› Forum › THE LOUNGE › Do you have a wish list?
Do you have any plans on adding a new bunny to your home? Or has there been something you’ve been waiting for?
I have plans to add a holland lop, doesn’t have to be anytime soon, but I would absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a harlequin or a heavily marked tri-color. I check the shelters regularly (online) and the classified ads.
I just love them so much, I even have names going through my head all the time, lol.
So is there something you would just LOVE to have?
Rachel! Quick! Hide Frankie!!!
Can Frankie be hidden? Is he not a force of nature?
Ohhhhhhh there’s one here?!?!?!?!
*going searching for Frankie* Muahahahahaha
I’d like another bunny sometime. I’d also like to get Lolli another castle. lol
IIIIIIIIIIIIIII found him!!! And he’s absolutely perfect.
*Looking for my bunny napping purse and gonna have to get a passport, LOL*
Awwwww bun napping
I am about to move into an apartment and going to start school in February/March, so it isn’t going to be happening anytime soon
I’d like to get a bunny from a shelter. Either a dwarf, mix dwarf, or a dutch.
But it really is up to my bunny if she wants anything to do with ’em.
I’d love to have another bun, but unfortunately, my pair would in no way, shape or form tolerate a third. I have no interest in a second bunny habitat to clean, separate playtimes, and the risk that my pair’s bond would break by the presence of a stranger in the house… so unless a trio somehow magically happened with absolutely no bonding at all on my part, no other bunnies for me.
At least until the far, far future. I have certain breeds of buns in mind I’d love to have, but I know that whichever bun or bunnies I pick (or picks me) will be from a rabbit rescue.
I would LOVE to get one of the large breed bunnies one day. However, that’s probably several years in the future. I just think they’re gorgeous, plus – who wouldn’t love giant binkies?! lol
Giant binkies is right, I was laying on the floor last night and I got a VERY close up of Pickles (flemish giant) feet flying in the air in front of my face, hahaha my heart went pitter patter, that’s for sure!
And boy can he can jump high!!
Actually, I think I’m good! I don’t think I ever wanted a particular breed – I basically have ended up with rescues from shelters that I fostered and never got adopted. So they are now mine. I can say, I don’t want a long haired rabbit though…the few I’ve fostered I’ve found to be a lot more maintenance than I can handle although they were beautiful rabbits, the high maintenance grooming was just not for me…
Can I just keep my rabbits forever and ever?
I have no plans to get another bun anytime soon. But I would love to have a Felmish Giant, Palomino, Rex, Harlequin, Silver Marten, English Lop, French Angora, etc. Lol hmmm I would like to have one of each breed please =D but someone else can clean up after them LOL
I’m with you grumpybun, my first wish would be to have my 2 feisty girls, Hershey and Lola back forever.
Should I hide Stormy? Is my Harlequin in danger of being bun-napped? Lol, I think if any possible bun-napper stuck their hands in his cage they would change their mind!!!
I would love a Flemish Giant but 3 is plenty. They take up so much of my time and money already! My bf has a rule anyway: no more than 20 lbs of bunneh at one time.
My bunny-related wish list is to have all three of my buns in matching cube condos by the end of the month. Long-term is to get rid of my rabbit room carpet.
I love the rexes and my need for them is completely met with my three. I do not want any rabbit bigger than Deirdra even though she is not a giant.
I would like an angora rabbit though. I think I am over Mops passing and I don’t blame myself any more. Now I just miss the long hair beside my rexes. My problem is that I have four and it should really be enough.
YES you should hide Stormy!!! NOOOOOOOO wait, of course you shouldn’t hide Stormy, if you hide him then it will make it harder fr me to find him, LOL and you’re only 3 hrs away from me, I can easy bunny nap him, hehehe
Seriously though, where did you get him?

