>>5118753 I love how bunnies look but from my own limited experience I don't think they make amazing pets, I had two when I was a kid but I don't even really remember their names like I do with the cats I had then.
I had a bunny that passed about a year ago. I considered adopting a new one, but it makes me feel like I am replacing her, besides I threw away the litter box and mats when she passed. What do?
>>5119444 Unless you intend to get 2, I'd advise against, bunnies need company. If you intend to get 2, I'd still advise against it, bunnies are a constant source of worries.
>>5119818 you're the one speaking ill of bunnies for not worrying about their existence enough. (pic unrelated - OP is in Rabbit Hell for their comment)
>>5119060 Can someone photoshop this into one of those "staring at computer screen" reaction images. Lil bro looks like he just saw something so cringe it becomes shocking and sad.
>>5118789 I think I remember the names of all my B-tier pets growing up >Harriett the painted turtle, born before me >crinkle the rat also born before me, there's a pic of it sitting on my chest as a baby >Jesse the guniea pig >Gene the Gerbil, one of the best animals of my life, second only to Cookie (but spelled with a K bc Mortal Kombat), the best dog I'll ever have >Tweek and Piper the budgies >Koopa the Kwik, the snapping turtle. I went away for the summer and no one renembered to feed him :( >Bathory (Batty) the white rat. A very good rat. She would sit on my shoulder all the time I'm foggy on the countless C and D tier pets I've had over these 33 years like fish or random lizards and bugs from the yard. We had a mouse named kibble because we found him in the dog food for example.
>>5122198 Probably not as much as me. I cant do it alone, he hates it that much, so I get it done during his bi-annual checkups. Every Oct & May. I know youre supposed to do it every month or so but I think it would be unneeded stress.
>>5122198 Depends on the bun. One of my buns I have to do every month, minimum. For whatever reason, my lionhead's nails grow slower (in length) but thicker, so less often. As my buns got older, it actually got easier to trim their nails. After five years, my lionhead is very easy to trim. First four years sucked though. My lop's always been a good bun.
>>5118753 I don't know, man, just looking into their soulless eyes. I can see that there is no thought or emotion in that brain. Like yeah, they're cute and all, but I have this overwhelming urge to snap its little neck like a pencil even when I'm cuddling with the thing.
>>5127929 Anon, good and bad news. The bunny on the right of this image looks like a dumped stray. Fate has ordained that you gain a rabbit, but you must be careful. Any shelters near you?
>>5128072 I haven't heard of any shelters near here, I know that one of the neighbors has free roaming rabbits in his fenced off garden. Sadly I think there's too many of them around for one person to take care of, on my morning walk I've seen at least 4 of these fat fucks. I assume the top right one is more in line with what a wild rabbit would look like, the others look like snacks for foxes and shit.
>>5128080 Well, fuck. If you know a vet office of some sort, they may be your second best option. As for how to identify wild bunnies from strays:
Generally, any coat other than the brownish one you see here is tray. The white, cocoa, hazel, sand, black etc. coated bunnies are domestic only, but where it gets spotty are the bunnies bred to *look* wild. Those I have no real expertise in, but what I can say is that the bunny in the bottom right of *this* image is a stray.
And as for hares, they're lankier and have different eyes.
>>5127929 >>5128072 Make sure first if it's not reported missing from somewhere in your neighbourhood if it's a stray. It could have escaped from an outdoor enclosure.
I am thinking of getting a bunny. I live in an apartment that will let me get one.
How much space should I dedicate to the bunny if I get it? I was thinking of having a nice hutch connecting out into a ~32” tall playpen that would be about 6 ft by 8 ft?
The bunny would spend most of its time in there minus an hour or so of being freely available to run in my room (very large master bedroom)
Would this be appropriate for a bunny or is it cruel and a bad idea?
>>5129367 Depends on your continent. Americans think it's fine, western europeans think it's cruel and you need at minimum two bunnies since they're very social, and eastern europeans dont understand what you do with the food.
>>5129367 Spacing and free roam all sounds great, just keep in mind they're social animals. Also hopefully decent insulation in case you get a thumper.
Is the cottontail rabbit starting to go extinct in Wyoming? I kve in a small rural town in the southeastern area of the state and I barely ever see adult rabbits even at dawn/dusk, and I only saw one baby one at the beginning of April. We have a lot of stray cats in town, unfortunately, and we've had little rain, so I fear they might've deemed this town inhospitable. I want any tips possible for rabbitspotting and to get rare footage of a mama rabbit tending her den. I just can't find them, not near the school, not nesr the park, not even in the airport that's a little outta town.
>>5130720 Humans are basically killing the entire planet with glyphosate, nicotine based pesticides, birth control which is never removed in water treatmrnt plants, or any other number of pharma poisons like SSRIs.
>>5130720 I've seen some tweets here and there reporting the seasons have been changing too early resulting in wild bunnies being unable to adapt and switch to their winter appearance on time, leaving them uncamouflaged and exposed to predators in the snow
