peregrinerose 0 #1 November 22, 2004 Here's the story. I have this rabbit, named Stu. Stu was adopted from the humane league. I wanted a male rabbit, they told me he was a male rabbit, I never bothered double checking since rabbits are not fond of being flipped on their backs. Enter rabbit number 2, a cute little guy at the pet store who was abandoned by his previous owners. We brought the boy home and threw them both in the bathtub to get acquainted on neutral ground. We came back a couple hours later. They were doing things that typically boy rabbits don't do. Quick double check of our first rabbit to find out that we have a girl named Stu. Second rabbit was thus dubbed Casanova. We now have a knocked up bunny who is going to hatch within the next two days. Which means I will have from one to nine baby rabbits to find homes for. So, any of you wonderful people like a rabbit to call your very own? Very friendly, easy to litter train, and all those warm and fuzzy things that make them the ideal low maintanance pet.

RkyMtnHigh 0 #5 November 22, 2004 Jen....that shit is soooooooo freakin' funny...I'll take a bunny if you think Kozzy (my 4.5 lb Yorkie) would get along with him YAY Stu! _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #6 November 22, 2004 I have a 90 lb rottie/black lab mix that is terrified of our rabbits. I have a 40 lb cattle dog that will sit and groom one of the rabbits and tends to ignore the other. The cats just sit and watch them, one will groom them. So if a rottie can deal with a rabbit, a yorkie can too Besides, yorkies don't really count as dogs, they are fuzzy yipping footballs Jen Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #8 November 23, 2004 I have three dogs that love to chase rabbits on our daily walks.

Jumpervint 0 #12 November 23, 2004 Get him clipped soon. They breed like.... rabbits. We had the same kinda thing happen. Someone gives you a bunny, you rescue another. Started out with three, all girls, except that one named Pat (Patrick? Or Patricia? oh - definitely Patrick.) Had a litter of six, which the vet assured us were all female, except the one that wasn't. Before the dust and the snipping settled, we had 45 rabbits. The vet gave us a really good deal on neutering 'em. Vint. . . . . "Make it hard again."

peregrinerose 0 #14 November 23, 2004 I've had rabbits all my life, and know how to sex them. I also know that they detest being flipped over, so never bothered repeating the torture if the humane league already did it. Moral of the story, never believe humane league rabbit sexing. I can understand mistaking a boy for a girl, but how the hell can you screw up calling a rabbit a boy if it isn't? Yes, he is getting fixed. Ball whacking day is the Monday after Thanksgiving. I can't wait. I have eaten rabbit, good stuff. But these are definitely pet bunnies. My dogs also chase rabbits in our yard, but they groom and play with my house rabbits. The rabbits love it, they like chasing the rottweiler around the house, really funny to watch. Both are litter trained.\ Mom is a dutch, dad is a chinchilla. I have no idea what babies will look like, it'll be interesting. I've had a New Zealand who should have been meat instead of pet, a couple albinos, a couple checkered giants, and a holland lop over the years. All lived to old age and spoiled rotten.

peregrinerose 0 #15 November 23, 2004 Why do you think we named him Stu? Thought the whole concept of Rabbit Stu was funny. Of course, we have guinea pigs named Bacon and Pork Chop, so we are a little sick when it comes to naming pets.