Completely misread that and thought you were colour coordinating bun to condo. Couldn’t work out how you were going to manage that with a harlequin.
She’d have to use some of that camoflouge paint to match that one.
Monkeybun,
You might as well go pick him up, because he’s got your name written all over him…..
He is adorable,t hats for sure. At the end of the month I start volunteering for OHS too Think of all the bunnies I can snuggle…
… I knew i shouldn’t of opened this thread..
in order from fave to least fav
1. flemish giant / checkered giant
2. english spot
3. lops (any breed)
4. nethie
5. polish
6. american sable
7. rex
:p
I’m actually very happy with my bonded pair for now. I don’t want to bring any more rabbits into the house until I can fully pay for their food and vet bills.
Here’s a list of my favorite breeds, in no particular order:
1. Britannia Petite
2. Florida White
3. American
4. Californian
5. Thrianta
6. Tan
7. Giant Chinchilla
I don’t have any favorite breeds, but my dream would be in a few years to sell my house and move back to the farm (unfortunately Carl won’t have any part of this, he likes where we live now), and use our barn which is completely enclosed to set up a bunny rescue. I think it would work in that location, it’s only 25 minutes from the city, and close to rabbit breeders too. Grrrrr.
And then I can live in my big ole house there with all the rolling hills framing the wide sunburnt paddocks, and pick up my ostriches, get them a male, and live happily ever after saving bunnies. Coz SA rabbit rescue is moving 3 hours away so we need a new rescue in Adelaide.
Aww monkey bun!
*plots moving to Australia to live with kafrn and lots of bunnies*
Do you have any plans on adding a new bunny to your home?
“Does a bear……”
I am always wanting more. I don’t know when of if that will happen but am certainly open to more. I do have some reservation about any addition effecting my current pair though. There are always ones on my radar and I am constantly coming up with rabbits names.
As to breed/colour, I don’t really care. I think it’d be more of right bunny right time. I am drawn to some of the special needs rabbits too, I don’t know why. Hopefully one day i’d be able to financially support that.
@Kafrn, sign me up as a volunteer!
I know where to look if my Frankie suddenly goes missing
Y’all always crack me up ^_^
JG, I am drawn to special needs bunnies too. They are all special, and I needs them
This thread is very dangerous. It allows members to fantasize about the possibilities… oh the possibilities! LOL
Seriously, Petzy! I was trying to think of what to put, but I love em all! I will probably adopt a REW as my next bunny just because I know they tend to sit in shelters longer. But I would love something tiny and fluffy (Ruby!) or a flemmie. Flemmies just have the neatest temperaments. Maybe I can luck out and get both worlds with a REW flemmie like Pickles! Jealous
Pickles is an AWESOME bunny, he is seriously like a dog, not a rabbit.
Ohhhh I forgot about the English Lops, I LOVE LOVE LOVE E-lops and I don’t think I’ve seen any on here??
I wish I had a HUGE house and was a millionaire, I swear I would have one of everything, LOL
My fantasy bunny is an angora. I’m pretty sure that will be my next bunny, but not for another 10 years or so. If I brought in a 5th bunny my husband would probably have a stroke.
you’re right, this is a very dangerous thread…… 😉
My favorite breed is the one that’s never had a home, like my Hershey was. She was born and lived her first 5-6 years at a wonderful sanctuary, but it was still in a large cage. Bringing her home and watching her take over the house in such an entitled way was a great treat, as it was also with Lola (who’d had several homes)
If I could not get so attached to them, I’d love to have a room just for seniors like that.
yes.. the possibilities…
i’m mulling over moving in with my sister (23) and her fiance (23) , they have a huge apartment and are planning on moving to a bigger one, they live in a rural area (lots of farms within walking distance + me = job (y)) and i’ll be a 4 hour away from my mom so i’ll have my girls spayed, then i’ll deffinatly get a third. I wont have to pay for rent or food, my sister and i are the same size so clothes arnt a problem. 3 incomes and a 2 bed room apartment ($715.00/month) for 3 people who dont need much to begin with… lots of extra money, so the girls will be looked after, plus pellets/hay/bedding is wicked cheap there, same as vet care. they’ll have an outdoor run they can play in in the summer, and will live indoors.
Sounds like an oppertunity to me
tnis is a VERY bad post. lol!
Ohhhh this is my thread lol what a cool idea!!!
YES I’d be a world famous Zoo if allowed
Like most-there are NO real plans to expand at all. Mikey would not tolerate another dog-ok scratch that-he would tolerate the dog. I don’t want him to tolerate anything-I want to be his dream home. Same with the bunnies-I don’t want to spend less time with them. I love love love being able to spoil my pets rotten and I don’t want to worry about vet bills ruining me-so for now, three rabbits a guinea pig, an amazing dog and even a spoiled beta fish in a ten gallon-that’s it! And of course, I want to only adopt so wishes are just that….
Now unrealistically onto my *WISH* list
Tricolored dutch-scratch that…a HERD of tri colored dutch. Dutch are my absolute fav, for obvious reasons, Kokanee stole my heart and then some! There is the intelligence that I’ve just never seen in another rabbit…and I’m big on tri color (No one’s noticed that right?) lol
A german/continental giant-I want a bunny who is almost as big as my dog. Free ranging with my dog. That would be so cool (hey! This IS a wish list lol)
I want a rex….a harlequin rex
A holland-again for obvious reasons…they are just so sweet looking and of course in my experience….just plain sweet.
I’d love a special needs pair…that may actually happen one day
OK and going on…
A red doberman…I love dobies. One day.
A few huskies-again…obvious reasons lol-but I’d love a dog pack so why not have a few huskies.
A bulldog-they are also sooo cool-just great little characters.
Irish wolfhound, several border collies-a tri colored and I’d like a red one too.
Onto the horses…I’d like an off the track thoroughbred, a off the track standard bred, a couple of arabs and a few warmbloods (Dream big Lesley) I always hated grays but they grew on me-so a dapple gray in there for sure and at least one real black…the rest can be bay or chestnut that’s fine lol
A llama and a donkey and at least two cows and maybe one buffalo. I won’t go into exotics like a red panda, dolphins etc..
Heheeheh

