. Ever. Spockie was in a panic only once,and that was half way into a harness.
Which would you rather have, a painting of your bunny(s), a photograph, or a printed T-Shirt? |

It's easy enough for me to get photos, since my Mom loves taking bunny pics and has an amazing camera...and I dislike printed tshirts (ignore the fact that I'm wearing one now ), so I'd have to say the painting.  What do you plan to do when the unfortunate time comes of your bunny passing away, such as memorials, etc? |

My first bunny, Little Sugar, was cremated and I have her ashes in a little carved wooden box on one of my shelves next to a photo of her and the candle I burned for her while I was grieving. I plan to do the same for my other bunnies. I know some people think keeping the ashes is creepy, but it's comforting to me, I know she's not there anymore. Unless I point it out to a visitor, no one notices.
Is your bunny a picky eater? |

I plan to make pillows from fur I brushed from them, and put them on my mantle so I have a piece of them forever. I'll also have them cremated so I don't have to worry about burying them and then moving someday. If you were a bunny, what kind of bunny mate would you pick? For instance, if you were my Monkey, would you pick the shy dutch man, or the scared or death orange guy? |

No, he truly isn't. There's been no food that he's ever tried that he wouldn't eat.
EDIT: Whoops, took to long to post - MB, I'd pick out my own bunny as my bonded mate...as long as I wasn't smaller than him...lol
I plan to get my bun cremated and then get a little hollow rabbit figurine that looks like him to put the ashes in...I've always thought that that would be a cute way to remember a bunny.
Does your bunny tolerate having his/her tail touched?

I think that Samantha is picking up being picky habits from me. I haven't met a man yet that I married and I think my Sammy is a similar diva.
But if I had to marry a bunny, it would be a Mini-Rex who was velvety soft and sweet and social like Spockie. And maybe a white one that complimented me (if I were Monkey) so we'd be Yin/Yang when we cuddled.
I think someone asked this, but if you could talk, what would you love to tell your slave about her/himself? |

He's not a big chewer, so I can't think of anything exceptionally strange. But the buns my parents had before I was born chewed mom's ice skates so much they became low tops.
Have you ever accidentally worn hay after feeding your buns? |

I once was brushing my hair and a piece of hay fell out. Does that count?
Have you ever had a dream about bunnies? What happened in the dream? |

No bunny dreams :-( At least not any that I can remember.
I did have a dream about my gerbils years ago that I can share instead. I was on a medicine (prednisone) that gives me super weird and vivid dreams. One night I dreamt that the gerbils lived in the bathtub - a bathtub full of water. The adults lived on the bottom and just walked around. They also had babies, little pink ones with no fur yet, that floated on top, doing the backstroke. LOL I still remember that dream, probably 15 years later.
What's the story behind your bunny's name? |

I'm going to break the game rules and post a link about a crazy bunny dream I had over a year ago...
http://www.binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/aff/6/aft/96786/afv/topic/Default.aspx
It was nuts... since Elrohwen didn't have a good one to share...
Max is Max b/c I liked the name and wanted something one syllable that started with an M.
Meadow is named after Meadow Soprano from the HBO series "The Sopranos". The show had ended shortly before we adopted her, and there was just something about those big brown eyes.
If a bunny was dropped off on your doorstep tomorrow, would you keep it without hesitation or would you try and find it a new home?
(kralspace, you can't answer this... lol) |

Meadow.....

Heehee. Touche! I should avoid answering questions I don't have a good answer for, but that gerbil dream popped into my head and I felt the need to share :-P
Your dream is hilarious though.
eta: I always wondered if that's how Meadow got her name! I love that show. |

Most people assume it's from the connotation of sweet bunny hopping thru a lush, green Meadow...
Nope. She reminded me of a mobster's kid.  |
