The title may scare you a little. It may imply to you a field day of fluffy cuteness and I can't deny that they are very cute, however there is a whole lot more to these animals than meets the eye.
They are highly sociable and intelligent animals and as I found out they learn relatively quickly. You put them in the garden and leave them there and you do both yourself and the rabbit a huge disservice. There's a whole bundle of character to be discovered.
They are both endearing and entertaining, some like to snuggle and others would sooner run for the door. If you are after a pet for a child, you may want to think again. They don't like their ears pulled and they are fidgets. Loud noises can be unnerving and amongst all this they can be quite expensive to keep.
Weekly hay, fresh greens/grasses, bedding, housing and that's before you even make it to the vets. The vaccinations against VHD and myxi, dental care and nail trimming. Albeit some you can learn yourself and with care, nail trimming can be done at home. Also giving bugs optimum nutrition will keep the immune system strong, however there are always exceptions.
Anyway, welcome to Lagomorph Wonderland where I own no rabbits, because well they own me, all three of them! There's a bit of friction at times and it can be like having children, (I think :s) but I love them to bits and I think they're pretty cool with me! :)
