Also here's a picture of two bunnies:

much bun, very hop.

Nice work! Good bunning!

I would die for either of them. What are their names???

you thumped 2,461 times

That is one angry bunny.

Don't get a bunny if you don't want your home to look like you have a bunny. Yes, bunny-proofing can help, but they're amazingly good at defeating anything designed to stop them.

that's just like 50 times a week.

Bunnayy and Bunnbee

Also don't get a bunny if you intend on keeping just one. They are social animals that shouldn't be kept alone.

Those are really good names 🥹❤️

That's a lot of thumping.

I've always wanted to raise one alongside cats though, I've heard they'll pick up how to use a litter box fairly well if they grow up together, especially if you use wood pellets, and they end up socialized pretty much like a weird cat. I don't know how likely that actually is or if the examples you can find online are basically outliers, but it would be the perfect combo of pets I think. Also super adorable when neither the cats or bun really know why their siblings are so weird.

My ex had 2 cats and a bunny and they were best friends. Not to the point of snuggling but they loved each other and played all day. I wound up getting 2 of my own and volunteered at the rabbit shelter, here are some tips:

• They WANT a place to go. They'll train YOU where they want a litter box. If you put the box in one corner and they pee in the other, move it there
• It's a different litter box than the cat's and you'll need many more. My rabs had free reign of 6 rooms (no cage) and 3 litter boxes.
• It's much more gross than a cat litter box and requires more frequent cleaning
• Their personalities are as diverse as cats and some care a lot more about cleanliness than others
• They WILL abandon their litter box to mark the perimeter if they feel threatened. Say, introducing a new pet
• Some rabbits will NEVER get along. With other rabbits or cats. Their personalities are as diverse as a cat.

I loved them but bonestly, I don't recommend getting a rabbit unless you've thought hard about all of the downsides...most of which I didn't mention. I've described them before as "more trouble than owning a dog with fewer benefits than owning a cat"

And they are also absolutely not a good pet for 99.9% of kids.
