I am a new bunny owner.
Last April, my 10 year old wrote me a long letter about how he wanted a bunny. It would live in his room, he would take care of it...you know the rest. I told him we had some vacations planned, but we could talk about it again at the end of August.
His bunny desire didn't wane over the summer, so we went to the local shelter and adopted Thumper. Now, I knew going into it that Thumper was going to be my responsibility. He lives in the breakfast room and is absolutely adorable.
The 10 year old rapidly lost interest, but my five year old adores him. And more surprisingly, my HUSBAND is the one who pulls the bunny out to let him run around in the evenings, and lets Thumper sit on the couch while he's watching tv.
I never thought I'd be a bunny owner, but I have to admit, he is pretty darn cute. He seemed to be litter trained already, so that's been nice. He loves carrots, kale, and apples. He chewed through his first electrical cord, though, so we had to go and bunny-proof the few remaining cords he could reach. The only bad thing is that he likes to hide under the couch, so it's really hard to get him back in his cage once he's been out.
Here are a few pictures of our bunny.
