        The truth please.

        What do your S.O. or family members think of your rabbits?

        I will start. My bf is simply not a fan of rabbits. Any suggestions of their presence are strongly discouraged. But somehow  we manage by the premise of “live and let live”.  He does bring them vegetables so he provides very well for them as long as I do the actual feeding. Men are so complicated, almost like wabbits.

            I know the dogs love my boyfriend because of he eats cheese burgers and things like that. They can smell it. I wonder, mac, if your husband ate carrots and raisins or rubbed them on himself… would the rabbits trail after him affectionately??

              My hubby thinks Monkey is the most adorable thing ever. Of course, he whines that she hates him. Which she doesn’t, she’s just playing hard to get. I’ve been helping him out by letting him be the one to give her raisins lately

                It’s just me and my girls at my house. My youngest loves the bunnies, though she’s afraid of Marshmallow and Digger because they are a little cage aggressive, but my oldest doesn’t really care for them. She’d prefer it if we only had the dogs. Too bad for her that I pay the mortgage so I say how many animals we have. I most probably won’t get serious about a man until my herd has thinned out some. I don’t want to have to take what anyone else thinks into consideration when it comes to my animals.

                  My husband wanted a dog at first but he did like my first rabbit, Mickey.  We went up to the shelter to see Archie and I believe he fell in love after that.  He looooves rabbits now!  (You can tell from my posts about changing our cage layout all the time…it’s always his idea to make them a better home )  My family helped raised Mickey and so they love think the rabbits are cute.  My in-laws at first probably thought we were a little crazy for having a rabbit as a pet but my father-in-law probably thinks their cute (even though he might not say it hehe!) and I know my mother-in-law would have loved them (she is no longer with us and only seen Archie once I think).  I’m not sure what my brother-in-law and sister-in-law think of them, they’re more dog people and haven’t been around the rabbits to much.

                    My boyfriend had NO understanding of rabbits in the beginning, and thought that Calypso was really cute, but kind of stupid. I explained to him that obedience doesn’t necessarily mean intelligence. (He’s always been a dog person.) Also, he did a bit of research and can now see the bunnies’ point of view. lol. And he LOVES it when one of them comes over and hangs out with him. He gives them treats so that they’ll like him; it’s so cute.

                    The rest of my family thinks that the buns are adorable, but haven’t really spent enough time with them to appreciate their personalities. They kind of have that attitude that so many of us are familiar with… “why rabbits???”

                    Uh, because they’re pretty much just furry little happy pills!

                      My boyfriend just loves bunnies!! He says they make the best pets. I think because he had a rabbit as a child and when I moved in we got Valen and Valen immediately took to him, much to my dismay LOL! But Bailey and Lilly are “my” girls and favor me as does my dog! He greets me first, but really loves my boyfriend too, but I am secretly glad I am his and the bunnies favorite person…hehe!

                        well my mom loves the bunnies. she is fascinated by them. but my dad thinks they are “food not pets”. he calls them “it” or “the black one”. he doesn’t know their names or even try to care. it gets VERY annoying. but i know he sees them as something i love so he does keep them safe (for instance, max got out once and he got him back in his play pen and fixed the broken part).

                          My husband says rabbits make the best pets too! He adores our babies. We have no children and probably wont ever and my inlaws think they are their grandkids! They call to check up on them, we get surprise visits from them wanting to check on the buns and they bring them presents. lol Kinda strange but Im glad they love them and dont think they are strange. My side of the family asks about them but really could care less.

                          Someone at my husbands work wanted a rabbit for her little daughter and my husband had to come home and tell me how he educated this lady on how much work they are and whats required to care for a bunny- I was so proud! lol

                              My husband does not dislike the bunnies- but is not as “into them” as I am.  Except of course- Cotton- she is always cute and never does anything wrong enough to get mad at.  He is more neutral with Schroeder- thinks he is cute but is annoyed at the ritual it takes to put him back in his pen (we can just pick up the other 2).  Now Griffin is another story- Griffin annoys my husband because he is very “in your face” kinda bunny- the more my husband shoves Griff off his lap- the more Griff NEEDS to be on my hubby’s lap.  Griff has been terrible with his cage litter habits which does not help- though I clean that up and don’t ask hubby to get involved too much.  Griff just gets into everything- he hopped over the NIC cubes blocking off the entertainment center cords- but did not like it there- so hopped back out the other side.  LOL.  So even the innocent mischief drives him nuts. 

