Please watch this if you are thinking about breeding your pet for profit! PLEASE spay and neuter your pets. Let them be a family member, and not your source of income.

Starby, I know this thread is about dogs but you know me, I looked on the Edmonton Humane society webpage and of course I checked out the bunny babies. I'm posting a few of them here, if you don't want me to let me know, I'll delete it, start a new thread. K?

Attachment 16872

Amigo was adopted, but then returned for biting when being held on someone's lap. This type of behaviour is common in young adolescent male rabbits. Rabbits tend to feel most comfortable when on the ground, and can be fearful when on laps, or when held. Amigo needs a home that is willing to interact with him only at his level on the floor. People should let this rabbit approach them and not force interactions. Because of Amigo's history, he may do better in a home with older teenage children, or adults only. See the house rabbit society website for additional information and special tips for dealing with rabbits that bite. House Rabbit Society Rabbit Care Guide

Please consider giving Amigo a second chance!

Attachment 16873

Benjamin loves to dig and is very curious.


Attachment 16874

Volunteer comment: Timmy is very shy and likes to cuddle with his head tucked into your arm. He loves to explore and is very curious.

Attachment 16875

Hi, my name is Star and I have been here since October 20! I may seem a little nervous but I am a friendly little bunny who enjoys a good cuddle.

Rabbits are wonderful pets if you know how to care for them and handle them. Hopefully someone will give these little fur baby's a second chance at a forever home. I already have 4, trust me, if hubby would agree I'd be going there right now to adopt another, I'm thinking it would be Amigo, I know I could turn him around, I've dealt with tougher cases then him, Kilala and Thumper were both extremely difficult bunnies when we first adopted them, now they're both cuddle bunnies.

I want Amigo, I really do. Wiggy's in school right now, so we don't have extra money, but, I talked to him. If Amigo is still there in a month, well, he's coming to live with me.

Am I crazy? Don't answer that.

There's no limit on bunnies, I can own a whole herd of bunnies, as long as I keep them clean, well housed, healthy (which I do) I can have as many as I want. Okay, I realize that my house is cramped, I have too many "pets" already, but look at Amigo, he'll likely not get a second chance because now he's been labeled a "biter". I know I can give him a good home, love, a second chance, how can I walk away?

Darnit, why do I look at the adoptable animals? Why? I never learn.

Looking for cheap useed bunny cages, yup, you can't stop me!

Hey, idea. Starby, you only have 1 dog, why not adopt a little beagle puppy and a bunny? Come on, you know you want to!

I've got no room for bunny cages! But yes, you know I want to get a buddy for Nik. I'm trying not to look at the shelter pics for now, because I can't do it with my leg for at least another month for one thing. I also want to make sure I'm able to afford and take care of two after that's healed...and well...you know the other stuff. Lol If I could, I would gather them up and bring them all here to live with me!

Oh my goodness! Amigo is an absolute doll! I love lops. The best rabbit I ever had was a lop. Her name was Serendipity, Sera for short. Good thing I'm not seeing him in person or else I'd of carted him off already!

I could drive him over to you Silver, heck, I'll even litter train him first and get him used to humans. Just say the word, I'll zip off to the humane society right now.

I've actually never had a lop eared. I have a rex, a lionhead dwarf, a lionhead/harlequin mix and a unknown breed aka Bunny rabbit.

Lionhead dwarfs are extremely easy going, very tame, but I've had friends with lops that say that they're the easiest breed around.

I've never had a bunny that couldn't be "tamed". Our thumper was a troubled being when we got him, had been re-homed more times than most, had spent time on the streets fending for himself. The person that adopted him and then returned him did so because he fought with her other rabbit. He's a big love, my cuddle bunny, he just doesn't like other rabbits. He sits on my lap and watches tv with me. He likes to nibble on things so he has an old towel that's just his, he sits on that while he's on my lap, otherwise I wouldn't have any clothes without holes in them. He's a big sweetie. Want to see a picture? Okay, twist my rubber arm.

Attachment 16879

That's my little "troublemaker" Thumper. He's in his forever home, happy as can be.

Aw, he's a doll. Our current rabbit Petri can be difficult himself. He kind of only likes me for some unknown reason. He's a mix breed , half dutch/half lop. When he as younger one ear was floppy.
