When I first got the rabbit, it was suppose to be my " niece's Rabbit. My father " lied" to me, and basically gave me the rabbit to take care of. I'm kinda ticked off about that because I wanna go out, and live my life to the fullest. My niece is big now, and so.. eventually it will be time for her to actually take care of her " own" rabbit.
My father told me he hated rabbits, that they poop everywhere, and smell really bad. He was actually " incorrect" because.. I think as they grow older they become potty trained or.. unable to poop everywhere. My bunny doesn't poop at all on me or is dumping me at all. He won't poop in his spare cage. My father went up north to pick up rabbit, and the lady.. that was carrying the rabbits had 3 different bunnies. The first rabbit was "big" and was a ginger rabbit. She was to aggressive, and so me an my mother said " no". We looked at the other rabbit, and it looked like a Cow. It was black, and white an was ugly looking. The third.. canidate was a " tiny.. grey rabbit, and we found out he was a " boy". I think the black/ white one was a boy, the other ginger one was a girl.
He was so beautiful, and cute. He had shimmery.. gloss skin, and wasn't aggressive, and mean. He was affectionate, and a sweet bunny. Then.. we took him home, and my parents bought him a small rabbit " hutch". Rabbit.. became " mean". He use to run around in the patio deck at the old house, had enough area to run around. Our bunny.. is mixed. He's a holland hop rabbit which is mixed with a Chinchilua mix to it. He has weird eyes. They're dark brown but slightly blue tint to it. Anyways.. rabbit was affectionate to me, nice to me. Then.. my mother brain washed him, and started to become controlling, and possessive with him. My real mother isn't like that. I mean she's controlling but she's not going to take someone's " SUN" away from them. They gave me the responsiblilty to take care of him, and it was working.
Then we moved out of that house, into the house we're in right now. We still have no " freedom" or priviledge to do things. My father wanted a " screening" on the patio deck, and they rejected his offer. So. Our rabbit.. was put in his cage, and had 4 different locks on the cage. Thumper.. our rabbit stunk, and was segregated, and isolated from moving around outside of his cage. I told my mother put him in my bedroom, and he won't escape. I told her.. he needed a bath, and to let me take care of him. She refused my offer, and controlled him an started abusing the rabbit.
We still don't have a patio on the deck, and we can't do what we want to do in this house. They denied my father's offer of having a patio.. on the deck. Instead he ruined... it by creating blocks outside of the patio, and creating his own way. He told.. me now that we have our own house we can do whatever we want to!
Turned.. out we're still under a bunch of people who are dominating, and controlling us, aren't free to do whatever we want. Anyways.. finally.. my father put the cage outside near the fence. He at least got the White fence around the house, and decided to by a fencing.. that's black around his crib.
As.. thumper finally got out of the cage.. he became " scared" of me, and territoral. He was scratching me, and acted like he doesn't even know me anymore. As.. if I don't exist. Which is a pretty.. shady thing to do because I'm the one who was feeding it, and changing it's water and letting him run around outside the house. My parents took that trust away from me, so I have to start all over with him.
Now.. he's medium size, and he's changed. He's hit puberty, and he acts like his own person. He doesn't kiss my anymore, and his colors have changed on his body. He's got balls growing underneath him, and he's hair.. color turned a basic.. dark dark grey gothic " combat" color hair. He's got white ish.. around his nose, and swirls.. around.. his middle body part. Very odd, and unique looking. It looks like a Camo color to him as.. if he's in the military or in combat mode.
However. He turned into a trouble maker, and a bad rabbit. His rabbit... is chewed up, and ripped apart. His poop dish is cracked from him tossing it around, and throwing it around everywhere. He's having " temper" tantrums. He doesn't want to eat his food, and he's a picky eater.
He wants the expensive Yogurt blueberry treats, and is sick of his grain oats foods. He pees on the floor, and not in his rabbit dish. He ****s in his rabbit.. dish, sometimes.. lays in it. He lay's in his own ****, and lays on hay.. that looks from a barn. He doesn't eat the hay or likes they hay. Instead.. he kicks the hay around, and dumps on it. He doesn't dump on me though. However.. he has pooped on my bed one time, and peed on my arms, on the comforter.
He chews up everything, and I'm sick of it. I can't cuddle him without him scratching me, and before he was easy.. to clip his nails. Now.. I have to " HOG" tie him, and hurt.. him to.. make him stay in one spot. He's adventrous and likes the " run around" ha..ha.. chase me game. He'll act all kind to your face, and make it easy to where.. you can catch him, and then.. he snatches your food, and runs away from you. Sometimes you have to pin him down, and make his squeal a bit.. because he's stubborn, and won't move.
He communicates a lot or does a Code.. while pushing the button on his water bottle, thinks it's funny. Then.. he'll.. cry, and get an emotional if he's not getting the attention that he needs. Sometimes.. he gets happy when he see's me, and jumps in the air moving side ways. He acts all fake.. where he's climbing up the fence, and wants you to see him, and acts like he's happy to see you. An.. then all of a sudden 2 faces you as if he doesn't got a clue who you're. He's really 2 faced.
He drives me nuts... but.. he digs a lot, and ruins my clothes that I have. He digs on me, and gets frustrated. I don't know what he's frustrated with. But he bit me, and my main concern is his chewing problem. He doesn't want to chew his toys but.. wants to chew his house.. up, and chew other people. He bit my boob before, and left a mini scar on it.
Any advice?!
I love my rabbit.. but he's stubborn, and 2 faced. He acts all sweet, and then.. acts like he doesn't even notice you. He plays hide an go seek, and makes it easy to where you catch him but jumps out of your hands. I mean my rabbit thumper is pretty slick, and smart. You don't know what he's thinking because he does one thing, and acts on something totally different.
He's an aquarius Boy. I know.. that. So! I know he's independent. But I'm an aquarius Sun to, and I don't act like that. He looks like a ram though.. with his ears.
Any advice with the chewing, digging? I'm planning to buy him a new house because the one he has is destroyed, and the glue.. is falling apart. :happybunny::USA::inlove::rabbithop: :bambiandthumper