                              Griff was just neutered- so I think once he hits the point where the boy bunny whiff is gone, he improves on litter habits it will be better.  He just needs to get past his “terrible teenage” naughtiness.  Cotton went thru it- and is an awesome bunny now.

                              Fortunately for my husband he thinks Freya is just the cutest thing ever. My family is all in PA so they’ll likely never see Freya which is just as well I suppose. I send pictures to my mom who is a pet person and she always says how cute Freya is.  Most of my father’s family lives on the family farm and most are hunters. Rabbits aren’t pets, they’re food.  I don’t hold it against them, since they aren’t eating pet rabbits frankly I don’t care. My husband’s mother is always paranoid about Freya. Freya likes to leave a few poops by the door at the bottom of the stairs and if my mother-in-law notices she’ll just point out that she’s worried about my husband’s health… you know since he’s diabetic and there’s poop on the floor and…. omg SHUT UP!!!  It’s not like it’s dog or cat poop that’s wet and messy and filled with more bacteria than a human’s mouth. She doesn’t complain when the cat vomits on the furniture.  Heck, I just pick it up throw it out and wash my hands. I’ve decided to just not talk to her about Freya because she simply can’t get past her assumption that rabbits are horribly disease ridden beasts that aren’t meant to be pets in the first place unless they’re out back until you eat them. That’s about all our family. I don’t think we’ve mentioned it to my husband’s siblings, they all have kids and we don’t and probably can’t so Freya is our girl. No one seems to understand that an animal can fill the place in your heart just as easily as a child so I stopped trying to make them understand and just ignore them if they don’t. It matters what my husband thinks. Of course she’s HIS child when she’s bad and she’s mine when she’s good.  (Don’t tell him that, he thinks it’s the other way around.)

                                My boyfriend is technically co-owner of both my buns. He is pretty crazy about them, though will easily admit that I’m the bunny crazy one. Haha. He thinks I’ve become a bit obsessed which…may have a ring of truth to it He loves them though for sure! My extended family thinks it’s odd, especially since we are all dog people. They wondered at first if they were like cats (which I am horribly allergic to) but they aren’t like cats or any other animal, they are unique and I think my affection has caught on some. They are curious and amused by my bunny love, Hehe.

                                  My parents are flat out sick and tired of me bringing home animals, and they have been dealing with it my entire life. It runs in the family but I guess they grew out of it, but I am just like my dad’s mom. Grandma and I are just alike with our love of animals and she didn’t know when to stop, and I don’t either. I just got caught with the new bunny and my dad was pissed and made me cry while I was at work. My boyfriend doesn’t really get it, but he does like to give Bun craisins. My mom had said Bun was “oh so cute” when she was begging for craisins, but no one else really cares. It’s just me, but I am okay with that.

                                    and he comes back from the shop with bunched carrots and kale for her…so i think he just dosnt like to admit how

                                    He used to be the same when i had a guinea pig years ago, and yet he was the one in floods of tears when he died at
                                    the vet!

                                    My daughters only 2 and a half, she loves Lily, likes to feed her bits and bobs, and make her tunnels to go in. think shes
                                    also a little wary of her since she does nip sometimes, but they get along fine! my little girl kind of squeals if lily gets too much
                                    nipping her leg and Lily runs away so they have their own language lol!

                                        After a few of you said your parents considered them like grandkids, I forgot to mention that my mom will come up to them and talk to them. She asks how the “grandkids” are doing sometimes lol! We don’t have kids ‘yet’ but we might in the future but she knows for now that’s as close as she’ll get. And my husband also thinks they are the best pets

                                          My husband was not totally excited by the idea of getting a rabbit, but he knew I really wanted some kind of pet, so he finally agreed to it. Now that we’ve had Otto for a while, he’s totally in love! He can’t get enough of our little guy. He won’t let me get a second (or a foster) right now because our apartment isn’t that big, but he said once we have a house of our own I can get up to 4 bunnies!!  He agrees that we still want dogs some day, but we can also never be without a rabbit or two.

