A Bunny for majspud

That was at our old house. It was the first time the two met...at the time the cat was 18 pounds and the rabbit 14. She's fluffy. The rabbits are free range on the second floor here now...the cats stop by to visit and steal the bunny's hay, which they promptly throw up downstairs.

No bunnies in my backyard......just this little guy
I went out to start my elecric smoker on the deck saturday morning for a pork butt.
He was 20 feet off my deck looking at me looking at him.

do you throw scraps out for Mr. Bear or is that inviting disaster?

That would be inviting disaster. . People used to drop their backpacks and run in the Adirondacks. Bears equated people with backpacks of food. They lost their fear of humans and started to do false charges to get the backpack. If the false charges stopped working you can guess what’s next

The actual culprit at my house was leaving bird feeders out too far into spring past hibernation. I was working on my Smoker on the deck. and the sound of him crunching on the plastic feeder is what let me know he was there
 
Sorry to hear of your loss. While many of us are not that familiar with rabbits as pets, they ARE members of the family just like any other pet.
 
Montage.

It seems down here in Texas Farm/Feed stores you can get chicklets and bunnies.

Seems we are dealing with a blood virus that killed the first rabbit and now has paralyzed the two Flemish Giants. This was a dormant virus that can activate during stress. Deafness was a symptom; first bunny was deaf. These three bunnies came from a breeder in Maine; they all lived outside. Have been medicating them orally, and daily baths for cleaning and urine scalding as they lay in their own mess and can't clean themselves. Have resorted to hiding their meds in candy corn. If they don't improve in the next week or two, we'll have to consider letting them go, as their quality of life sucks.

Not really. Trying to stop and regress the paralysis, but not really hopeful. They eat well, but can’t move well.
