› Forum › THE LOUNGE › You know you are obsessed with your bun(s) if..
This thread is just made to have fun and laugh :p
I will start..
You know you are obsessed with your bun(s) if..
– Your whole christmas list is stuff you want for them
– Your (keyword being your) room is being taken over by them.
Your turn remember, this is just to mess around and have a couple laughs. Be creative.
If you have the Fedex driver’s personal cell phone number so that when he hasn’t shown up on your scheduled Binky Bunny order delivery day , you can call him before quitting time to make sure he’s still coming …..!
(I know it sounds a little creepy, but he’s a really nice guy and knows how excited I get when I have bunny stuff coming!)
Haha, that’s amazing XD I have never ordered anything from BB (yet), I always get everything on Amazon. (Amazon is life.)
– BinkyBunny.com is officially your homepage.
(I double posted.. Oops.)
– If your living room looks like a hay barn because your hubby hasn’t gotten around to putting A/C in the storage room and you *need* fresh hay for the bunnies more than you need a formal living room.
– If you move your son out of the big bedroom and into the small bedroom because the bunnies need more room to play.
– If you freak out when your hubby reaches for the green leaf lettuce to make a sandwich — that’s for bunny salads!
– If you whip out pictures of your bunnies when everyone else is whipping out pictures of their children and grandchildren.
– If you find yourself in a conversation with your hubby about the day’s litterbox contents and you both consider this normal.
I could go on and on!
When you have at least one bunny living in every room of the house! We still have the bathroom and kitchen available, just in case lol
When you give your bunnies personality profiles. Like Bruno is the matriarch in the Warren. Harley is a little punk who’s only weakness is Bruno. Roxie is a big black and beautiful diva and Caesar is her patientand slightly dumb assistant. Hazel would be the hyper, slightly quirky girl in school with bif glasses. Obie is the kinda boy all the girls want, but he’s to naive to notice. And biscuit is the sweet little girl working very hard to win Obies attention.
XD “that’s for bunny salads”, nice JR. And I always show pictures of my bunny.. Like “do you want to see Midas”
“No.. You’ve showed us pictures already..” :p. The personality profiles made me lol BM
My best friend says we’re the Duggars of bunny parents. If you didn’t know, the Duggars are a family in the states who have 19 kids and keep trying for more. They have a tv show called 19 and counting.
BM — so you only have, what, 12 more to go? Hope the kitchen and bathroom are really big!
When, while walking around the house, you spy a bunny poop and just kick it casually towards the direction of the litterbox instead of freaking out about the fact that an animal has shat on your floor… LOL.
Aeyja — and the nice thing about bunny poop is you can do that and not come away with any of it on your foot!
(You know you’re obsessed if . . . you can find something nice about bunny poop . . . !)
BM Oh my gosh! YES! I’m so glad that I’m not the only one! I thought I was totally nuts by giving the buns personality profiles. XD But it just SO fits them.
-You stop eating salads with dressing so you can share them with the buns.
-You have a separate section of your monthly budget just for bunny toys.
-All the cashiers at the grocery store can tell when you’re buying food for yourself or the buns.
BB — Oh the grocery store! Every week I get asked if I’m having a party! (Would be an interesting party …. a cart full of greens and one frozen pizza!)
JR Hahaha! =p It would have to be one of those juicing parties. >.< Which doesn't sound yummy. I would take the pizza any day.
-When your bunny is more important than your friends
-You find yourself canceling doctors appointments to make plans for a vet appointment..
You know you are obsessed with your bunny when she sits on your chest while you are napping, and later you realize that she sat there to $*&!…but you are still glad that she sat on you anyways, even if it was for a moment ^_^ (my bunny doesn’t usually rests on me for more than a second )
When you start arranging rooms by what would allow buns access to all their favorite areas, not by how furniture is meant to look
When you find yourself stopping everything to watch and time sneezes and note their position, any time you hear even the smallest one
When every order online at stores like walmart / amazon has to have at least one bunny toy as an add-on
When your room is too cold for your liking, because the buns like it cool
when you realise you have a second carpet on top of your first comprised of hay..
When the second most important factor in choosing a new house to move into is free-range-bunny suitability (the first of course being how long we would be able to fend off zombies and survive),
Aeyja- I agree! Lol
When your bunny chews up your shoes (or shoe strings), your furniture, your clothes, etc., or has ever helped himself/herself to non-bunny items (including your sodas!), and its just too cute not to take a picture of that innocent face and post it on BB!!!!!!
