Hey guys, my names Caitlin and I guess I wanted to join a forum for bunnies because... I need to see that there are people out there who have a bunny like I have a bunny.
My bunny is seven months old and carries on like a baby boy with a serious mummy complex. He's a dwarf lop (apparently with traces of Netherland blood?) whoI bought during my lunch break in March (I'd just finished reading Watership Down)... perhaps unsurprisingly, I named him Fiver.
I wasn't completely oblivious as to how to care for a bunny, but I tried to raise him never to shy away from a cuddle by taking him everywhere (and I still take him everywhere, bar work) in a soft bag and introducing him to anyone who asked. I think for a rabbit he has a seriously cool life. He regularly attendssleepovers, coffee dates, nice restaurants and lovesplaying with my Pomeranian and other small dogs at the park (on a leash). You may think I'm mistaking terror for glee, but he honestly does bound around the oval doing flying 360s in the air.
At home, he cuddles up on my bed like some kind of beautiful cat and will snuggle in your arms for hours if given the chance. If you take your hand away, he'll run up toit and place his head against your outstretched hand. If you put him on his back, he goes into the infamous bunny trance, blissing out completely. He also seems to do a little party trick where you count down from three with your fingers and he snaps out of it and comes back to life.
I guess what I'm getting is that I was skeptical about rabbits as pets at first, but I never imaginedthe strength of thebonda humancan forge withtheir bunny. I couldn't have hoped for a more loving, affectionate, interactive or rewarding pet. So without further ado, I'd like to introduce to you my pride and joy, Fiver the dwarf!
