>>5118753I love how bunnies look but from my own limited experience I don't think they make amazing pets, I had two when I was a kid but I don't even really remember their names like I do with the cats I had then.
>>5118789Their names were Jeppers and Pononong
>>5118789They are little chuds
>>5118753We're back, /bun/!
>>5118789It depends on what you want from a pet.They don't always make for lap pets though some buns may get cuddly with you.
I had a bunny that passed about a year ago.I considered adopting a new one, but it makes me feel like I am replacing her, besides I threw away the litter box and mats when she passed.What do?
>>5119444Unless you intend to get 2, I'd advise against, bunnies need company.If you intend to get 2, I'd still advise against it, bunnies are a constant source of worries.
>>5119675wtf man you cant speak ill of bunnies in the bunnies thread
>>5119818you're the one speaking ill of bunnies for not worrying about their existence enough.(pic unrelated - OP is in Rabbit Hell for their comment)
Bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny
>>5119879Well fuck you. I'll go check my local shelter tomorrow and I will get two. That will show you
>>5120082Based. I love my bunnies. Adopting them was one of the best choices I've made. As a vegan, they're the perfect pet.
Puff and Pippa are (not) friends.
>>5119060The pure look of disbelief on that bunny.
>>5118753Do anyone else's bun get hopping mad when you're even a minute late with their daily treat?
too little appreciation for hares in the world. i know everyone thinks theyre ugly but ive been obsessed with them forever
ive been tracking the local hares territory and going out to take photos of them for a while now
but you get a wild bunny too. sorry for low quality i suck at taking pictures i just do it cause im a leporid simp
>>5119060Can someone photoshop this into one of those "staring at computer screen" reaction images.Lil bro looks like he just saw something so cringe it becomes shocking and sad.
>>5121618something like this?
>>5121612Thank you. Please share your hares.
>>5118789I think I remember the names of all my B-tier pets growing up>Harriett the painted turtle, born before me>crinkle the rat also born before me, there's a pic of it sitting on my chest as a baby>Jesse the guniea pig>Gene the Gerbil, one of the best animals of my life, second only to Cookie (but spelled with a K bc Mortal Kombat), the best dog I'll ever have>Tweek and Piper the budgies>Koopa the Kwik, the snapping turtle. I went away for the summer and no one renembered to feed him :(>Bathory (Batty) the white rat. A very good rat. She would sit on my shoulder all the timeI'm foggy on the countless C and D tier pets I've had over these 33 years like fish or random lizards and bugs from the yard. We had a mouse named kibble because we found him in the dog food for example.
I hate nail trim day
>>5121967How often do you get nails done? I always feel like i procrastinate.
>>5121967They hate it too.>tfw I always thought I was going to hurt my poor bunny when trimming her nails, and she probably was thinking the same
>>5122198Probably not as much as me. I cant do it alone, he hates it that much, so I get it done during his bi-annual checkups. Every Oct & May. I know youre supposed to do it every month or so but I think it would be unneeded stress.
>>5122198Depends on the bun. One of my buns I have to do every month, minimum. For whatever reason, my lionhead's nails grow slower (in length) but thicker, so less often.As my buns got older, it actually got easier to trim their nails. After five years, my lionhead is very easy to trim. First four years sucked though.My lop's always been a good bun.
>>5120062This bunny is very friendly
>>5118817
>>5123133They used FGs on Tellytubbies to make them look appropriately small against the costumes
>>5123136They were also fucking on camera
>>5123210
>>5123136>>5123210>Rabbit sex... in my Tellytubbies show?????
bnuy :3
>>5123210Reminds me of an interview of somebody that worked on Wishbone and he said the dog was "hung like a moose"

