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:
