Some of the most fun we ever had was when the boys were small and had pet bunny's. They had a huge box the bunny's lived in, until they figured out how to jump out. The dogs were told to leave them alone, but sometimes it was just too much for the pup, when a rabbit would set in front of the stove and clean himself like a cat. Pretty soon, off goes the pup and off goes the rabbit, around the stove and into the kitchen and into his box, with the pup in hot pursuit!. You'd hear, thump, bang, bang, whack, as the pup smacked himself into and on the sides of the metal stove, trying to get to the rabbits. Oh, and a lot of screaming from who ever was there, at the pup, to leave them rabbits alone! :lol: :lol:

It was great! They learned to use a box, just like a cat and sure weren't messy. Didn't have that cat stink either.

When they got to be older rabbits, we turned them loose at the old wood pile with the cotton tails. One old black rabbit made it for several years until we didn't see him anymore. They never seemed to cross with the cottontails. Lived on grass and any grain the cattle missed or left behind.

Wabbits is sooo cute! :wink:

As I mentioned before, bunnies don't have to be indoor pets. Montana Cowgurl brings him into her room once in awhile, he behaves himself well. If there are no pets allowed in the condo, why not keep it in a hutch outside? Besides, a good 4-H project! Montana Cowgurl's bunny won lots of Grand Champion ribbons in various categories, I think that rabbit is 8 or 9 yrs. old now, your grandson's bunny should live that long in time for your grandson to show him in Cloverbuds!! :D :D

I'll bet there was a hare in your supper, that night. :wink:

Spike Van Cleve tells about riding into an old bachelor's homestead one day at noon. Dinner was cooking, which consisted of a rabbit boiling in a pot of water. The rabbit was upside down in the water, with the feet still attached and sticking out the top of the pot. Spike asked the old feller why in the world he'd left the feet on the critter. "It works so good to stir with," was the reply. :? :wink: :)
