Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yep, that is us! My first bunny did get run over and died from my wheelchair--it was awful. I wasn't used to having a pet to worry about and forgot she was out of her cage. So...when I got the next bunny (who lived 8.5 years!) I was super-paranoid and constantly asked " where's the rabbit " whenever he was out of the cage before I would move my wheelchair. Now we have 4.5 year-old and 9 month-old bunnies. I continue to be hyper-vigilant when they're out. As you mentioned, they seem to have *no fear* of my wheels. Do you keep it in a cage at all? Whenever I am home alone I never have our bunnies out, only when someone else is around to do " bunny checks " for me. If I know I'll be " sitting still " for awhile (watching TV, on the computer, etc) then I ask for them to be let out for some hop time. I also keep a hand-held mirror in my chair which can help me look behind me or locate the buns before moving. Is this your first house rabbit? I'm excited for you!! ~a ________________________________ From: Moss <lindajmoss@...> " " < > Sent: Tue, January 25, 2011 11:06:01 PM Subject: Rabbit I have ended up with a liberated rabbit.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Oh no, how traumatic to run over your first rabbit!!! Least we have both learnt from this tragedy. At the moment he is sadly only has run of the house an hour or two a day as my toy poodle hates the rabbit and wants to bite him! So rabbit is only out for as long as we can tolerate the dogs loud protesting about being shut up. I have a tiny room about 5x5 which rabbit is in most of the time. Looking at ways of rabbit being more involved in the household otherwise feel I will have to get him another rabbit for company. Dont really want another animal though as I feel I have enough already with dog, rabbit and three hens!! Yes he is my first rabbit so any tips welcome. Wondering if he is deaf as he doesn't seem to respond to dog barking or hand clapping. What is your favourite thing about living with rabbits?

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi ina, Yes, you can eat rabbit. It's quite a lean meat, so make sure to add lots of fat to it! Enjoy!
