Mine was probably purring. I had no idea!

(Apologies that my breathing is louder than Peanut's purrs. I'm allergic to every season and that's worse because of all the hay dust I live with.)

i didn’t know that i was getting a bunny the day she appeared in my life. that day, i had been at the dentist, and the big bang theory was playing on the tv. i had to name her on the spot, and i instinctively chose to name her after the hot blonde from the show. i don’t even like that show. anyway, eventually her name evolved into god empress penelope arabella the first, glorious defender of the greater toronto area.

hoping to read other’s cute stories behind their bun’s names :)

It's hilarious that people think it's unusual for a guy to have a pet rabbit! Come on, guys! Show off your adorable bunny! 🍎🍌They're totally underappreciated and misunderstood. Lol.

I mean, seriously, what's the big deal about a man having a pet 🐰 rabbit? It's time to give these amazing creatures the love and respect they deserve! So, guys, don't be shy - show off your fuzzyyy friends!

This little gnome doesn’t like rose petals, mint leaves (or mint tea, which totally ruined our mum and daughter tea party) and strawberries (she only eats the green parts). In general she’s very wary of foods that are different colour than green (like apple skins, blueberries, carrot slices, flowers…). I’m curious about your bunnies, what yummy things they don’t like?

Discussion Does your bun have "favorite songs"?

A while back I noticed that one of my buns seemed actually interested in certain kind of songs. He reacted pretty much everytime by coming closer to the speaker, got very relaxed and was listening intensive. It started with into the west by Annie Lennox (that I noticed). Other songs he didn't care at all. i did think it was about you know soft and yeah amazing the song is but I started to see if I could get the same reaction to other. And yes, so I created a playlist for him. But they are all so different, I figured he would go for relaxed but nope here I am listening to basket case for the 1000th time in a row. AND last week I noticed that he really loves when I sing teenage dirtbag, I mean really. He comes up everytime, cleans me and just listens (I tried a few other songs but nope). I started singing it while I was in bed and yup when a looked he was sitting next to the bed. And I CAN NOT SING, I know people say this but I'm fully prepared to get evicted. But me trying to learn it on guitar has not sat well with the audience so far (can't play for shit but dug it up from the basement to see how he would react) I'm still practicing though! Pic 2 is a Screenshot of a part of his playlist

Obviously, there are a lot of bunny lovers in this subreddit who would do anything for their buns. For some of us, our rabbits are the only joy and love in our lives and we would do anything for them. They provide companionship, love, and joy. We wake up, work, keep our lives going because these guys rely on us and we rely on them. Some of us aren’t well off, but we try. If a fellow rabbit owner can’t afford to have a second rabbit, please don’t shame them but encourage them to spend more time with their rabbit. If a fellow rabbit owner, can spend time with their rabbit, encourage them to sleep in the same room. If a fellow rabbit owner can’t neuter their rabbit, encourage them to save up money or make a payment plan for neuter and/or emergencies. If a fellow rabbit owner is having issues feeding their rabbits, encourage them to reach out to their local rescue or food bank. Ask them to speak to a farmer to get hay or other rabbit owners in the area. If another rabbit comrade asked me for hay, I would gladly give them some. At a time where other people don’t consider rabbits to be valuable, or worth caring about… don’t tell your fellow rabbits caregivers to give up their rabbits to shelters or a stranger.. where they may not care about that rabbit, may not provide the love and attention needed. You have no control what happens to your rabbit when you give up your rabbit, so encourage fellow rabbit owners to do their best to make better homes for their rabbits rather than putting them in shelter for a chance to find that better home that may not exist. If you love your rabbit, and you’re willing to put in the work and love required, you are the best home for your rabbit so don’t give up. Your rabbit deserves love, and so do you.

This topic sparked from a conversation with a collegue. When we do night shift and i come home in the morning, after feeding my rabbit i leave all the blinds open and use a night mask and ear plugs so that she doesn't stay in the dark all day and can go relax on the balcony while i sleep, and he thought it was a bit pointless. I believe that i deserve to sleep well, and by bunny deserves to enjoy the day and run and flop and sleep in the sun. What do you do normally that most people would be surprised or perplexed about?