Monkeybun,
You might as well go pick him up, because he’s got your name written all over him…..
Is that a silver marten? or silver fox?
Silver marten
I can see some BROWN on its neck That is a typical otter marking!!!
I like the black hook on the chin Awwws!
Anyone here have a wish list for which other BBers’ bunnies you’d bun-nap first?
I do!
1. Sarita’s Bobby
2. Peppypoo’s Peppy
3. Petzy’s Neigey
4. Monkeybun’s Monkey
5. (dig)x(me)x(now)’s Frankie
6. KokaneeandKahlua’s Rupert
7. Both of Jerseygirl’s bunnies
Don’t worry, though. I would never steal your bunnies! *hides raisins, butterfly net and bunny carriers behind back*
Maybe a small list:
BB’s Jack
Momto3boy’s Pickles
LPT: all 3
Petzy: all 4
Bunbun’s Lolli
Mimzmum: all 3
I could prob go on and on…
FRANKIE!!!
And I know there’s soooo many more but I’m still learning people’s names and what buns belong to who (haha that can almost sound dirty, LOL)
Stick around, you’ll learn who has who… We are a very tight-knit community, lots of members are registered but there are not too many regulars. Some members have been here almost since the beginning!
Oh I’m pretty sure you guys are stuck with me, LOL
I love it here!
We have a tri-color holland in my local shelter! You can come and pick her up 😉
I’m honestly very happy with two. Part of me would love to add another holland, but I stressed enough about bonding two so I don’t think I’m up for a trio. I wouldn’t want a separate pair either because I love how easy our guys are – adding more bunnies would just cause so much more work for us I think.
Right now the plan is to get another male holland when these guys are gone, then decide on what to do for a second bun. I’d love to get a flemmie or one of many beautiful breeds, but I think we’ll always have lops!
Britt – that little boy was definitely a silver marten. he had a tiny bit of tan at the edge of the fur where it goes from teh black to the silver, but the main part was silver.
He got adopted, so I cant have him
Guess I’ll just bunnynap everyone elses buns now
Oh noes Monkey!
I want saritas bobby bunny. He’s so teeny tiny. And gray.

Every time I see images or hear what Zeus has been up to I keep thinking “gimme gimme gimme”.

