Well, I'm not really new to the rabbit owning thing, just to the forums :biggrin:
My first rabbit was Circle. She died in 2 days cuz I stupidly left her outside at night, and a HUGE HUGE rainstorm occured during the night :shock:She was found floating in her cage X( (I was only 9, don't blame me...............)
My second rabbit was Thumper, when I was almost 13. He died in within a little over a week, becuz I didnt know how to take care of rabbits. I never fed him pellets, only lettuce (I KNOW, HORRIBLE!), carrots,grass, andthese flower stems from a bush outside.I didn't mean to be a bad owner, my mom just kept stalling and stalling on getting a rabbit care book from the library (cuz we didn't have internet back then)!!!!!
But Thumper was the best rabbit I've EVER had. He was my bestest friend, and even though it's been 3 and a half years since his death (when I cried like a big baby), I still haven't and will never forget him. Those days together I will always cherish in my heart forever. </3
Next, when I was almost 16, I had seven rabbits.... They were a litter I got from my cousins. (Yep, took the whole brood :biggrin Me and my brother and sister named them, and we knew each one and their distinct personalities. In the end, however, seven was too much to handle. After a month, my mom forced us to take our pick of just 2, and the rest had to go. :shock:These were the rabbits (in order from biggest to smallest, and yep, I still remember):
Tito (girl): caring, outgoing.
Brownie (girl): aggressive, scary.
Jake (girl): super jumpy, lashed out in fear.
Bunny (boy): the most athletic, smartest.
Long (boy): fun-loving, easy-going.
(Flick and White died after about 3 days with us-- Flick was too cold, that's why during his death we brought the rabbit cage upstairs from the basement (he froze to death in basement). And White was actually stomped to death by the other baby bunnies in their cage the night that Flick died[!!!!!!]. Didn't really get a grasp on their personalities, just that Flick seemed to be jumpy, and White seemed to be calm.)
We chose our fav, Tito, and I made everyone choose Brownie, becuz I read that the most aggressive rabbit would later make the most affectionate pet once you work the aggressiveness out of them. We didn't choose any of the boy rabbits for a reason: they'd spray us when they were older.
My rabbits are now over 7 months old. This is how it's worked out for them. The book was right, Brownie is the most affectionate and energetic rabbit! I taught her a whole bunch of tricks in under a week! She's super smart :bunnyheart
As for Tito, even though she seemed promising, after we took the other sibling rabbits away, she changed drastically. Now all she does is sit there, and she's very afraid of us (but that's my fault, I'm always trying to pick her up :sigh:.) She's still very kind and sweet, though. That part hasn't changed.
