I have four rabbits and they all have completely different personality's, I haven't treated any of them any different, I have one that growls if you try to move it for example trying to get it back in its hutch and run after a long run in the garden, another that will only come and say hello when she wants to. I also have one that won't stop licking me and one that loves cuddles the rest don't like to be picked up. Rabbits need a large hutch and run my rabbits have a large hutch and a six foot square run each, which is connected to the hutch so they can go in and out when they please. (the larger the better) A lot of people say you should get the ...  Read the complete review

I've had pet rabbits since I can remember, I've had about 15 now sometimes 3 at a time, I think they make great pets because they are so calm and loving, plus the fact that they're covered in fur which makes them very attractive to children. At the moment I only have one rabbit, she is white and pale brown with a grey nose. She's a lop-eared dwarf so her ears hang down either side of her face.

They scare away the birds that I spend hard earned cash trying to attract, or worse still they catch them (I know it is only natural!) Can we have a Terrapin, a chipmunk, a snake, a parrot, a goat, a pony, a puma? NOOOOO! Help was at hand ...  Read the complete review

Barney came to live with us just over a year ago from an unwanted litter of eight. This was my first experience of having pets, and from the start I wanted to keep him as a house rabbit. Prior to getting Barney home we spent some time rabbit proofing the areas we were ultimatey going to allow him access to. Initially this was the dining room, hall, landing and lounge. Rabbits tend to nibble low hanging wires, and will chew on anything made from cardboard, paper or wicker. The first week was spent litter training and bonding with your rabbit. You have to ensure that they are restricted to a fairly small area, where their food, water and litter tray - ...  Read the complete review