Dogs too? Ok, i’ll take a Dane and a Maremma. Perhaps an Irish Terrier also.
On the bun front, there is a certain little mini rex that’s floating around my head. My wish would be to go get him if he’s still at the feed store and then get him a little friend. 2 pairs, living harmoniously without territorial littering ………Yeah right!
@Monkeybun, there’s plenty of other ones that need adoption. Such as this pair.
@Animal Friends of the Valleys.
If we’re going dogs and horses my list gets longer!
brittany (we do plan to get one as soon as we buy a house)
border collie
flat coated retriever
duck tolling retriever
mastiff
newfoundland
great dane
bernese mountain dog
Horses:
warmblood
irish sport horse or irish draught
TB
Favorite color is bay – I’m a traditional English girl 😛 though I’ll take some black, chestnut, or grey too.
I would also loooove to have some farm animals if we ever have land. Specifically:
miniature donkey
cow (some kind of dairy cow)
sheep (love sheep!)
Jerseygirl, that’s naughty! I want that pair!
Duck Tolling Retrivers i find often smell very bad.
I’m not fond of the bay colour, but i’m too obsessed with horses to really care. lol.
Sigh, I want my Benny back. That’s number one on my dog wishlist.
But since that’s not happening, I really love English bulldogs. We would both love to have one, but I’m iffy on how they’d be with a bun as they’re not the most trainable. Other than that, I love big dogs (shepherds and retrievers, preferably mixes). Altho my parents have a little Yorkie who is just the cutest thing ever…

Do you have to buy her bunny seperately?
If we can wish for things besides bunnies, I want a pet squirrel and a pink betta fish.
I have no desire to get a cat or a dog but if I did, I would get a French Bulldog (fell in love with this breed after reading Jonathan Kellerman’s, Alex Delaware novels and he has one).
If I ever got a cat I would love a Persian or a Scottish Fold.

Dog wise, I WILL have a Bull Terrier someday.
I love dogs like English Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers too, though.
The guy I’m dating has a Boston which works out for me, I’ve gotten to be close to one since I started to get to know him. I’ve never been a fan of female pets though and she’s a crazy, spoiled runt. But impossible not to love.
When I was pup-sitting her :]

Can I share Britt with you? She’s such a cutie : D
I’ve always thought it would be fun to have a hedgehog! They’re so cute. But I did some research and apparently if you keep your house chilly (which we really do) they attempt to hibernate…
Just getting caught up on this thread…heading out to get a security system to set up around my Harlequin Mini-Rex.
Someone had mentioned (Beka, I think) about how some members have been here since the beginning. Now I’m curious; When did the forum start?
Good question! I’d be interest to know also. I know BB has mentioned there was an ivillage group originally.
Before Christmas I did a search for old threads that mentioned membership growth because I realised BB had grown to 9000+ members.
I remember some threads but there were a couple earlier ones before my time here. One was from Sept 2007 when membership reached 900.
Just a small timeline from what I did find…
Sept 2007 – 900 members
Oct 2007 – 1000 members
June 2008 – 2000 members
Dec 2008 – 3000 members
Nov 2009 – 4000 members (almost)
Dec 2010 – 9000 members (maybe Nov?)
Jan 2011 – 9815 members (Today 1/11/11)
Is there any way to find out when we joined? I can’t remember but I’d like to know. A few years for sure. I just checked my profile and couldn’t find out.
Did you have your current 3 when you joined? You could do a search using keywords you might have used, mentioning certain bunnies names? I know when I joined because I did a search on the qu I asked when I first posted. I’ve already mentioned this several times recently but do a search via somewhere like Google. A tip Osprey gave in Tech section that I’ve found super useful. Type in site:binkybunny.com LittlePuffyTail (if that was your original screen name) then add some key words.
I didn’t have Olivia but I’m not sure if I had Bindi or not. I will try your tip.
Actually…I just found it. lol I’m sending you the link.
I’ve been a member since September 13, 2007. (Thanks Jersey)
Wow that is such a growth.
I joined in February of last year.
Everyone has taught me so much
Brittany- You have an insane amount of posts for joining so recently! Urm…Maybe you have OBPD??? Obsessive Bunny Posting Disorder!