>>5126436I love them all
What kind of bunny is this? It doesn't look real.
you claim to hate it when humans abandon bunnies but if I (a human) abandoned a bunny in your yard i'm sure you would be delighted
>>5126716Looks like a very groomed angora>>5126716No I'd be stressed that its another poor bunny to take in
>>5126452wtf
>>5126708angora
>>5121627I like it!Somehow the jpg artifacts give it a good charm.
William Afton looking mf. I love him
>>5127509This rabbit is very sophisticated and dignified
>>5127509WTF why did you cut one of hiss ears? Was he styling on you by being too formal and classy?
>>5118753I don't know, man, just looking into their soulless eyes. I can see that there is no thought or emotion in that brain. Like yeah, they're cute and all, but I have this overwhelming urge to snap its little neck like a pencil even when I'm cuddling with the thing.
How many of these assholes usually live in an area? I've only ever seen 3 of them together, but I assume there's more hiding in my garden.
>>5127929Anon, good and bad news. The bunny on the right of this image looks like a dumped stray.Fate has ordained that you gain a rabbit, but you must be careful. Any shelters near you?
>>5128072I haven't heard of any shelters near here, I know that one of the neighbors has free roaming rabbits in his fenced off garden. Sadly I think there's too many of them around for one person to take care of, on my morning walk I've seen at least 4 of these fat fucks. I assume the top right one is more in line with what a wild rabbit would look like, the others look like snacks for foxes and shit.
>>5128080Top right looks more hare than rabbit with that thousand yard stare and long front limbs
Huh I thought rabbits became hares when feralized as some kind of adaptation. Apparently they are entirely different species.
>>5128164Aside from the appearance bunnies are born blind and bald while hares come out with full sight and fur
>>5128080Well, fuck.If you know a vet office of some sort, they may be your second best option. As for how to identify wild bunnies from strays:Generally, any coat other than the brownish one you see here is tray. The white, cocoa, hazel, sand, black etc. coated bunnies are domestic only, but where it gets spotty are the bunnies bred to *look* wild. Those I have no real expertise in, but what I can say is that the bunny in the bottom right of *this* image is a stray.And as for hares, they're lankier and have different eyes.
>>5128072Are you sure it's a stray? It looks just like the other one to me.Am I racist?Maybe make sure it's even approachable first.
>>5127929>>5128072Make sure first if it's not reported missing from somewhere in your neighbourhood if it's a stray.It could have escaped from an outdoor enclosure.

May you and your bunnies have a happy and blessed feast day of Saint Melangell.
I am thinking of getting a bunny. I live in an apartment that will let me get one. How much space should I dedicate to the bunny if I get it? I was thinking of having a nice hutch connecting out into a ~32” tall playpen that would be about 6 ft by 8 ft? The bunny would spend most of its time in there minus an hour or so of being freely available to run in my room (very large master bedroom) Would this be appropriate for a bunny or is it cruel and a bad idea?
>>5129367Sounds about right>t. don't own a bnuy
>>5129367Depends on your continent. Americans think it's fine, western europeans think it's cruel and you need at minimum two bunnies since they're very social, and eastern europeans dont understand what you do with the food.
>>5129367Sounds good. They're awesome pets. I love mine.
>>5129367Spacing and free roam all sounds great, just keep in mind they're social animals. Also hopefully decent insulation in case you get a thumper.
Is the cottontail rabbit starting to go extinct in Wyoming? I kve in a small rural town in the southeastern area of the state and I barely ever see adult rabbits even at dawn/dusk, and I only saw one baby one at the beginning of April. We have a lot of stray cats in town, unfortunately, and we've had little rain, so I fear they might've deemed this town inhospitable. I want any tips possible for rabbitspotting and to get rare footage of a mama rabbit tending her den. I just can't find them, not near the school, not nesr the park, not even in the airport that's a little outta town.
>>5126708>>5127249what did you do to tippy?
>>5130720Humans are basically killing the entire planet with glyphosate, nicotine based pesticides, birth control which is never removed in water treatmrnt plants, or any other number of pharma poisons like SSRIs.
>>5130720I've seen some tweets here and there reporting the seasons have been changing too early resulting in wild bunnies being unable to adapt and switch to their winter appearance on time, leaving them uncamouflaged and exposed to predators in the snow
What the fuck, they're playing soccer now.
>>5132612They are getting ready for the world cup. You wouldn't get it.
>>5130720if only people would feed bunnies instead of cats...
Hello fellow bunnies
>>5127720Alright negro, you ain't talking about bunnies like that. >>5126452
>>5133641Impostor buns
>>5134591ok but they are cute
>>5133641if not bunny, why rabbit shaped?
You fool. This isn't even my final form!
>>5135004Is that a tortoise or a hare?? Who would win?
>>5135059It is a Haretise

