Funny questions people ask about rabbits...

[TinysMom]

I usually get "will he bite me?" when folks see Tiny. Or "Is he dangerous?"

I think Amy can attest to the fact that Tiny is only close to being dangerous when he smells someone having bananas without him. Then he'll go running (hopping) to get some - usually at full speed...

I still can't get over how many people are afraid of Tiny though....so what if he's like 15 or 16 pounds or so?

Here's one I get a lot: "Why do you have so MANY?" Sometimes I have a hard time not saying, "Because clueless wonders such as yourself don't take care of them right!"

 

[Aina]

I always get asked if I am going to breed them.

 

[~Bracon~]

I always get "Why does her food look like her poo?"

 

[HoneyPot]

When people ask how many I have and I say 2, they always say

"two boys or two girls right?!"

then I say No, a boy and a girl, and their first reaction is

"oh my god, you're going to have a ton of babies"

then I say No, they're fixed, I would never breed my rabbits and they say

"you can fix rabbits?"



I get that conversation A LOT

When our twins were younger and we would be out with them (Robin & Eric)...people would say, "Are they twins?" and we'd say yes...and they'd say "boy and girl?" and we'd say yes...

Then they'd say...

ARE THEY IDENTICAL?

:nonono:

We'd reply..

"NOT WHEN WE CHANGE THEIR DIAPERS!"

:bunnybutt::bunnybutt::bunnybutt:

Just seeing about people asking if they're boy/girl reminded me of that..

I get that a lot too! Once they hear that they are a boy and girl pair they TELL me that they are gonna have babies!
Once I tell them that they are both fixed they say "wow I never knew you could fix them!" People are soo clueless:stikpoke

:shock: You should say that!! That is really a horrible question!!!!! Wow it almost hurts to read it.

 

[jcottonl02]

Grrr....the question I get asked a lot- which reeaallly....ticks me off is when the say

'but you can't get any love back from a rabbit- they are unresponsive!'

 

[Kokkiniklosti]

Here is a question i hear on weekly basis:

"When are you going to cook them?"

 

[polly]

I hate that one, i could never eat bunny its sick, i also agree with amy's one, about rabbits in the house.

i always say yep Saffy is running around my living room as we speak and they can't beleive i leave her out while i am at work but most of the time she just sleeps lol she is a very lazy bun.

I also hate so do you just feed them lettuce then?

 

[iluvmybuns]

I always get the same one as Nadia.

Or "Why have bunnies, why don't you get something normal, like a cat or dog"

I want to shoot those people.

 

[Yourillusion]

The question I get is, why a rabbit? My response is why not?

"WHAT?! YOU HAVE RABBITS THAT LIVE INSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE?!"


:thud:

That is the one I get the most...and the litter training one too..

 

[Butterfinger]

Haa.. I had one friend that was under the impression that all rabbits died in the winter.
:?

....I kind of wondered about her after that.

Also, there's always the people that are like 'So they only eat carrots, right?'
Tooooo many Bugs Bunny cartoons.

My local pharmacy is extremely pet-friendly, and I'm in there probably every week with my dog to visit. I usually end up there with more than one furry thing, too!

Well, I took Georgie in for the first time the other day, and he was a big hit! Well, at 8lbs he better be a BIG hit! I'm going to post a pic of his visit at the bottom. But here are a few of the questions I got during the hour I was there:

"Is that a cat??"

"Is that a dog??"

"What does it eat?"

"Does it have rabies??"

"Did you catch it outside?"

"Does your dog try to eat him?" (They give me the strangest looks when I say "No, Georgie chases my dog!")

"If you skin it, could you make me gloves? Oh, well I guess he's not big enough...ear muffs, maybe?" (after hefelt how soft he is)

Some people make me so sick...they literally make me want to vomit wherever I'm standing. But anyways! I'm sure that there are more; I'll just have to remember them.

Here is Willie, the resident furry of the pharmacy, and his fascination with Georgie. At one point, Willie started barking at him to get him to move. He refused and stayed there being lazy! Willie is about 5 lbs...much smaller than Georgie!!

 

[binkies]

I always get "why do you want all those things?"

 

[Haley]

I always get:

"rabbits? as pets? what do you do with them?" :dunno:

 

[Yourillusion]
