Thank you! She is INCREDIBLY soft! I love nuzzling my noise between her ears. She likes to sprawl out near us or in a spot of sunlight <3 I was told to never get a bunny because of the "smell" but clearly those people didn't clean the cage enough because I've never had a smell problem! Rabbits are actually very clean animals. They use one area of their cage for a bathroom. So we end up treating it like a "cat litter" and cleaning it a couple times a day.

Yeah, you can actually train a rabbit to use a litterbox exactly like a cat I love rabbits, they make such good pets, but they should be treated with the same level of respect and care as cats and dogs- they are not a hamster or a gerbil, they aren't habitat animals.

I agree with that, Sarah. All the rabbit cages I see just aren't big enough for her. We have a hutch, but we also have one of those metal circle fences that you use to keep in a puppy. We move it outdoors for her to run around, and so long as we are watching, she runs around a room. I've never had an accident with her, she really does go back into her hutch when she has to use the bathroom.

Have you seen the big cages people make for cheap out of the cube shelves? I am going to build one if I ever get a rabbit. You should check it out!

I haven't! I'll have to check that out. For such a hoppy and energetic animal, they didn't count on the animal growing HUGE. I actually just saw a bunch of holland baby bunnies that look just like Moomoo and they were SO TINY. People don't count on them growing. Kinda like dogs.

I think bunnies are soooo cute!! I'd love to have one! But everyone tells me about the "smell" I never got one I almostttt adopted one from the fair I went to in the summer but it was right after I brought Bonnie and Clyde and my mom would have killed me lol Yours is adorable - I love the name!

Like any animal, they come with a smell if not taken care of properly. It really just takes proper cleaning to maintain a healthy and happy bunny and habitat I recommend getting a bunny one day if you can. They are adorable to watch hop and run around and cuddly.

Check this out! breyfamily.net/bunnycage.html These storage cube bunny cages are awesome. You can make them in any size and shape that you like, and the bill is usually well under 100 bucks from a cage that would cost several thousand at that size. They are made from storage shelves, zip ties and plywood.

Bunnies are so darling, but I will never be able to have one, because I am horrendously allergic to both bunnies and kitties. My eyes get terribly itchy and resemble grape jelly laying there in the sockets. Eew, I know. It's the worst!! Very sad, but at least I have had zero allergic reaction to Kringle and Clausy, and I've made sure to touch my face and eyes after handling them and before washing my hands, just as an experiment and... nothing! Yay! I also have a wonderful 55-gallon fish tank that I get to enjoy, so I don't have to live pet-free. I'm grateful for that.

I love fish! While I was away at a dorm last year, I got a 5 gallon tank (I know it's small) but I was in a dorm so that was all I could fit. And I bred platys for the semester! I had like 15 babies at one time - but then I went home for winter break - the adults mostly lived but then at the end of the semester my aunt transported my fish to her house in her tank (a 3 hour drive) and they lived there for about 4 more months until the last one died off Now I have big beautiful goldfish and the tank is right next to Bonnie and Clyde's cage! My dad has a 20 gallon tank but his fish bore me lol