                                          Oh, and my parents love him and call him their “grand-bunny”. Lol We don’t have kids and probably won’t for a long time, so he’s as close as they’re gonna get for now  Also, they decided a few years ago not to get any more pets, but I think they really miss having animals around so they like to hear stories about Otto.

                                            It is good that your boyfriend is making an attempt at coming to know your bunny by bringing treats. It is a good sign that he is trying. My husband has always been supportive and is more so even now over my love of animals and pets and rescuing cats and animals like my Ziggy Piggy, my pet eyeless oppossum that the mother abandoned. Oppossums are so ugly,that they are cute and Ziggy was cute, in a funny way. I miss him so much. Dressing him up in my toy poddles doggie sweaters was really funny! He let me bath and blow dry him and he would lick my hand in exchange grooming. My husband is especially attached to our handicapped spina bifida kitty named Sasha and I tried to attach a picture of him and her as our kitties love to lay on his big belly and use it like a big hot water bottle. His belly is comforting to them for them to lay on every evening and they all compete to be the first one to lay on his tummy and it is very funny. Until we move, he is not here everynight and his abscence upets them. He is home this weekend and so they are all over him. He never used to be that way. He grew more and more attached to pets as time went on. I even call my daughter and her husbands pet kitty, my “grandkitty”. Animals have such a good spiritual perception and discernment of human beings too if they are good or evil.

                                              Desma, I have never heard of anyone keeping a pet oppossum. How big was he? How long did he live? Where did you keep him? What did you feed him? Did he need shots for rabies? Just tell me more please.

                                                I didn’t know anything about oppossums because I did not have a computer at that time to look up information. Since I knew that they liked to come on porches and eat cat or dog food, I purreed dryed catfood in warm water and mashed it up and put it in a feeding tube and he loved it. He also loved scrambled eggs and fish sticks. I didn’t know it was against the law to have an oppossum and that you had to be liscenced to own one when a California fish and game person stopped when when I was taking a walk with him on my shoulders. When he seen that Ziggy had not eyes, he said that oppossum was better off with me and he did not turn me in. He lived to be five years old. They do not live long in captivity at all, only a couple years but I was told by a vet that knew all about oppossums that even though I had fed him a dangerous diet, he was very healthy and had the most beautiful fur coat that he had even seen on an oppossum before. They are omniviourous and can eat fruits and veggies too but he preferred my diet. He loved cheetos and would die for cheetos. You can join a “national oppossum socieity” that they have now that has tons for information about them and rescuing them. They actually make wonderful pets.

                                                  My mom doesnt really let on to me that she likes them.  But I ran into a coworker of her’s and she told me how cute she thought my bunnies were.  Which means my mom has pictures of them and shows her friends at work lol!  One thing I know she loves is to sweet talk Hammer and stick her nose in his face becuase then he will give kisses, and she enjoys that.  And at the vet yesterday it was so funny, I was cleary the owner and the vet saw that and directed her questions at me.  But everytime my mom thought she knew the answer she chimmed in with “we” do this, or “we” think that.  Several times I had to stop her, correct her and explain again to the vet.  My dads doesnt know they exist, pets are just something he finds annoying.  My stepmom used to ask without really caring how they were, but she saw their pens a while back and was disgusted I think.  Has said one word about them since.  My little sister loves them and gives them a treat every week.

                                                    J was very skeptical when I first brought up the idea of getting bunnies.
                                                    It did not take long for him to love them!
                                                    He loves that they sit under his chair at the desk and head butt his feet all day (when he is home).
                                                    He loves that they put their paws on his knee to beg for treats.
                                                    He especially loves when they zoom and binky!!!

