The bunny is really friendly.. should

Should we really consider getting it a friend? Will doing so make him want to play with us less? I swear the bunny thinks its one of us, or we are one of him/her. It loves to play!!

Videos coming soon

The need for companionship is so deeply ingrained in rabbits that centuries of domestication have had little impact. Like humans and many other creatures, European wild rabbits (ancestors to our domestic rabbits) need to live in groups. A community or warren consists of as many as a hundred individuals working together to create, maintain and peacefully share a network of tunnels. Their lives include daily cooperation to find food, watch for and warn of predators, and protect, raise, and teach their young.

The need for companionship can be met partially by a human, but once you live with a bonded pair or trio you will see that even the most devoted human cannot quite fill the bill. Bonded pairs are rarely out of each other's sight. Humans will never be completely fluent in Rabbit. Rabbits talk to each other constantly, not so much with sounds as with movements. There are large movements such as dancing and grooming, and there are quite small communications of breath and slight shifts in position. You can sense some of this quiet conversation by lying on the floor beside two talkative rabbits. The bond between human and rabbit also can be deep and joyful. In fact, the closer we become to our rabbits, the more clearly do we understand their need for a friend of their own kind.

Fortunately for all of us, what's good for the bunny is very good for her human. HRS Colorado Chapter Manager Nancy LaRoche writes, "Pairs are much easier to care for, get into far less trouble, are happier, and tend to relate better to people. Boredom leads to bunny-in-trouble, and pairs don't get nearly as bored because they are so busy relating to each other. Many adopters have told me, 'If anyone doubts that pairs get into less trouble and relate better to people, tell them to call me! If I had known how much easier two rabbits would be, I'd never have gotten just one.'"

Boredom and depression are common symptoms of loneliness in rabbits. These are accompanied by destructiveness and hyperactivity in some rabbits (generally the smaller breeds), withdrawal in others.

By adopting your new friend from a shelter or rescue group you can save two lives, which feels even better than saving one.

well Heather, that answers that lol... I just wanted to make sure we wouldnt loose out on him by getting him a friend lol...

1- Heather is right.

and 2- That is the CUTEST rabbit I have seen in a LONG time!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

awe, thanks Mindi.. my SO picked him out :D He is a real sweety.. i was pleasantly surprised

OMG I LOVE pepper bunnies!!! That one is TOOOO cute!

And yeah, it really needs to be sexed and get a friend. I 'took in' a dwarf once that had lost her companion to a wolf-hybrid attack and she was the most depressed thing I'd ever seen... even the friendship of my orange tabby cat (That was funny) didn't really do it. I ended up giving her to a friend who raised dwarf rabbits who had another adult she could get along with. :) Miss her terribly, but it was the best for Walnut (her nose was light brown on a black bunny).

:) thanks for the compliment and the info on bunnies.. im sorry to hear about yours.. i remember loosing my first bunny and i was devastated!

:) thanks. She was a great little old lady:
