Bunnies - Orchid Board

These are my bunnies, Felix (the black and white one) and Pinecone (the brown one). Felix is a little over of year and has a crippled back leg (I think you can see it sticking out in one of the pics) and Pinecone is about 6 months old. Both are spoiled as all hell and neither likes carrots!

Anyway, Im bored and thought I would post

My girlfriend and I would prefer dogs, but since were not allowed to have any pets, we decided that rabbits are quiet and clean (sorta), so now we have 2!

Aw, bunnies are nice, Steve, but they do like to nibble on just about anything. Watch the chids.

I love the bunnies

Yours are adorable - I love Pinecone's colors ( Great name, too) Is it a mini-lop?

Aww - Felix is a sweetie despite his bum-leg

It doesn't seem to bother him
I had rabbits when I was a kid .. our big red-eyed white rabbit (Thumper) was even potty trained .. I also had a little black and white dutch rabbit named Patches.

Aww .. I miss them

If you aren't allow pets then what do you consider the rabbits? Small hairy children?

Ya, Pinecone is a Holland Lop, which is a dwarf variety. As for them being children... yes! These bunny children are messy, pouty, love to fight with eachother and even a bit sinky!

But like children, we still love 'em!!

I love your adorable bunnies! I love the colors on both, so cute!

I got my first rabbit when I was 13. She was a Netherland Dwarf and her name was Sage. She lived for almost 10 years! Then I bought a Dutch mix I named Daffodil. She lived for a really long time too. I have a rat now plus tons of other animal companions so I don't have room for a rabbit but I sure miss them! Daffy even litter trained herself so she was so neat and clean! Thanks for sharing!

I love bunnies, unfortunately I'm allergic to the fur. I hear they're easy to housetrain. I remember one of the only times I heard my Dad swear was when he looked out of the window and saw one eating his carnations

They are pretty easy to house train as long as they dont have some other bunny coming in and trying to take over thier territory!!

I learned that the hard way when we got Pinecone a few months ago. Now I have to re-train them to NOT mark their territory!! I also understand your Dad swearing because of bunnies! lol They do cause a lot of havoc. Its ok though, you gotta love 'em!!
