To hate the stupid rabbits

So MIL and FIL have gone on holiday this week. DP said we would look after the rabbits while they were away without asking me.

The rabbits are house rabbits and currently in a hutch in the kitchen stinking our whole house out Angry

DP said because I am on annual leave this week I can clean out and look after them....
I went to change the water this morning and one of the fuckers bit me Angry

So I am leaving them and DP can clean them out when he gets home. The whole of the downstairs of my house STINKS... DP says we are a team and I should pull my weight when it comes to helping family!

Please please tell me I am not mad and unreasonable... Sad

Yes they have form for chewing things and have killed a wii and a treadmill hence not letting them free range in my house...
They have been let out for snuggles with DP this evening and they seem cheerful enough

They are lovely, OP. I adore rabbits - they are NOT cunts! Have you never read watership down!?

I don't see the DP has done anything that terrible: it's two bunnies, not two chimpanzees.

HairsprayBabe · 02/06/2016 21:54

Yes none of this is the rabbits fault, but saying i hate PiL/DP would be a dreadful cliche Grin

Ah but in watership down iirc there are some nasty fascist type rabbits

They're cunts surely Grin

It's possible to find them a bit cunty but still adore them see also kids dogs and men

katemiddletonsnudeheels · 02/06/2016 22:00

Hmm true. But I refuse to believe that black and white bunny is anything other than pure and loving Grin

HairsprayBabe · 02/06/2016 22:03

Kate she is the evil one! Always growling and biting.... or humping her sister!

No! I cannot accept this! Grin She's just ... umm ... misunderstood!

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 02/06/2016 22:15

We have a growly grumpy one too

AND she's the Cute One

I love cunty rabbits, they got big swinging lagomorph balls. Specially the girls

HairsprayBabe · 02/06/2016 22:17

Misunderstood in an ASBOish type way Grin

Have you never read Watership Down

Yes, and they were reet evil little gits ( 'speshly General Woundwort).

I read a chapter to the guinea pigs, they were aghast and agog at these demonic fictional lagomorphs Wink

acasualobserver · 02/06/2016 22:28

Most pets you shouldn't eat: cats, dogs, gerbils & co. But rabbits are actually a recognised foodstuff. Why don't you cook them? Conveniently, they're already in the kitchen.

So Babe , we won't see you anytime soon on "Small Pets" starting a thread : Tell me all about rabbits, I fancy buying some...............Wink

TheScottishPlay · 02/06/2016 22:44

Poor rabbits. Tiny cage, out of their normal routine and you 'caring' for them.

clarrrp · 02/06/2016 22:58

We had house bunnies - they shouldn't smell. You haven't changed their food or given them scraps etc? Or changed the type of litter you are using for them?

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 02/06/2016 23:12

We had ours indoors for two nights last week-they'd just been spayed, weren't themselves and needed to be kept an eye on

They did smell-we all noticed. Not a bad smell that would be the hamster but still definitely a smell

PurpleRainDiamondsandPearls · 02/06/2016 23:14

We had a rabbit. Randy little bastard that humped everything in sight. I was not sorry when he died. Blush He wasn't my bunny, I must add; he was my sister's and she gave him a great life but I hated him. I think he was creepy.

Asprilla11 · 02/06/2016 23:18

PurpleRainDiamondsandPearls "I think he was creepy"

Did he spy on you getting undressed? Grin

timelytess · 02/06/2016 23:25

It might just be me but I find adults without children keeping rabbits really quite weird/ creepy
Ha! I have three (I had four, on died recently). They are nine years old. I am fifty-eight.
They aren't really suitable pets for children. They are territorial. You were probably only nipped, OP, because when they really bite they close their jaws and won't let go.
Distract them with food while you empty their trays etc.
