I don't live on my own, there are other people here, and they don't want her living in the house full time. But that wasn't the point of this post. I only wanted to share what a wonderful bond a human can have with a rabbit.

Definitely, and IMO there's nothing cuter than a rabbit and cat getting along well together. The cat that roams around our neighbourhood at night is a stranger, and quite a large one. Felicity is a 4 pound lionhead, and seems extremely sensitive about other creatures and what they're about. She...

This just goes to show what a wonderful strong loving bond rabbits and their owners can have. I have a baby monitor on at virtually all times out in the backyard. It was originally meant to listen for bird and squirrel activity at their food station, but it gained another use starting a few...

Lol About the rabbit finding misplaced candy and clearing the table. My Dutch was like that. He would eat anything, including dog chow. We had a Maltese at the same time, and when we let the rabbit loose in the house, nobody thought he would be at all interested in the dog food. It simply didn't...

Someone summed it up beautifully in an earlier comment on how rabbits have all the best of various pets rolled up in one. I couldn't agree more. Had a Guinea pig for a time as a little kid. Couldn't cope with the smell. Cage needed to be cleaned out daily. And it just doesn't work when you're a...

Which is why it's good to share info since everyone's experiences and rabbits are different from even what's said on information sites. So there is no cause for alarm when someone's pet rabbit doesn't fit some of the various details specified on breed info pages. The only thing I'm certain about...

This is actually a great topic since when sites give weight approximations and standards, they don't always specify that non-show rabbits can weigh more or less than the measurements given. My Felicity weighs more than the show standard. So I was curious to find out if this was normal/okay. She...

The differences in various things that rabbits can recognize and learn to associate with good or bad is amazing, especially when people who don't know much of anything about rabbits just think bunnies are - well - perpetual scaredycats, or unresponsive, or "not very smart" or "boring". And I've...

Haha. "Oh look, a new interactive toy!" If he got his way, that would surely undo all your effort to clean up his cage. Sometimes they appear to like chasing things. When I put a new toy in Felicity's cage, it was a folded up box that was easy to pass from hand to hand, and while I did that, she...

Thanks so much, BlackMinirex! Thanks both for the compliment and encouragement. You're right, Felicity is an extremely happy rabbit. I'll stick around as long as there are more posts like yours that actually welcome rather than put people off, and I'm especially interested in various behaviours...

Look, if I wanted to inquire about cage size, I would have. If this is all I'm going to get for posting about my lovely rabbit, animal welfare social justice warriorism, I am going to delete this thread and leave. There's already far too much of this crap on everyone's Youtube videos and I'm...

Her name is Felicity. She was sold as, and for a short time, I thought she was a purebred Netherland dwarf. She started out as my heart's desire, and ended up being much more. Sometimes rabbits give certain humans something they just can't get from other people or even other pets. Felicity...

Hehe! Oh yeah, the angry thing, animals seem keen to pick up on that. Probably part of the survival instinct. But their varying reactions to other types of upset, I once had a sugar glider that was normally amazingly affectionate and laid back, but she was even more so when I was really sick...

Lol Well, I didn't say all rabbits. Just speaking from my experience and some others I've read about. My Dutch rabbit used to lick the tears off my face when I cried, and he was especially loving when I wasn't feeling well. My lionhead is extremely loving too, but she seems to be a little tense...

I'm sure she will be just fine. Especially if the new cage is larger. She'll probably be a little uncertain at first, but it's no different from any other creature adjusting to a new environment - including ourselves. She'll start playing around and having a good time before you know it.

She'll be just fine. Just keep being your usual self with her and relax. From what I've been able to tell, rabbits can be extremely in tune with their owners. If you're concerned, she could be picking up on that plus trying to get used to the new environment. Once she's in the new cage, she...

I'm glad to find this thread, because my young lionhead/ND dwarf mix does this too.

It sounds like you're doing amazingly well with him in the car, and taking that into consideration plus the small improvements at home, it sounds like you're doing everything right. Just keep it up, and the more relaxed her gets, the more frequently and longer you can hold him. Whatever you are...

The more and more frequently you can hold him, the better. I've had great luck with rabbits, apparently, since all mine have loved being held. Mind you, I got one from a school when I was in my teens, and then another from a friend who could no longer keep him. Both of those rabbits were love...