(Gotcha!!! You guys know who you are!!! LOL!!!!)
Aeyja- I totally agree!
When the floor has little land mines and you just step around them til you have time to sweep later.
Every time you go to a store that sells pet supplies, you have to stand in the “small pets” aisle for 20 minutes oogling all the cute toys and treats.
You get excited every holiday when they sell “bunny outfits” and you dreamof holding a bunny pageant.
hehe I can relate to a lot of this. hehe
When you put in brand new carpet into a room and decorate it just for the rabbits who in a matter of moments start to dig up the brand new carpet you put in for them. You think its okay I can go buy more in the future because you got a good price on it.
When your all your bedding resembles Swiss cheese.
When you’ve considered laying a 10 metre tunnel down in the house so buns can go from area A to area B without detours. By tunnel I mean similar to those cat tunnels.
Jersey, that sounds amazing!
A rabbitfied version of this, jersey?
http://inthralld.com/2014/02/california-cat-house-boasts-custom-tunnels-paths/
When you find balls of fluff EVERYWHERE and learn to accept it. (They make great bookmarks ) My bun is an angora, so trust me, (extremely soft) fluff everywhere!
Lol bookmarks. Moxie you’ve not only accepted it, you’ve utilized it.
MissGabster- that is cool! Wonder why when I saw that, I thought of Roberta? I have a feeling she would covet that house.
JackRabbit- I had a 7m tunnel I used to get out for Jersey and Rumball! It was flexible air conditioner ducting.
I regret the day I threw it out.
When EVERY single store you enter MUST have something for your rabbit or to improve your rabbits life!
We just had a floor installation guy come over to give us a quote on a new floor for the kitchen and rabbit room. He seemed a bit weirded out how I was very concerned about the glue smell in the rabbit room and how long it would last. Bunnies have sensitive noses….geeez….Don’t look at me like I’m some sort of nut bar!
When you own this:
And this:
And these:
And have been known to wear all three at once
When all your pictures have bunny butts in them…
Such a cute bunny butt
I had my baby shower a few weeks ago and most of what I got is bunny themed! I’m the rabbit lady….if you know me, you know that! Got some really cute stuff. I’m also doing the nursery Peter Rabbit. And I’ve been buying books to build my daughter a library and if I come across a bunny themed one I can’t not buy it. Sure hope she likes bunnies!!!!! But seriously, how could you live with Bindi Loo and not just adore them…..
LPT!!! How far are you off from your due date?
When every pair of shoes has a fringe and you wear them anyway
That tshirt is awesome haha!
LPT – kinda cool to say “my daughter” isn’t it?! I’m sure she will love bunnies — pretty sure that gets passed on in dna!
Aeyja – but . . . there aren’t any chew holes in them!
Awesome shirt JG, it is missing a few holes and shreds… I am sure our buns will fix that though haha
You know youre obsessed with bunnies if buying things for them give you the same thrill as buying things for yourself!
or if you spend all day working on projects for them instead of doing something productive (who needs clean cloths and homework to be done?)
Jersey- 6 Weeks!!!!
When you still love your bunny that you don’t like!
(Yes, I’m having a bad Henry day!) Lol!
LPT — that is so exciting! Only 6 more weeks! Hope you’re getting your nest ready!

When you still love your bunny that you don’t like!(Yes, I’m having a bad Henry day!) Lol!
What did he destroy today??
Ha ha ha ha ha Flabebe! It would be quicker to say what he HASN’T destroyed! Or gotten into today.
Honestly, he has ADHD days – he soooo reminds me of my youngest son! And today just happens to be one of ‘those days’! Sigh…..
Oh gosh, hope you have something left to keep your sanity in tact
You may be obsessed when you throw in random bunny facts into your conversations with bunny-free friends. I love the blank stare with crickets chirping look they give you.
Or when someone mentions a bunny who needs a home and before they finish their sentence they firmly tell you “no, it’s not coming to live with you” lol
Or when you look up bunny related facts simply cause it’s interesting and then use it in your academic discussions. (You bet your bum I’m going to talk about rabbit markings in my bio class when we get to genetics)
Another one . . . If, on the rare occasion that your bunny flops beside you and allows extended pets, you continue to pet the bunny long after your arm has gone to sleep because you don’t know when you’ll be allowed to do this again!
JR – a bit of an add-on to yours – when you are late for work/uni because your bun *allowed* you to pet them and you couldn’t just say no
Another ad on!
