› FORUM › THE LOUNGE › Banana for scale! (bunny size photos)
Hi everyone,
Inspired by my other thread, just for some silly fun, let’s post pics of our bunnies with bananas for scale. Or anything else that makes your bunnies look ridiculously large or tiny.
I’ll get us started… *hint: true, my bunnies are small (1.75lbs) but this banana is also gigantic*
PS – For those who are unaware, there is a long-running internet joke/meme about bananas for scale (being that, of course, they vary dramatically and are completely unreliable for size reference). http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/banana-for-scale
Lol. Fun thread idea. (I just read through your thread where this originated. I don’t know if it would be possible for me to take pic of mine next to banana without them dragging it off to devour!) I’ll put them on my shopping list though. Looking forward to seeing more pics.
Welcome by the way. Beautiful bun-buns you’ve got there. We had a member here that used to post regularly, that had Tan bunnies. So we got an idea of how active and mischievous they can be!
Mango: Cute buns! As I told Vienna in her thread, this is a really fun idea, so I’ll pop down to the little shop next door as soon as I get home from work and pick up a banana and a can of coke and then try to take some pictures before Chewie has his way with both grocery items.
P.S. Toronto! I live in Kuwait now, but used to live in Toronto back in the day. ![]()
Great idea =) How wonderfully silly! And your buns are so beautiful! I have bananas. Now must catch a rabbit. (I have rabbits, but they’re a lot more mobile than the bananas).
Q8, I LOVE your siggy!
Thanks, Bam.
It’s a slow day at work. ![]()
Here’s Bam. He’s about 1,5 banana long. He looks longer on the second pic but that’s just the angle.


Just so this photo is on the right thread ……

Come on you Flemmies out there… you gotta be able to beat that !! ![]()
Aren’t those three out of a packet of the mini bananas they sell for school lunchboxes ![]()
What a cute banana sized bunnies!
And here are Redford and Bianca. And yes somehow we have started bounding without me ever noticing it.


P.S. This looks like more of a challenge mode, all those bananas so close to bunnies…
As far as I can see only Bam here is well behaved bun for now .
Bam has never had banana so he doesn’t know what it is ![]()
I don’t have any bananas… ![]()
Woo! Just picked up some bananas today!
Niamian-I assume your white bunny is Bianca? She is so precious, reminds me so much of my past bunny, Bella.
Redford is quite the looker as well. ![]()
So many cute banana-hugging buns!
Niamian: Redford and Bianca are positively squishy. No bias at all. : P
It looks like Chewie is approximately one and a half bananas long…

Q8, that is a parshnip! Isn’t that cheating? How are we supposed to know the size of Chewie when you compare him to a root veggie???

Bam, I have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s not like the little convenience shop downstairs would just so happen to be out of bananas and the only fruit I have in the fridge are oranges and diced pineapple… That would be absurd!
Q8, a parshnip might actually be even better for measuring than a banana, since a parshnip keeps for a very long time if stored cool and dark. You can bring out the parshnip once a month and re-measure the bun, as an excellent and very practical way to keep an eye on your bunny’s figure. Can’t do that with a banana!
Lol ! Love how the measuring tool is being randomly switched in these photo threads.
The bananas at the store were all green.
I thought it would be cruel to take photo of buns next to a banana they couldn’t eat. I do have banana chips…. But there is NO CHANCE they’d last before I could take a photo. lol
Lol @Q8bunny. Nice touch with the parsnip. I’m gonna try and get a banana pic, but Thor LOVES them. He pulls the peels out of the bin, and has also successfully stolen them from my chihuahua, Lil Bear. They got into a tug of war over it, so fingers crossed.
The shelter said he loved bananas, so I am not responsible for his addiction.
LOL I don’t know, Bam… I’m pretty sure Chewie would sacrifice his girlish figure for some parsnip *nomnomnom* ![]()
…And parsnip is spelled parsnip. Sorry about that! ![]()
I like the way you spelled it. It’s like how Sean Connery would say it!
Mmm… Sean Connery… ![]()
