After looking at you I'm surprised they didn't upchuck and faint.

Thanks baffled... everyone else would just as soon make a meal of my new friend :(


Have you ever eaten rabbit? TASTY!:D

When I was a kid we raised rabbits and cooked them up, Bunny Chow mein!

I see rabbits from time to time. Usually I find their corpses on the floor in my kitchen after my cat decides to release it from his mouth.

I had a holland dwarf lop bunny many years ago, it was the best pet I've ever had. No barking, no scratching, pottie trained and everything, but that thing was damn hard to catch once it got going.

I didn't get any pics, but recently we have had an influx of squirrels. We always had a few that would come and hang out...eat out of our hands... etc., but one day last week we had 8...yes EIGHT young sqiurrels playing in our back yard alllll day. Talk about cute. They'd run around after each other in a big line... up the tree...fall out... continue... then they'd all sprawl out on our patio furniture for a while and cool off. I'll try to get some pics next time they are around :D

My cat used to eat those. He's too old and lazy to chase anything now, though. One could walk right up to him and he'd probably just sniff at it.

A very cute little bunny :)

All rabbits are basically adorable. But they're also incredibly stupid, or at least the ones that I've met. These girls that I know have a rabbit, and it's just an idiot. It just sits there, sniffing with his nose, doing nothing. It's a completely inert being; it's the noble gas of organisms. The smartest thing that I've seen that rabbit do is try to bite the toe of my shoe. The rest of the time, he just sits there like the dumbass that he is. He'll move on occasion. If you pick him up, he'll just sort of hang there limply, until at one point it gets tired of being held and convulses his entire body in an attempt to escape your grip. Then he'll just hang there some more. It's still adorable, though. You can't help but smile when you look in his little face with his wiggly nose and pet his soft, warm fur.

And what do you see wrong with this lifestyle? :D

My backyard in NJ has between 10-15 squirrels in it any time of the day. The damn animals are all over the place! Wherever you look! They have no natural enemies in this area (besides for the occasional hawk), their only enemies are cars. We are so overrun here! You like 'em? Take 'em all!

I always hate it when people ask challenging and exciting questions you wouldn't mind puzzling over and then, blam, post the answer so close by you can't avoid seeing it.