                                                    Here he is giving them cookies:

                                                      My mom tolerates them until she gets mad then she tells me they have to go I take a fit and they stay (yes I throw on my 3 year old temper tantrum and pitch a giant fit). But then 2 seconds later she is cooing over them and feeding (overfeeding) them treats.

                                                      My stepfather could care less as long as he doesn’t have to buy anything for them.

                                                      My sister LOVES them as long as they are in the cage since she is afraid they will bite her lol.

                                                      The extended family thinks I am insane to have rabbits in the house and not outside.

                                                      This goes the same for all of my animals they all know that is one way to get me to do what they want is just threaten me with the removal of my animals.

                                                      Me and my dad (not my stepfather) are the only animal lovers in the family if I had the time space and money non animal lovers would never want to step foot in my house or yard LOL

                                                        When Mimzy and his two compatriots first appeared at my husband’s place of business, I figured we were going to try to humanely catch them and turn them over to the shelter because I didn’t think this was the kind of pet the hubby would even consider. For that matter, I hadn’t considered it. We already had several dogs and cats at the time and it just didn’t seem feasible.
                                                        Oh, how the bunnies would come running when he’d drive up (of course you can’t see those adorable floppy ears coming at you and not want to feed them) and he’d give them some carrots and lettuce and then they’d lounge out in the shade near the buildings where he could sit and see them! Well…let’s just say the more they responded to him, the more adorable they got. And my husband is one of those kind of (no pun intended) “animal magnetism” kind of people that he gets on well with strange dogs, cats, horses, goats…heck, he even talked a grizzly out of attacking him many years ago (according to him.)
                                                        We just started talking more and more about bringing one home. That one turned out to be Mimzy.
                                                        The hard part (I thought) was going to be bringing him indoors before snow hit. But it turned out that the hubby had that in mind already…so that’s what we did. He has never complained about them at all, that I can recollect…with the exception of fur floating, which could be said for any of our animals. He is just a hair magnet and gets it caught in his eyes and that makes him crabby.
                                                        Now since seeing so many of the animals we had back then pass, plus the economy, plus lots of other reasons, he doesn’t want me bringing any more home. I can kind of see his point, since it is so hard to say goodbye. Plus Mimzy doesn’t have the affinity for him that he used to have when we all first met…but he’s not jealous about it. He gets all the attention he wants (and moreso) from the dogs and our feral kitty, who prefers him above anyone else in the family as companion. But I do see that little bit of droop in his face when Mimzy will run and hide from him. Without him, however, I would not have been able to give the antibiotic injections Mimzy needed this summer to fight off branhamella because I am too squeamish about needles…especially when they are going into one of my rabbits. So if he’s begrudging bringing him home, I’m not seeing it. His bedside manner is olympic! (He did take care of a horse stable that belonged to his grandfather when he was a lad, so that must be where he gets it from.)

                                                        My daughter loves them dearly, of course. My son would like to befriend them (at least he did while he was here) but he’s not the gentlest of people, so I really discouraged his interaction with them. In fact I am opposed to him having pets at all until he’s matured significantly…for the animal’s sakes.
                                                        Me, well…you guys have seen how I swoon over every new addition on the boards. A bunny can knock me over with a feather and I’d do anything to have more. But right now, I have to be happy with who I’m slave to as is. And if my family resents the time I spend with my bunnies, well, no one’s saying anything.
                                                        The hubby sees that they make me happy. I guess that’s enough for him.

                                                          Hmm. MM I think you’re putting a skewed interpretation on your hubby’s reactions. I don’t think he is regretting bringing Mimzy home at all.
                                                          I think he needs more bonding time again.

                                                          I would encourage you to encourage him to start a regimen of treats and playtime alone with Mimzy. I think he’s lonesome and needs his Mimzy pets.
                                                          You can spend a bit more quality time with Fiver and Pip.

                                                              Aw come on you guys…Mimzy already loves my daughter more than he does me. All this rejection! *sniffle* I…can’t take it….WAAAHHH!!! *cries*
                                                              It’s funny, the buns have switched roles in that Pip was her bunny and Mimzy was my bunny and now each likes to be petted by the other human more. What exactly is up with THAT?

