    Dogs and rabbits? A few questions

    I got my first rabbit growing up in the Bronx in New York City. I had a Cairn Terrier Honestly, he wanted to eat the rabbit. When my Cairn Terrier passed away I got a German Shepherd/Labrador mix, about a year old, from the shelter/ASPCA. She seemed to feel all in the apartment were there...

    Dogs and rabbits? A few questions

    They do have high prey drives, but not to those that are part of their herd/flock. So you need to do an introduction, and let the dog become part of your family, including the rabbits. This can take a minimum of 3 months and it just requires patience. You'll find your herding breed dog will...

    Dogs and rabbits? A few questions

    Listen, I have 3 dogs and one rabbit. All run free in the house. I have an Australian Shepherd, a Labrador and a Chow Chow. My rabbit is a Flemish Giant. Being that Angus is a 28 lb rabbit, he is not seen as prey. I'm guessing that your rabbit is considerably smaller. So this is what I...

    Wanted everyone's personal opinion on bunny breed

    I’ll give them a look. I am a leader in 4H and it’s always nice to show kids how friendly they are if they’re interested in them. Angus was great at that but really heavy to carry in a carrier. A friend has mini Rex rabbits but they seemed so tiny. Almost afraid they would break lol. Thank...

    Wanted everyone's personal opinion on bunny breed

    Thank you. I called Nebraska Humane Society and they currently have no rabbits. But it’s still a great idea. I’ll wait a bit and try again

    Wanted everyone's personal opinion on bunny breed

    I have always had Flemish Giants. Just one at a time. Recently lost my Angus - he was 10 years old. Wonderful bunny. So Flemish Giants are all I know. Angus was 26 lbs. The female I had before him was 22 lbs. I was thinking I might try another breed, and one not so giant, but I don't want...
