i got a 6 week old baby bunny on friday!
he is so so cute
we named him chico - spanish for "small" says google translator lol and also cause he is brown. he joins our dalmation, 2 cats, 2 goats and 2 indian ringneck parrots!
Please invest in some frozen bricks - you know the ones you get for your esky? and have them ready for your bunny for hot days. Bunnies just can't handle heat so whenever it gets over 28 degrees I have 3 of these I put in my bunny cage amd he lies on them to keep cool, I make sure he is in the shade and when its really really hot I bring him inside and place a fanand him and his ice bricks in the laundry with the cord up high so he can't eat it!
Bunnies are awesome pets but beware summer!!!

PS sorry if you already know this! I have had 3 people I know accidently kill their bunnies in the heat.
His name was Sebastian, he was grey and use to live "free range" in the back yard with our dog (spaniel/hound) named Ariel
Then we moved to a new house, mum spent a couple of grand on a picket fence to keep him and the dog on the grass and off the patio and he decided for the first time ever to dig under the fence, the saint Bernard's next door "played" with him
kazbah.... im not sure they have bunny courses here in tassie lol
lilydust... he is gorgeous! i work in a child care and have been taking him to work each day! they love him!
joeve... thank you for the advice i have had bunnies before, but never thought to do that i live in a place that doesnt get too hot very often (snowed a fornight ago!), and i am taking him to work each day (he has a portable cage there) and he has an indoor and outdoor cage at home so i can bring him in with the ac in summer! (lol...one spoilt bunny!)
toomanyshoes.... that is sad i am hoping chico will be able to run around out of his cage too. i had a bunny "played with" by a dog before sounds like sebastion lived a wonderful life xx
We had a duck to, then ended up with another one when someone found one with a broken beak so we took him in too, regular little farm in the middle of suburbia lol
But no animals for us now, DH doesn't like pets, thinks the kids are enough
