  What’s it like to live with bunnies? Let’s sum it up shall we?
  
  -The more expensive the item, the more tasty it is. Except of course, the stuff that you buy specifically for me, which I’m not interested in at all.
  
  -If I’m going to get sick, I’ll be sure to do it on a Sunday or at night.
  
  -I can do whatever I want; I’m really cute and I know you can’t get mad at me.
  
  – The best thumping time is about 2 in the morning.
  
  -It’s impossible. Just give up. You can’t touch the treat bag or go in the vegetable crisper without me knowing. Look at the size of my ears! I can hear everything!
  
  - I will administer “stink eye” in various doses if you displease me.
  
  – I think it’s hilarious that rabbits are considered “low maintenance” and I try my darnedest everyday to disprove that statement.
  
  What do your bunnies claim as “House Rabbit Truths”?

  -If I stand and look pitiful enough at the gate mama will let me come out to play.
  -It’s okay if I peed on the big dog’s foot as I’m not spayed just yet.
  -I’m smart enough to realize my new little girl’s door doesn’t catch good and I can get in there to play by pushing it open.
  -If mama doesn’t hear me for a few minutes I may be trying to get into trouble.

  – I will be a perfect angel while you’re in the room, but as soon as you leave I will climb behind the tv and on every piece of furniture
  – I will refuse to let you pet me or give you kisses, then I will groom a stuffed toy in front of you just to make you feel bad
  – I will pee anywhere there is hay. If I pull hay out of the racks and scatter it on the floor, I’m allowed to pee on the floor. Sometimes I will cover this pee with a litter box so you don’t find it for 5 days until you wonder why the room smells so bad.
  – I will nibble anything you leave on the floor. I don’t want to destroy it, but I do need to taste it.
  – I will pick a spot across the room to sit and stare at you for 10 minutes at a time. You won’t ever know why I do this.

  – I will fight my hardest to keep my mom from putting medicine in my eye or clip my nails, but if the vet does it I will act like a perfect little angel and make them wonder why my mom has so much trouble doing it herself.

  Good one! The vet techs carried Otto around the office like a baby while cooing at him and saying how sweet he was. It took us more than a year after that to pick him up ourselves.

  -I will THUMP at you if I am not getting pets!
  -I may get mad when you put your hand in my cage, but if you put your face in, I will willingly kiss it.
  -When you go into your room, I will try to go in, because I like how it smells like you, so I can leave my poopies all over!
  -I hate it when you trim my nails and groom me. i don’t understand why you have to do such things.
  -Mom’s books are the bestest to chew when she isn’t looking at me

  These are funny!
  
  – I will refuse to let you pet me or give you kisses, then I will groom a stuffed toy in front of you just to make you feel bad
  
  This one made me laugh out loud because mine do that too! Except Stormy, he’s a kissing machine.
  
  That’s true too about being so good at the vet! When I brought Olivia in once soon after I got her, I warned the vet tech “she will probably bite if you stick your hands in the carrier, you will probably have to unscrew the top to get her out. When I went to pick her up I was informed that she was an angel and one of the vet techs who recently lost her own bun was snuggling her and carried her around the office for 20 minutes! Go figure!!!
  
  ChaChaLover- yes they all love books. Olivia actually has more of a taste for magazines lately! She chewed a huge chunk out of my Rabbits USA when I left the room for a few minutes. She honked at me because I’m mean and I took it away.

  Hannah always grooms “Stuffie” and carries him around, but she’s sweet to us so it doesn’t bother me. Otto has become a huge a** lately and won’t ever let me touch him and has stopped giving kisses, then the other day I go over to him and he starts grooming Stuffie! Grrr. It was especially funny because he loves grooming Hannah’s ears, and he was also grooming Stuffie’s ears. Stuffie was originally Hannah’s, so I guess it smells like her. Weirdo jerk.
  
  Otto is obsessed with magazines too! I used to leave copies of Wine Spectator on the shelf under the coffee table and he would always go after them. Non-glossy paper like phonebooks just doesn’t taste the same I guess. Now I have a magazine rack out of his reach.

  Lolli likes to give my pillow kisses. Refuses to give me kisses or even pet her sometimes. But she’ll get 2 inches from my head so she can groom my pillow
  
  -I will randomly come up and nose bump you and will happily binky away from you when you reach down to pet me.
  -I will mess with the laptop cord and then binky as I hop away while you’re scolding me. Cause, yes, it IS too a game!

  This was a good one!
  
  This morning Otto nose bumped me right in the butt while I filled up his hay. I try to give him attention but he runs away, then immediately runs back to nose bump my ankle. What is with them?
  
  Hannah doesn’t nose bump – she just runs up to you and tugs on your pant leg with her teeth, just like a little kid. haha

  Lolli nose bumped me in the butt once too! It was when Eddie was getting really sick from his blockage and stasis. I was bending over, dealing with him and she came up and goosed me. hahaha She was generally going nuts that weekend cause Eddie was getting all the attention. Which leads me to:
  
  -I will go completely nuts if you pay attention to another pet even though I never want attention any other time.

  – when you vacuum, I will go to the places you have already cleaned and leave poops to make sure you know you can never truly win the poop war

  – I know what “NO” means… I just think its funny to hear you say it like it will actually deter me.
  
  -I will sit just out of reach and give you the stink eye for not making the effort to pet me. If you do make the effort to pet me, I will charge at you and snort for not playing the game right.

  -When they know you want to pet them soooo bad, but they remain stubbornly out of reach, wiggling their tails.
  
  Sigh. Lolli’s being a cheeky little girl tonite. LOL

  – I don’t usually flip over my water crock but when I do, I will make sure you are out of paper towels. (Thank you for that this morning, Bindi Loo!)
  
  -Even though I’m litter-trained, you will still find poops all over in random places: behind the couch, in your shoes, etc. I like to leave surprises for you.

  -Leather sofas and bitter citrus-scented cord covers are my favorite foods.
  -No matter how well you block off that 1′ x 6″ space behind the sofa, I WILL get stuck behind there at 3:00 AM. Oh, and I’ll have pooped and peed back there by the time you wake me up at 8:00.

  -No matter how hard you try to get me not to, I will ALWAYS pee on your bed because I think its funny.
  -Homework tastes better than regular paper.
  -Only Momma is allowed to hold me– but not in front of other people.
  -I will wait to do the bunny 500 in the bed until you’re napping and then I will eat your hair.
  -Doesn’t “No” mean that you want me to keep doing it?

  -I will make the most noise I possibly can and jump all over you until you get up in morning. Then I will promptly go find a spot to take a nap.
