At one point I had well over 25 buns. I took in all the unwanted buns and it's crazy how many there are! These buns stole my heart.

This is Bugsy, my blue mini Rex. My baby!!

This is Oreo, my female mini lop. She was Bugsy's baby mama. They actually did it between their cages..and had babies. I got her spayet ASAP after that.

I miss having buns, but the workload was crazy. I live in the city and it was really hard to house them here..if I ever get a farm, I'm opening up the rescue again!!

Thanks for looking!

I got my first bunnies about 20 years ago and I'm still not tired of them, they are wonderful pets! :<3:

Please get (at least) a second one, they are extremely social animals and shouldn't be kept alone. ;)
Yeah I got a girlfriend for my fixed male rabbit and he loved her so much, would clean her everyday and snuggle up to her. When she died he would lay on top of where we buried her. It was so sad.

I'll make sure that my wife doesn't see this thread. She's been itching for another rabbit.
She had one that passed away a few years back that had long hair and had to be brushed out at least once a day.o_O
The vet that I take my tortoises to BROWARD AVIAN AND EXOTIC does a rabbit rescue and always has several there for adoption. But they are usually big, adults.

An English Angora! Im sure of it! GORGEOUS buns, lots of work though! Ive had some people I know actually make things from their fur. I would frequent Broward Humane Society because they always had a bun in need. I also got all my buns fixed there since it was the most economic price in town!!!! I had a Flemish/New Zealand mix from there, his name was Chuchu, best rabbit I have ever owned. He was HUGE, weighing in at 10lbs, my dogs were scared of him. Sadly, his life before me left him very sick, he lived his days out with me in peace and freedom.

Get your wife another bun, do it. :D

This is such a sweet pic. Im assuming all of your buns have been spayed/neutered? I made it a point to do that to each of mine. They are so much happier that way, makes it possible for them to bond :) Gorgeous buns!!

I just got my first bunny, Cedric! He's mini Rex/lop. View attachment 151070

Thats the same exact mix my kits were. They are so cute! Since the Rex has bigger ears, and the lops ears flops, all of the babies were born with what i call "air plane ears" they didn't stick straight up, and they didn't flop, they kinda stuck out to the side like an air plane!

You bunny is gorgeous!

What is a rabbits life span?
How long do they live?
12 years or even longer if cared for properly. I had most of my buns "bonded" and that helped them. I also fed them a high quality pellet and fresh veggies. I would buy Sherwood Forest rabbit pellets, THE ABSOLUTE BEST ON THE MARKET! if you ask me lol.

Only the males are neutered. I know it's silly (it was long ago and anesthesia is much safer nowadays) but since one of my females didn't survive the surgery, I'm too scared.

These are some of my buns...I have one mini lop with a bad leg that I rescued from a bunny mill and 4 english angoras:

The top left is the mini lop, Honey// Top right is the chocolate agouti, Snickers// Bottom left is Bailey, broken chocolate agouti// and bottom right is Fudge, she is a regular chocolate. I also have a broken chocolate but I couldn't find a good picture of her.

That is a scary thing with bunnies. All four of my females are spayed but I was a nervous wreck worrying when they were having it done. I had a male lion head that died when he was only 2 from what I think was an intestinal blockage. The vet said that he could operate on him and try to remove the blockage if there was one but that he most likely would not survive the surgery. We gave him medicine and ferret-lax but unfortunately he did not survive. They are such fragile creatures.

Not silly at all! Completely understandable. Their so fragile it's still a risk!

Oh wow! Yours are gorgeous, must be a lot of grooming! I love big bunnies. Do you do anything with their fur?

Hello Lexii, your bunny is beautiful, however I believe his is not a rex/lop. Rex rabbits tend to have whiskers that are sparse or curled at the ends. Kind of giving the appearance as if the rabbit has been bullied by another rabbit even. Your rabbit has perfect whiskers & I think if you Google harlequin rabbits, you will see many that have a coat & face with a checked appearance. They are very unique looking. Your rabbit has the same color blending just a bit muted together.
Search several pages of images & you should see what I mean.
Cedric is a beautiful bunny with great markings.
