Brunswick isn't really a pet per se. She is more like a roommate with their own agenda and such... But yeah.. the problem is finding someone who will take them. The vet I went to for a check up gave me a list of people to call all over the state for rehab purposes should Brunswick get stressed...
Wait.... that's weird... No one I have come across in this Bunny City, USA has problems with raising cottontails. They have become a sorta de facto temporary pet for college students around here since they are easily found young and everyone thinks the poor things have been orphaned. In fact...
That statement not only wins you the forum, but the entire internet as well!:laugh:
Anywho, I got her because she was savaged by a cat when she was young and I nursed her back to health. The rehabbers just told me the same thing: wait until the thaw.
errrm.... Cottontails don't dig holes, live in warrens, or are very social by nature (which is why I was confused by the vocalizations... why vocalize when you're not a social species to begin with). Are you sure you're living on the right side of the pond? Lol! :D I called the rehabbers before...
Hello again. For those of you that doesn't know, I currently have a rescued Eastern Cottontail living free in my apt. Her name is Brunswick. I also have a young Flemish Giant who goes by the moniker Sedgewick. They are both house rabbits, although Sedgewick does have a pen since she can't be...
Hello Clement! Your fur is gorgeous! Sometimes I wish my fur was more usual, but my bunny slave said that nature gave me my color to keep me safe... not that it helped much... I was attacked by a cat when I was a baby after all...:cry2. My bunny slave told me that I have a cat brother, but I...
Thanks for the advice. Thankfully, some of my natural habits are aiding me in this: I love laying on the floor (boo chairs) and I'm a vegetarian (who eats on the floor! Super yummy accessible food smells!) Currently, due to an aggravated surgery, I have been sleeping on the floor in the main...
So I have a little wild 3 mo girl named Brunswick. She's litter boxed trained and roams freely in my apartment, which has been bunny-proofed. She is rather happy: zooming around the room, binking up a storm, finding delightful treats to nom, and climbing over every object that is climbable. She...
Ok... now you got me curious. A flat head is an indicator of what? Oh, another quick question that I couldn't figure out the answer to even with the wise and vast internets: can cottontails crossbreed with domesticated rabbits? On a side note, Brunswick's population does live on an island with...
Ahh.... Brunswick will apparently will be cute if she figures out that I'm eating a salad on the floor. Here she is searching out some noms....
She does look like a cottontail, doesn't she?
Hello, my name is Brunswick and this is my first post. My bunny slave says that I am a very smart bunny. I think really hard about things before I do them. A few days ago I thought and thought really hard before jumping on the large white thing in the bathroom. This thing looked very solid, like...
I've been trying to get a super cute pic of my little rescue, but she mocks all my attempts. Here's her thumbing her furry nose at me by devouring my camera case. Enjoy.
Brunswick was being extra binky when I got home today... probably because I FINALLY fixed my internet so she can watch shows again! lol! Anyways, here's some dramatic footage of her being hyper: zooming under my legs and climbing the treacherous Mt. Backpack. Unfortunately, these were the only...
I don't know why she's friendly. I think curiosity just gets the best of her. Now, she does NOT like being held or petted, and she's running around this morning like I betrayed her terribly since I thought some cuddling might do her some good. ACK! She's sneaking up on me and tickling me with...