Earlier this year I got some art of my little chud commissioned for my wife.
i would die for him
why do they do that with their noses
>>5138259Get one to wiggle their nose on your cheek and you can call that a bunny kiss
it's getting really hot where I live, tomorrow temperatures will reach 37 deggres celsius and I don't have ac. I'm really worried for my rabbit. I try to cool him down with cold water on his ears and cold bottles but I can't open the fridge often... fucking hell
Lops > nonlops
>>5138463nigger taste
is it possible or well advised to get buns if I live alone and have to leave the house to work 8 hours a day? it sounds like a pet that is impossible without either having other people living with me to help take care of or not having to leave the house to work.
>>5138592if you get him a friend or you will make sure that you spend time with him after a job then yeah, get one, from a shelter of course
>>5138592They're crepuscular meaning they're most alert in the early morning and evening so you should be able to spend time with your bunny before and after work, during its most active periods
Bunnies have a level of cuteness that is unmatched in the animal kingdom.
>>5138600I like both the faces in this image so much
Do rabbits poop everywhere? One of my friends as a kid had a rabbit and I remember there being rabbit poop all over her floor, I don't know if it was the rabbit's fault or just her being a shitty owner.
>>5138734They just do that.. it's how they normally get their full nutrients in the wild.
>>5138734They can be toilet trained and they will primarily poop and pee in that specific spot, however they'll still make some stray poops here and there. Not much at all, but it'll be there
>>5138781>>5138783is it a lot easier to clean since they make small dry balls of poop?
>>5138792You can pick them up by hand yes, bunny poop is dry and scentlessThe pee is the stinky one, and the poop in their toilet tray will be drenched in it.
>>5138781Cecotropes are distinctly different from the majority of rabbit poop. They do not eat their normal poop, which is what occasionally gets found outside their litter box (seldom if you are not a shit owner), and you're not going to see cecotropes because they eat it.If you think you are finding cecotropes often (i.e. poop that is not dry) regularly, it's likely your rabbit has digestive issues due to diet or disease and you need to get that fucking checked out immediately.>>5138792If you are not a shit owner, you really shouldn't find much outside their litter box area. I have the fluffiest, longest hair lionhead I've ever seen and even she does not drag poop outside her area much. My short hair bun, even less. If you are not cleaning their litter box regularly, then yes, you will find a lot of shit elsewhere.
>>5138662One of the few animals that doesn't lose their cuteness in adulthood imo, and not just the dwarves
If your bun does flops and/or binkies is it an official sign that you are a good owner?
>>5139262Not necessarily. The reverse is also true. If your bun doesn't bink, you may not necessarily be a bad owner.All things equal though, I would rather have a binking bun than not.
>>5139262it means that it's happy but not necessarily that you're a good owner.I've seen rabbits do binkies in very horrendous living situations.

