Meet Nuget :)

Nuget is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to have a rabbit (Hazel) as a pet, she was such a sweet soul!

You can teach them lots of words. They are very smart. Jefferson would "kiss" on command and when I said "circus bunny" he would jump up on the logs outside. He knew "up". When I said "wheeeeee" he would do binkies. He understood "no" but quite often pretended he didn't. Many other words too.

I never had Jefferson castrated and unfortunately, he used to spray his favourite things with urine .... me and the dog especially, so I do recommend getting that done.

The Language of Lagomorphs is where I learned to speak rabbit. http://language.rabbitspeak.com/

I admit to being completely besotted.

He is adorable, busy!
Happy to hear he's going to have a great home. Sometimes I don't understand people. This is why I will never purchase a pet again.
Rescue is the way to go, God Bless, sounds like he's gonna fit right in

What a cutie! Thank you for giving him a home.

I am loving that so many people have had bunnies as pets. It warms my heart. They seem popular in Australia. Utah has gotten better over the last 12 years and our Humane Society does a great job now. But it is rough going, rescue is a hard thing to do.

I am so happy for Nuget! I have a feeling he is extra smart. :wink:

BG, I'm the head rabbit at our place but I think nobody told Ellie Bun this . Besotted here with buns too. Sometimes I think they're too smart - think they have to be, seeing they are at the bottom of the food chain in the wild.

What a sweetie!

I'd love a bunny, but sadly Queensland don't allow rabbits to be kept as pets

Hehe, I'm sure Ellie Bun knows when it suits her. I used to love it when Jefferson thumped the ground to warn me of danger (usually when an aeroplane was going over - big bird?) and then look over to me really worried that I wasn't running away.

I think they like it when your near, Ellie hates screaming cockies, but the lawn mower doesn't worry her anymore, probably got use to it. The thumping is cute, I know they're scared but I love it anyway.

Jenny your aeorplane comment has just helped me figure out why Nuget looks so sad when he is outside!

Some days he seemed fine, other days he always seemed to be sitting in his hutch and not going into the run, I thought he was lonely but today I watched him and every time a plane went over he freaked out and jumped back into his hutch. We live on a flight path, and depending on the weather and the day they can be quite low and quite frequent, with today being a Sunday and the day after an All Blacks game they seem to be every 1/2 hour.

Poor Nuget! I think he does think its a big bird

And I am sooo surprised at how many Bunny lovers there are on here

Also the scratching has stopped, I just said NO! a few times and then started to give him pats whenever he came up and he hasnt scratched or nibbled since.

I just brought him inside, he's at my feet asleep - a day in the garden hiding from giant birds is exhausting :wink:

 

[AmyW]

Major cute overload!!!

 

[Hazel]

He is so cute! I love the pic.

 

[Relle]

One contented rabbit and exhausted.

Its raining and cold here today and Ellie is inside, dh's friend is here and Ellie keeps throwing her ball with the bell in the air - guess who's not getting enough attention.

 

[serfmunke]

I cannot wait to get me, I mean my daughter a bunny rabbit. I love them! I had one when I was little and miss their fuzzy little noses. :wink:

 

[Bubbles Galore]

Now that's a relaxed and trusting bunny that feels safe.

 

[Soapy Gurl]

OMG! I just want to snuggle him and bury my face in his fur!
