well 'he' is a she, sh was called abe (apparently the woman i got him off thinks he looks like abraham lincoln) , but as she isn't a boy bunny, that might have to change lol ...... she's currently in her hutch in the hallway, and the dog hasn't eaten her yet ...... she's used to cats, so hopefully that won't be a problem, well asbo might be but he'll have to get over it ...... she's a lionhead ...... and has a big fluffy mane ...... and she's gorgeous pics when i've rearranged the house to be bunny friendly.

[Bephlam]

Are these chickens going to be house chickens too??

[lynda66]

well as she appears to have taken over the sofa ....... i guess so ...... and the chicks erm well they will have to stay inside for erm a while till they are big chickies and won't get cold ..... so erm i guess it depends whether they learn to use a cat litter tray

Does that mean you're thinking of having two bunnies?! Sure I read somewhere that 2 bunnies together is bad.. (Not just from a mating point of view Summat about 'em fighting?)

It is a very cute bunny though But can't quite see the Abraham Lincoln thing myself

She's gorgeous! House-bunnies are brill. I had one for five years and he was a great character, very wise and friendly, I still miss him. Had to give him a penned off bit of living-room eventually tho -after everything got munched - but just beside the sofa so we could still communicate, and he used to run about on the patio during the day. Have you seen the language of lagomorphs? great site for learning rabbit-talk - The Language of Lagomorphs

With another rabbit they'd probably fight at first and then become best buddies, but if one's a baby and one an adult the fighting could be lethal, if there's any aggro it would be best not to let them loose together until the baby is grown. Rabbits use litter trays - not sure about chicks :-)

maybe i'll wait till the chook house is finished and they can all live together 2 young bunnies will live quite happily together, and be fine when they are older, i've even had males live together, but if a female comes along they will fight ...... when i was a kid, i had up to 127 bunnies at one time lol ..... they all free ranged in the garden and came into the cellar where they lived at night ..... the babies supplied local pet shops, which paid fro their food ......... anyway judging by the hysterics asbo has just had, maybe a second rabbit will give him a nervous breakdown.
