Re: should we get a bunny?
I am an experienced bunny lover, and I have to tell you they are very delicious! HAHAHA

does that sound right for one bunny?
now... we had two - they were SUPER stinky and ate my son's room. it was awful... so we know we'd want to keep this one in it's enclosure most of the time. is that mean?
i want you experienced bunny lovers to chime in... let me know if we are contemplating something we will regret in the end.

LOL. They are quite lovely, aren't they?
Maybe I've never met a tame one, but they all seem to be nervous and twitchy, and not at all cuddly like my dogs and cats. I know they can be tamed, but they don't seem to be innately social like predators are...they definitely know that the world is out to eat them. Or else they know that I like lapin. :-P

Re: should we get a bunny?
I will never know what it's like to keep bunnies, b/c Mark is deathly allergic to them.. it is the one animal he is allergic to. We do have a little wild bunny living in the horse barn though; he is adorable.

Re: should we get a bunny?
Rabbits are extremely social animals, and very cuddly, they just play by their own rules and speak their own language. To me it's like saying cats are all stand-offish and dogs are all clingy. Rabbits are just higher maintenance and need you to earn their trust. After that, they can be EXTREMELY bold and relaxed! My Bowie bulldozes stuff out of his way! And Unut tugs on my pant leg for treats! Every bunny has a different personality, just like every cat or every dog does, and they need a lot of social interaction or else they get depressed or anti-social. But they're certainly not for everybody.
And LOL at Tumbleweed! I wouldn't want to have to brush that cute fuzzball!

Re: should we get a bunny?
Only thing I'm thinking here Aleesha is that if it's going to spend a fair bit of time in a cage and being a very sociable creature maybe getting a single bunny isn't a great idea. Isn't it going to end up a bit lonely in there? Maybe something else like a nice chincilla or GP would be a better choice?

Re: should we get a bunny?
i'm concerned about the same thing.
i'm feeling overwhelmed about this decision so i think it needs to be shelved for a bit and then rethought about later.
