Ah! There's a bunch more lines I can come up with to add :bunnydance:...

You've gone to the bunnies when...


The only thing you have organized is your pedigree book. (That reminds me... I gotta balance the checkbook - almost time to get more rabbit food.)

You're the happiest when a new litter is born... (Oh yeah hunny, I'm happy with you too... so on our trip to Nationals....)

You're rabbits get fed before the family does. (Dinner? Eh, who needs dinner anyways!)

You will willingly go out in the pouring rain or freezing ice twice a day to make sure all the rabbits are okay, fed, and watered... but you gripe and groan about having to go out in that weather to do ANYTHING else.

Your husband wonders where you've been all day, "You left your cell phone at home and I couldn't reach you", to which you respond "Nowhere... I've been home, in the backyard with the rabbits".

Every conversation you have somehow evolves into a conversation regarding rabbits. :cool:

Well from my experience:

...you've gone to the bunnies when you respond to "rabbit" just as fast as you do
your own name...

I have been given the nick name "rabbit" by my room mate, and now alot of people at school are now calling me that. I don't mind, it's the first nickname I've ever had, and it's not a bad one either. He decided to call me that since I'm constantly looking at this bunny forum, or some other rabbit material online when I take a break from studying.

My nickname from my boyfriend is "Mama conejo" which means "Mother Rabbit" in spanish. And everyone at work always asks me how my children are doing, referring to my rabbits. hehe
 

Bumping this since we have new breeders on here that I thought might enjoy it!

I am currently looking at buying a newcar. Besides the reliablility and safety points, it has tofit just as many or even more carriers than my Camry doesnow. That is sad! The first thing I think of is,"How many crates can I fit in the backseat?"

Sharon

Just in case anyone is wondering, my 2000 Toyota Camrycan fit10 crates in the backseat... mind you, I have Dutch and Woolies...theyare small.

Backseat ... I would remove it completely. :tongutwo:

Which reminds me, I still have an emptycage in thevan. Just incasethere was a bunny available.

Rainbows! :upsidedown:
 
I have a few more but I don't know if they're that good:

You know you've gone to the bunnies when:

Your halls have more pictures of your bunnies then of your family (I just made this one up!)

You look for every rabbit book instead of the latest issue of "People"

You make sure your rabbits have enough room in the car and don't worry that your kids have to share a seat together

Those are the only ones i have and I made them all up! they're pretty good! :laugh:

So was buying a Ford Windstar so we could take bunnies to shows a bit extreme?

(Ok - so it wasn't the only reason we bought it).

But its a 2003...

Peg
 
Oh, yeah, I can relate! I am shopping for a cartoo, and I know I need lots of passenger space for my human kids-butthe seats have to lay down/come out for my rabbit carriers! One of mymain requirements, LOL.
 
Hehe-this is cute. I don't relate to this onewhen it comes to rabbits, but when it comes to cavies OH YES! LOL. AllI talk about is cavies. My friends at school just want me to shut upabout cavies, same with my family! :DI spend more timeshopping for cavy stuff and getting more cavy stuff than shopping formyself. The eletric bill has been a bit higher since the cavies havebeen in their climate controlled shed. My parents' 4Runner has its mainpurpose for... picking up cavy feed, a bale of hay, and bedding at thesame time, and if we have a bunch of cavies, and 4 or more people to goto cavy shows. My parents have a Prius, so we mostly take that to cavyshows, now. I spend so much time thinking up cavy names... I have alist of almost 200 names to use for the cavies! I always go into thestores thinking of things I could get for the kids (cavies!) at home.My dad knows that when I go to Costco or Sam's club, I keep looking forthe creative cubes... but not anymore, since we have more than 120 ofthose cube panels!

Whenever I'm on the computer, I always have to go to some kind of cavy website or forum.

And yesterday I set up a 7' x 14' creative cube pen just for the caviesto have a blast in... it's GIANT! My 11 sows were in it yesterday, theyhad so much fun! 98 square feet!!!! I'll have my boars in it sometimesoon... But through all the money, time, craploads of poop and pee andbedding cleaned, just having the cavies are worth it!
 
You have cavies? I think they are so cute. Ikeep trying to talk my Hubby into letting me get one, but he says 5cats and a dog in the house is plenty! LOL Are they really cuddly, canyou hold them and stuff? I overheard a cavie breeder talking to someoneat a show recently, and she said something about this particular onethey were looking at liked to be held and said it was unusual.
 
bumping this thread for breeders (and others) who could use a laugh today....