My rabbit has had some kind of medical issue for a month now, and after numerous vet visits, I'm out of ideas. I need to know if any of you have any advice.A few times a year for the past 2 or 3 years, he would get some kind of gastrointestinal pain that would cause him to stop eating and we would have to take him to the emergency vet for painkillers, fluid injection, etc. to help him recover. Since it kept happening we tried playing around with his diet, reducing the amount of greens we give him and so on.But about a month ago, his poop started to get weird, large and runny, and he seemed more lethargic. He had an interest in treats but not hay. This has gone on for weeks now, all vitals seemed fine at a checkup and bloodwork came back with no unusual results. He's sometimes visibly in pain and grinding his teeth, and a small spur was found on his tooth (not big enough to be a serious problem) so we got it removed, but his problems still persisted after. He seems really out of it, leaves runny stool in places where he didn't used to go (he's normally trained to use a specific spot.) Looks really tired, grinds teeth loudly, ignores most food. But when we give him a favorite treat like a banana, he suddenly goes back to his old self, excitedly running up to grab it like nothing's wrong. Have been syringe feeding him critical care multiple times a day lately. I think it's a gut issue but there's apparently no evidence of that. Anyone know what it could be, or what might help?
>>5139934what's his diet? what exactly does he eat? did you try to change to a different brand of hay? some herbs could affect him that way, mine is sensitive to some fresh herbs and dried ones
>>5118753I had a beautiful grey male rabbit. He lived inside but he was pretty domesticated and grew up around our smaller dogs. A couple of weeks ago we had him outside to graze and hang out while we cleaned his cage. My gf left him with no shade and he got a fucking heat stroke. I fucking miss him. House still feels empty without him. still have his food and feed in my storage. Little bite marks he left around the house. (sigh) We both blamed each other it was routine to let him go outside for routine cleaning. It was 80 degrees that day. We both failed him and I feel so guilty about it still.
>>5140098Leave the bitch outside to get heatstroke for murdering your rabbit.
>>5140098It happened so fast I tried to cool him down and did everything I could. He died in my arm all I could do was let him know I loved him no matter what and kept telling him how sorry i was. I called him rabbit but his name was actually Charles. This is him in the photo laying down living his best life just hanging out. He was well trained and would potty in his cage when needed and would often go back to his cage whenever he got hungry or need to go to the bathroom. God i fucking miss his presence. I never cried for a rabbit until that day. I got mad at my gf and told her she killed our rabbit out of anger but I couldn't blame her... I should have known better.
>find new youtube channel with nice bunnies>watch a few videos>find out bunny died years ago
>>5139980We leave timothy hay available 24/7 and feed him a salad of parsley and green leaf lettuce in the morning, then give him a few pellets/treats 3 times throughout the second half of the day, plus the occasional fruit/vegetable as an extra treat. Cut out lettuce a while ago to see if it helped, now we are trying to cut out everything but hay and water entirely. He's normally free roam around our house, tonight we have him in his enclosure with just hay and water. I think the lack of solid food/fiber has probably been the cause of runny stool. It's just so weird that his energy levels are so varied, yesterday he looked on the verge of death, today he followed me into my room to play with me. Strange creatures.
>>5140100RIP Charles. I'm sure he knew you loved him.
>>5140382I love this guy now, my hero
I suggested to my dad I would get a rabbit and he firmly believed it would live outside in the back yard all the time.
lovely
>>5140382Rabbits are literally food m8. The standard is keeping a bunch in a row of cages until you’re hungry. Anything against this is like forcing people to free range backyard chickens. People who want to keep livestock as pets can do so. However they are still born and bred to be edible. Besides. Why does he give a shit about rabbits when he stands behind the party of halal torture-slaughter and covering up/cooperating with transnational muslim pedophile networks?
>>5140414Just tell him he's gonna pay rent.Someday, just needs to get back on his paws...
>>5140106What kind of pellets do you give him?
>>5138662>>5139429YOU VILL STOP SMASHING AND SLAMMING THE BNUUYS
>>5140636How significant are the number of health complications between 3&4?Are the guys on the right more distant like real rabbits?
>>5140636yep, fuck eugenics
>>5140647>How significant are the number of health complications between 3&4?They're the ones without them. 5 have misaligned teeth and have constipation because they don't chew properly, 1&2 have it worse, in that order, like blocked tear ducts, respiratory issues, more teeth problems and with thermal regulation because rabbits pant.
Have you had any problems with insect infestations/how bad? I'm worried about that if I get a rabbit. Also, how bad are health problems and frequency/cost of vet visits? The way I've seen gi stasis described it sounds like you're rolling dice every day on whether or not your rabbit decides to start dying.

What are you even supposed to do when a pet dies. Do you put its body in a garbage bag and throw it out?
>>5142526If you have land then bury your pet. Could build a funeral pyre. Just however you feel about the value in celebrating the life of your pet. But also yeah veterinarians do have to dispose of bodies, as well.
https://x.com/haru_siro_fuku/status/2076531327915221241Fuku, a famous bunny on twitter who's had thymoma cancer for over a year and a half, is very sick now.Vet said she only had a month to live a year ago, it's been over a year since, side by side with her bonded lover Haru. A real fighter.She's won either way, but still hoping for the best.

>>5130720In southern missouri there are cottontail rabbits everywhere here. They like my backyard because I don't have a dog and I have wild grass that is mowed each week but it has tons of clover and various wild shit that grows fast and it's a buffet for them. They come right up to my patio where I'm sitting sometimes. They are chill. I like them. Apparently they don't thrive in untouched wild land, but they thrive on the edges of suburbia and country where they can find gardens and edges of Forrest by open fields. More food and less predators. During the day they like to burrow and hide from birds of prey. Coyotes are not far but they can't come into fenced backyards so rabbits like it here. They just hop fences into the neighbors yards when their dogs ain't outside. Pretty sure they burrow in my front garden under a bush. If I had a vegetable garden or cared about my landscaping they would probably piss me off but I don't so I don't mind.
>rabbit decides to dig a bowl in the yard where the lawn gets mowed to put its babies>doesn't choose to instead put the babies under the dense rectangular hedges surrounding the neighbor's house which is much safer and nobody would go nearAre they fucking retarded?
>>5142565if their babies die they just make more. They start breeding at like 6 months age.

I saw today a bunny alongside a heavy old anchor chain and some weedy flowers. What do these symbols mean?
>>5144012>What do these symbols mean?they mean that there was a bunny alongside a heavy old anchor chain and some weedy flowers
>>5144012it means overgrown and run down shit to hide and humans are close enough to provide food
