Time for Rabbits!

[FernieB]

It does seem to get a bit piggy-centric over here which is partly my fault probably because my pigs shout louder than the bunny. Current Bun is feeling left out. Anyone want to share (cotton)'tails' of their long eared, big footed, fluffy lumps bundles?

My boy saved me from certain death yesterday when he thumped to warn me of the approach of a particularly vicious looking fledgling bluetit. Who knows what could have happened if he hadn't alerted me to that danger!

He is beautiful .. and such a hero. Special biscuits required as a treat for saving you 😃

Awww All Hail current Bun . Those Bluetit fledgling types are vicious, it could've gone Pete Tong if he hadn't been so vigilant.

We sometimes find shredded birds in the garden I ask my GP5 if she has something she'd like to share ? (Those ruby eyes, DD thinks she's a vampire, and she doesn't like sunlight)

"Nought to do with me" she tuts" And make sure you clean up the pigeon intestines before I graze. Thank You"

He's had extra biscuits for being so brave. Clearly the baby bluetit was concealing dangerous weapons underneath it's yellow fluff.

Here's my bun.

She only has one ear but I still think she's beautiful.

She's a beautiful colour and has a very pretty face. Looks very intelligent.

What happened to her ear? I'm just curious

My 2 enjoying some sunshine.

Ear got infected. No idea how. One of those things.

She almost died. It was hideous. She's very special.

Are rabbits with drooping ears more likely to get problems than bunnies with standy up ears?

Ones that are upright must be at risk of damage but are dependant ears more likely to to get overheated or wax build up (or trodden on if the rabbit catches them underpaw?)

My guineas think those long ears are just a liability and cavy lugholes are far tidier

I have no idea about the link between ear style and ear health.

But I do love bunny ears and am grateful for the one I have access to.

What a hero you bunny is, my girl doesn't have a tail but does think she can eat meat she also steals complete plates of food ! Currently she is on a diet and has decided on a dirty protest on my bloody sofa

I remember your post about your rabbit Joffrey (is she called 'Knives' or similar? )
It was a horrible situation for all concerned but thankfully she's still here to tell the tale , with her battle scars, but a trouper.

Knives, yes. Named after Knives Chau.

She's lush.

Lots of gorgeous buns

Did a quick search and found an article about Lop ears www.rabbitresidence.org.uk/lop-or-not.html - if anyone's interested. Apparently Lops are more docile but prone to ear infections, tooth problems and find it more difficult to stay clean.

Previous bun was a lion head with upright ears - she ruled the house and could be quite aggressive with strangers. Current Bun is so docile (the pigs can climb him and he doesn't mind) but does have cleaning issues especially now he's a bit older.

Here's my two hiding in the bunny castle that DD made them!

Complete with flag!

Love it. Love the flag. Rabbits look suitably impressed.

They have their own Instagram account too!

I have two. Walt is the brown one and Jesse is the black. They're about 2 years old and brothers. Couldn't be any more different personality wise, Walt is an absolute stress head and thumps at anything and everything, and Jesse is a laid back little sweetheart. Rubbish photos but they're the only ones I have on my phone. Love them both to bits

It was mybunnyisamummy's thread about her unexpected little of baby bunnies that brought me to MN