Or when you have someone else in the house (Partner, parent, roommate, ect.) look after and corral the bun because you had too much fun petting and playing with the bun that you are about to be late to something.

Jersey- 6 Weeks!!!!
Eeeeeeeeee!

Ha. I’m guilty of this. So often I’ll segue convo into rabbit related stuff. It’s automatic. Luckily I have a group of friend (IRL) that are just as crazed so when we get together there’s no apology for going on about rabbits.
JR – I don’t have that problem. Powder lets me pet him whenever. Lol
Must be nice Stickerbunny! All of mine let me pet them and will climb on my back when I lay down, but only twice has Marlee laid down with me and let me *really* pet her — head pets, cheek and ear rubs, feet pets, back massages. Only twice this year! I actually have gotten a little worried both times that something may be wrong! I’m grateful though, anyone else tries more than a head pat and she runs away like “Aaahhh, he touched me!!!!”!!
JerseyGirl— Lol, I had to quickly set down a book once and that was the closest thing to stuff in the book so I wouldn’t lose my place. Well, somebody brought the book back to the library before I was finished with it (my mom I think), and that day I was at the library. I see the book on the shelf to be put in it’s rightful place and I’m like “Oh no!” I open the book and there was the ball of fluff! Nobody had opened the book or seen the the fluff. I don’t know how I would have explained that one to the librarian!
LPT— 6 weeks! Are you excited!
Let’s see, the other day I was swimming with a group of friends. We’re all hanging out, and of course something is mentioned that I can turn into an educational bunny related comment. I got a couple of weird looks from the guys in the group… I regret nothing! lol.
Moxie- Yes, I’m excited! And nervous!!! And very busy trying to get everything ready in time!
LPT—I hope everything goes well for you in the next couple of months!
This one of the side effects of my obsession with the buns. This is the purse I’m carrying right now. I found it when we went on vacation a couple months ago. I had to have it! Plus, its pretty small (just a clutch) so my husband can’t make me carry all his stuff! Hahaha!
That purse is adorable! *o*
BM— I love that purse!
Thanks!
You may be obsessed with your bunnies…..when you join a forum just to tell people how obsessed you are with your bunnies! Lol I was part of a different bun forum for awhile, but it got pretty quiet. Even the mods quit responding to posts. Eventually I went through winthdrawls and found BB.
BM— So true! Somebody I know found out I am on a website where we talk about buns(BB). I got weird looks that pretty much said “You’re crazy” Lol
Whenever I bring up rabbits to my friends, they all leave.. I need more rabbit loving friends XD.
Well at least the internet is a good place to find rabbit lovers
And the “youre crazy” looks have always followed me! I enjoy a wide range of “weird” hobbies including hoop-dance and was considering going to a holistic school, even. But it is good to be a bit weird!
You know your obsessed with buns if you want to fund a bun print for your hula hoops
You know you’re obsessed with buns when all the house fans are for the buns.
You know youre obsessed with buns if you take two hours extra time to do something because they keep distracting you with their cuteness
You know you’re obsessed with buns when you have to clean around them!
When you’re dusting and a bunny sits on your bare foot and you just stand there . . . and stand there . . . and stand there . . . and the dusting doesn’t get finished because the bunnies butt is so soft and fluffy and a bunny sitting on your foot is just too cute!
When you are talking with your friend on the phone, and they expect moments of silence from you because you are busy staring at your bun cuz it is just so cute.. Happens to me way to much.. They just know now that when I go silent, something with my bunny is happening.
Way too funny!
You know youre obsessed when interspecies relationships become a cute taunting game for you. ex. “OH Icarus (cat), do you miss your girlfriend, Lilac (Bun)??”
All the time! My dog loves Midas, and she whimpers when she can’t snuggle with him xD
Flabebe!!!!!!!! I hoop dance too!! *excited squeaks*
If you have sorted out which bun takes after who! Merlin is a mummas boy who likes sitting on my feet while hes eating dinner and only lets me stroke his ears, but Luna is definitely a daddys girl. My partner has been a drummer for abut ten years now, and Luna loves scrabbling on her upturned food dish to make drumming noises. That and they both love food XD
You know you’re obsessed with bunnies when every time somebody goes to the fridge you have to slap their hand and tell them that that’s for the buns!
XD add on to MM’s.
When your bunny stuff takes up more than half the fridge
^^^^ This so much. Ox’s veg takes up the entire bottom shelf of the fridge.
