I'm curious...you have a male and a female...and they're rabbits...why aren't they breeding like...um...rabbits? =)

You can neuter/spay rodents too y'know. ;)

Oh...right...snip snip. =)

They're spayed and neutered, which also extends their lifespan. Female rabbits are very prone to ovarian cancer if you don't spay them, and their behavior is also better when they're altered. Pet rabbits should be spayed and neutered just like dogs and cats.

And hehe, rabbits often do the sphinx thing. I honestly never in a million years expected to be a rabbit person but after we rescued Daphne we fell in love and are now hooked.

They're also technically not rodents but lagomorphs. ;) They're not included in Rodentia.

i noticed that western fence lizards do that hypnotize thing too. its an awesome way to snap a pic of their blue, lol. very cute wabbits, BTW.

Eh sorry. If it has ever-growing teeth, a small brain, and is a rapidly reproducing prey item, I think 'rodent'.

Oooooh sooooo cute I love bunnies ^__^

I do the same thing to my bunny, Lucky....too bad you can't do while trying to bathe them!

lol! I actually haven't had reason to bathe them yet, they keep pretty clean just washing themselves and each other so I haven't had that delightful experience yet. We did get a few washclothes especially for buns from petsmart tho for the cleaning of feet and scent glands tho. :)

It's funny because I always used to think of rabbits as just food, and not really pet material. These two are family, and I can't imagine being without rabbits around now. Incredibly unexpected. Clever devious sweet little monsters who rule over the livingroom. We might keep an eye on the local rescue after Easter (sadly there's a LOT of throw-away-pet rabbits, chicks, and ducklings after Easter) and see if anybody's meant to join our little warren.

If we get a male dwarf or mini rabbit, I am *totally* naming him Keyser Soze.

Cool pics. I knew you could sort of hypnotize rats by holding them upright behind the front legs and gently making their hind end and tails move in circles, but I had no idea you could put a rabbit in a trance by holding them in your lap like that.
