Just ordered Mr. Whitman's book, Pam.Sounds like it is just my kind of rabbit book. Hopefully itis not too late to get the author signed, pre-release price, butregardless I will buy it at any price under $50.00 if it delivers allit promises.

Thanks for the tip!

i'd never seen the bunny years caculator, veryintresting although scarry, it says Jesse is 73.25 human years old...well he does kinda act like it. Nice long list you've gotgoing, many things for people to check out

 

[Carolyn]

Good to see ya, Gab! :dude:

That particular site was given to us by BunnyMommy.

Each one of the above was chosen from our forum and some from my binder.

God Bless Jess, and you.

I'm thinking i should enter in each year andsee what it says, i have had people ask me in the past what ithought a bunny's age was in human years, now I got somethingto compare too, very cool, actually one the girls i work with and iwere just talking about it not long ago(she also has rabbits )

 

[Buck Jones]

I've read, and it coincides with the web siterecommended by BunnyMommy ,that the ratio of bunny to human years is1:10. One human year equivalent to 10 bunny years.

Hi Buck,

Have you read any of Bob's articles? They are fascinating andalways include illustrations from his extensivecollection. I don't think that this book willdisappoint and I'm really looking forward to receiving it. Ialso purchased a copy as a wedding gift formy friends (ajudge and a 4-H advisor).

OOOoooo...there are so many sites and books ! yippeee! thanks so much carolyn, its really helpful.

the formula i did to determine my bun's age before i saw thatcalculator thing was: human average divided by rabbit average=80/10=8then 8 divided by 12 (months in a year) and then multiply that numberby how many months your bun has been alive then that = your bun's agein human years(or months). BUT im not sure if my equation makes senseor works,i made it a while ago.

theres a new book that came out heres the link:http://www.rabbit.org/links/sections/stories-rabbits-tell.htmli've never read the book, but im planning to, it sounds pretty good tome.