XD MG, right? Midas’s stuff takes up so much space..
When you don’t even care about how much hay is on your floor, and getting bunny poop stuck to your butt is a completely normal thing. (This is the story of my life, haha.)
When you’ve owned your bunny for well over a year and you still call out to everyone in the house to watch him……. ‘sleep’!
PS – Ha ha ha ha JR! That’s something I’d do – no wonder I get nothing done around here!
(and any excuse to get out of dusting????) Lol!
when this happens… Merlin was lying half out from under the bed, so all I could see was his bottom half. My partner walked in on me going ‘awww look at da widdle bunny butt! bunny butt! yes it is a bunny butt!!’
Partner stared at me as if I was bonkers…
Partner stared at me as if I was bonkers…
What is wrong with him?
Let him squishy that widdle bunny butt and he’ll be saying the same thing! Nooooobody can resist a bunny butt, and once you’ve squishied one, you must awww over and talk to every one!
Bunny butts are the cutest, especially little golden one. (All of you orange-bunny slaves out there know what I mean )
Oh yes! Marlee’s bunny butt is orangy on top and creamy white underneath with a fluffy white tail. Her fur is super super super think. Soooo fluffy! I get cute overload just thinking about it!
Right? Haha.
Baww I’m glad im not the only one with a bunny butt obsession! Orange velvety rabbits are super cute…
Bun bums! not gonna lie, I have pics of lilacs bun bum on my phone just to get that giddiness in the go
Haha! I’m jumping in on this conversation! I totally have the background on my cellphone as my little bunny’s butt! That may be a whole new level!! I am definitely obsessed!! Every time we go to the grocery store(even if it’s just for milk) I have to check the veggie section, to peruse potential veggies for my Merlin ( I have a Merlin too silverpaws!) I also find myself waking up extra early before work, excited to go clean his poopy litterbox first thing in the morning, just cus it means I get to spend extra time with him! I’ve only had a bunny a couple months and my obsession is only getting worse….haha!
Peapod – the need to spend time with your bunny may even get worse . . . getting excited about cleaning the litterbox, I promise you that will wear off!
Haha, I’m sure cleaning his litterbox will become such a tedious chore! It’s crazy how many poops one bunny can make!! That’s gonna get old, fast!
Bunnies poop like machine guns i swear. Listen very hard and you’ll even hear ratta-ratta-ratta-tat.
… you have/do sleep with the curtains open to make sure you wake up “on time” to feed the bunny. Because he absolutely cannot wait later than 7, obviously.
Silverpaws — that or like popcorn popping!
Edit: The M&Ms couldn’t care less about a shared play area with Kieko, but Kieko has her own personal poop war when its her turn in the play area. When she stands on a harder surface near that litterbox, she can easily shoot out 20 poops while sniffing. Sounds just like popcorn!
Kyrkogrimr – yep, as soon as i open my eyes in the morning, I am greeted by the sight of Merlin standing opposite me, staring.
You know you are obsessed with buns if A. your partner shows you an album cover knowing you will love it because of bunnies!
And B. when snacks are automatically better when bun shaped!!
(Sorry for the product placement, but I really do like Rush and organic snacks )
I never hear my bunny poop! BONUS! ha ha hah ha!
But…. I did wake up yesterday morning, opened my eyes and saw Henry in my face! LOL!
Those bunny shaped treats look delicious!
Dont they???? xD I cant wait to get some more Maybe I will hand these out during Halloween????? xD
This is kinda of a general pet obsession thought…..
When you raid the penny jar to buy cat food or bunny food
When u go to the grocery store at 1am during a storm to get kitty her favorite treat – whipped cream! She’s been asking for it oh so nicely.
You make everyone else get you things. Because you are currently occupied by a warm fuzzy creature.
The cat is in your favorite chair. Do youmove her? Oh no.
You spend more on your bunny’s dental bills than your own.
LPT — but that cute little squishy face, how could you not put it first!
Exactly!!! They very much come first in this house!
When you make up little stories about exactly what kind of cars your bunnies would drive, what kinds of clothes they would wear, etc.
XD TB yes.
When your litterbox trained bunny comes home from her mani-pedi at the vet, pees on the fleece a foot from the litterbox then hops in the litterbox and gives you the stink eye, and your response is to pet her head and say “I understand sweetie. You’ve had a rough day. Go ahead and have some fresh hay while Mommy cleans this up.”
When you have bunnies in practically every room of your house/apartment so they can all have equal space.
