Awesome, but I would still be worried about it chewing through a power cord of some device in my house.

Cute when little and adults, each has their own personalities. Some like to be held, some don't. I had one that acted like an attack dog that would grunt and pounce with its front claws. There's always that Monty Python skit...

Rats FTW! ;)

Ours is bright. It plays fetch - runs from you - sneaks up on ya and bumps ya with it's head. It gets past the baby gate all the time. It doesn't chew as we watch here when she is out. She has a cage she is in most of the time. We let her out to run for about an hour every evening.

not that great unless u live in a place where u got a big yard or something. supposedly u can potty train em, but i think its probalby very hard. so letting em run around inside = pee and poo trail. takes the fun outa that. they can't stop pooing, so u get pooped on. its just a little ball but still. their cages are a pain to deal with all the pee and poo, goddamned poop factories.
basically it boils down to lots and lots of poo.

and yes not always cute. i had two that became bitter enemies. they drew blood if let out at the same time.

Rabbits will chew on everything they can find in the house. All my electronic equipment had wires that were reconnected multiple times, and in the end, I finally hung them a metre high using nails. :)

Rabbits will also eat any kind of plant it can reach, it does not know which plants are poisonous to it. I lost my first rabbit when it ate one whole leaf of "dumbcane".

My rabbit used to hang in our backyard. Pushed around a soccer ball with its nose most of the day. Only trouble was making sure cats didn't want in our yard. Luckily, our little Thumper eventually died of old age without a single kitty attack.

um.... rabbits love lettuce.


We had two when I was little. They were awesome. the yard was fenced in w/ chicken wire type stuff on the bottom part of the fence. One was very social and nice to people - the other would 'bark' at strangers... kind of a distressed noise - hard to explain.


both died of old age, and weren't bad "yard pets".. they got along with our cat too