                                                              I’ve GOT to get you guys the picture of Pip’s ‘bunny smile’ that she gets on whenever I’m giving a noserub. It’s too cute. Don’t let me forget.

                                                                    Also, my boyf is absolutely in LOVE with Felony. When we have to leave for the night, and leave Fel at home, as soon as we walk into the door, he starst with the ‘Fel, buddy, where are you? I missed you so much! You want some pineapple?’ and then he’ll pick him up and give him kisses….. It’s ridiculous.

To show how loving and friendly my opposum was, here is a picture of Ziggy sitting on my brother’s shoulders. My brother Byron thought he was one of the most fantastic pets. He would sit at the table with us on a chair of his own and eat with us. He would sit with his mouth open on the back of the couch and drool and my daughter Marissa would crack up laughing because he looked so comical. Seeing his yawn was spectacular as his mouth would stretch open like an acordian and would show all 50 of his teeth. By the way, oppossum jaws are so strong that they can break a wooden broom handle in half with a single chomp.

When I lived in Ontario there was a possum hanging in a tree in my yard a lot and I would watch him, he never seemed to move. Sometimes there was snow on him, I thought he had to be freezing. Their coat looks kind of sparse.
                                                                        The thing that I can’t get used to is their strange feet. I didn’t even know they were marsupials. In my head now I have this idea of a creature that is half raccoon and half kangaroo.

We were at a point on the first date where it could go one way or another and that’s when she saw a pic of my bun on my cell phone. She showed me her bun’s pic on hers and that’s how we wound up continuing this 5 year relationship.

My S.O. did not want pets of any kind, after several months of begging, I adopted Arduina. At first he was quite skeptical, but after he saw how well behaved, sweet and friendly she was, he fell in love. So as long as he doesn’t have to have any bunny responsibility (cleaning the litter box, scheduled feeding) he is happy. He does love to scratch her nose until she flops on his feet. And he says he is her favorite (I think I’m her old hat).

He was only really used to having cats (which he really adores) So moogle was going to be strictly my bunny. Turns out tho… moogle LOVES his daddy-man. It’s the cutest thing now. He hops up onto the bed and just lies on SO’s chest snuggling up to him and giving him kisses   The only one in the family who has a  bit of an issue actually is Maro (the kitty) and that’s just cause she’s horribly jealous. We’re working on it

                                                                                    For instance I’ve caught him cuddling Rupert on the couch before. And when we got Kahlua he wondered why anyone would get a bunny other then a lionhead. He thought she was awesome. He says I could not possibly get a more useless pet then Chuck-jokinly…he tells all his friends about my Hellen Keller bunny. And like I mentioned before, he once chased a wild jack rabbit around thinking it was a loose house bunny-sooooo it’s a toss up

                                                                                    For right now-he’s really caught up on Mikey (the dog) but does like the bunnies. He doesn’t care that much though (he was torn up when Kokanee died though-we were both VERY close with her) and certainly doesn’t help with chores or expenses concerning them.

He doesn’t see them too often now since I switched rooms, but before when I had the upstairs, he’d come up and lay down on the floor and call Dallas(before I had Duncan), and act like he was a dog! Hahah, he’d pat his hand on the floor going “Dallas! Daaallas! Come here buddy!” He loves that they are quiet and sweet and funny.

                                                                                      My mom thinks they’re the most adorable things, ever. In fact, just today I left my door open(purposefully) and the boys came rushing out and she goes “Dallas! Duncan!! Man. They are just so cute. I don’t know how any COULDN’T love bunnies. I mean, how could you not love them??!”
                                                                                      They helped her case by being adorable and slipping and sliding into the kitchen on the linoleum like it was an ice skating rink! lol. My mom also loves when they binky, she thinks it’s the best thing since sliced bread. She’ll watch them for forever waiting for them to binky, and she gets so excited when they do!!

My 21yr old sister has seen them during the 2 times she’s visited, and she loves them but isn’t bun-crazy or anything.
