Broody - but not for a baby! (for a certain type of pet).

[Wanderlusto]

I don't know if anyone this this but I'm at the point atm where I'm waking up thinking 'I want a bunny!' And going to sleep thinking 'I want a bunny!'.

I always had them growing up and just miss them so! I go through these phases on a semi regular basis now. Generally take a few months of telling myself no, to get over it.

During that time I end up ...down the rabbit hole...of countless youtube videos of rabbits lol.

It genuinely feels like a need!

I won't get rabbits again until I have garden space though (Looking to move this summer all going to plan). This flat is really not bunny proof and I always feel happier when they have space outside to play in anyway.

But omg, bunny fever lol.
Anyone else get this way about pets?

What about a little dog like a chihuahua?!!!

I love little dogs! But I wouldnt be able to leave it alone for a day if I ended up working full time.

I did think about a cat but not a fan of cat litter trays.

Think I'm just going to behave myself till I can get a rabbit. I was considering a hamster in the meantime but the flat sometimes has mice and I'd worry one might get into the cage and hurt it.

This was absolutely me!

My obsessions are often rabbits and hamsters.

Both more complicated animals than most people think!
Rabbits being the most neglected animals in the UK and one of the most unwanted pets, so many in rescues.
I definitely recommend joining a Facebook group or two though, before getting any animal and research online too. There are usually a lot of misleading information and times have changed and information is always adapting. Pet stores are not the place to gain information in my experience, although there are obviously some educated staff.

If you do end up getting a rabbit, please get an already neutered, vaccined and bonded pair from a rescue. Just because they are in a rescue doesn't mean they have done anything (one of my previous boys was born in the rescue) doesn't mean they are bad, ugly (not that there are any ugly buns!) and old.

If you get a baby, you'll have to eventually get them neutered, vaccined (they do a triple vaccine now, once yearly around £70 from our vets per bun) and attempt to bond them with another neutered rabbit, at least 8 weeks after neutering, so their hormones are no longer present.

Rabbits are highly social animals and thrive with a friend of their own kind, I believe all buns deserve to have a friend of their own kind, it is even more important if they are outside buns.

Prepare to have at least 300 poops per bun a day.
Potential of high vet bills (consider insurance or/and a vet plan)
and hay everywhere! Even in places you have no idea how it got there
But the most important thing - enjoy them for the 6-15 years.
