I can't decide

[Snuggys Mom]

Do you have an area like a kitchen where you could let it out and not have to worry about the floor?

Does your rabbit use a litter box? If so, you can put the boxout and it will probably go there instead of the floor. Mineall do.

Rabbits need to be out of the cage for exercise EVERY day.

just because he'sputting his nose near you doesnt mean he's going to bite you... hecould want petted...or maybe he wants to smell you..to get to knowyou...getting rid of the rabbit you have JUST TO GET A CUTER andsmaller rabbit is not right...that poor bunny can probably sense thatyou dont like him

 

[Snuggys Mom]

May I ask how old you are?

Rabbits require a lot of time and attention. They aren't foreveryone. Maybe you should find another home for yours andget a hamster or something. You mentioned thatPetcowould take it in. They have an adoptionprogram now and would find a home for it.

I'm not trying to be mean, but it sounds like you just aren't ready orwilling to properly care for the rabbit. You can't just throwit away because it's not "cute" enough. Animals aren'tdisposable.

=P Fine i'll go rabbit shopping and see whatI can get and compare it to the rabbit I have now at home. Then i'lldecide if i'll give it to the shelter or not.

 

[peapoo_bunny]

im just curious...you say this rabbit ismean...what has he ever done to make you think he's mean? has he bittenyou or anything like that? or is he just scratching when you pick himup? scratching when you pick him up doesnt mean that he is mean...itprobably means he is afraid of being picked up and wants to be put backdown

-.-" Then what am I suppose to do?

 

[peapoo_bunny]

i think you should give your rabbit to theshelter and then not get another one...especially if your only gettingrid of the rabbit you have now because of his looks...what happens isyou get a holland lop and then it grows up and you dont like the way itlooks? are you going to give it to a shelter to?

hescratch me when I pick him up. And he scratches hard. But my dad playedwith him in the cage and he scratched my dad and my dad bleeded. i wasokay with the rabbit not until it made my dad bleed.
