I have had most pet animals except for a scorpio and a rabbit. So, I got a miniature rabbit, it is staying in a wooden house in the garden. It is a very funny animal to observe. Even my older children are fascinated. The most similar images   |

It wasn't necessarily my first thought, but my grandson on the farm raises rabbits, and I know how very quickly they can multiply! My comment was just a word of caution! |

My comment was just a word of caution! That is why I was thinking of getting a female, most likely her sister from the same salesman in the market. But now, after seeing how much care the rabbit requires, I will give up. Besides, two rabbits, two cats and a dozen other animals in one house might be too much for my wife. |

I got one when the kids were small because they wanted a dog, and I thought having the rabbit would appease them a bit. I found out that they are more labor-intensive than dogs! When the rabbit died, we did get a dog and it was easier and more affectionate and interactive than the rabbit!I know you don't like dogs, though...  |

The rabbit is doing well, and it is really stunning. The only problem is that it is lonely most of the time (I don`t count the tortoise), while rabbits like the company of their kin. But now I can`t keep two. |

I moved the rabbit`s house to the city and now she lives on the balcony in the tortoise`s area. The balcony looks like a battlefield as if a grenade exploded among abundant vegetation because I bring loads of green stuff from the garden.
When I open the door, she comes into my room and sniffs around. It is funny but once she hid behind furniture and bit cables. I was really surprised when I lost Nnet connection.
Unfortunately, the rabbit isn`t as appreciated by my kids as our cats. She behaves like half wild, the only moment you can touch/caress her is while offering her sth tasty, e.g., a carrot. So, the initial fascination is largely gone. I am sorry but I can`t help it.

Yes, rabbits have been known to nibble wires. But so have cats! My mother's cat was famous for doing that! I understand; for the work involved in caring for them, they offer little in the way of affection or company! |

Well, it depends on an individual - some rabbits are more friendly than ours. I bought mine at a countryside fair from a farmer, not professional breeder of classy rabbits. It is a pity she is so wild but let it be this way - I will loyally stand by her. |

Are you being sarcastic? I know lots of cats that nibble! I made the mistake of buying a full-grown rabbit that had been residing in a pet store for quite awhile. In retrospect I should have bought a young bunny. The one I bought was not used to being handled by people. It would bite us if she wasn't happy with us...
She didn't live very long, either, even though we took good care of her. Oh well, it was a lesson well-learned.
My 7-year-old grandson raises rabbits. He started out raising them to sell for meat (he is the son of the farmers), but when his friends would come to visit and see all the cute bunnies, he started selling more as pets. With three little boys in the family, these rabbits get LOTS if attention and handling, so they make nice, cuddly pets!

I have had 6 cats so far and none nibbled at cables. Neither my family nor acquaintances who keep cats have ever mentioned the fact to me. What is more, I have never read about it in cat books nor saw it in films or documentaries about pets. I think you were joking about it. You were, weren`t you? I made a mistake of giving our rabbit too much freedom when I built a big outing corral for her. She went wild in there. |

My mother's cat used to chew all wires, lights, telephone, TV; it was really annoying. Perhaps he was bored living in a condo with an elderly lady. After my mother passed away, a couple I know took him because their long-time pet cat had recently died. Now my mother's cat lives in a huge, old Victorian house and loves the space! He seems very happy now...I'll have to ask my friend if he still bites wires! What do you mean by going wild...and why was that a problem? I assume she was just enjoying acting like a rabbit! |

Aaah, so you meant your mother`s cat exclusively, not cats in general! He must have been wrong in the attic! Going wild in my post meant that she prefers to avoid human company because she can do well on her own. That is why touching and caressing her is only possible when you show her a carrot. Yes, acting like a true rabbit means you don`t fraternise with humans because you have other goals in life. . |
