itsounds like you just want to get another bunny and not try to work withthe one you have...im sure if you spend a few hours a daywithyour bunny just sitting in a room with it letting it come to you. youbunny will probably become friendlier the more time you spend withit

aww. I'm been spending time with it for 2 monthss. Whatmade you choose a holland lop rabbit as a pet in the firstplace?

i picked peapoo out at a petstore not knowing what breedshe was until later...petey came from a shelter...i picked him to bepeapoos friend..i just picked them out..not because of their breedthough..i just liked them

becuz they are cute. but I have topick the big one. =( I want a small one. And spending more time with itnow will make it harder for me to give it to theshelter.

i still think you should keep him...giving himto a shelter just because you dont like his looks/size is notfair...

yes it is. not my faulthe'smean.

he's only "mean'' because he hasnt beensocialized

looks shouldnt matter

Please don't feel like we're ganging up on you or trying to be mean. We are really only trying to help.

You will have to socialize ANY rabbit you get. They have tobe trained to trust you. Until then, they will most likelyscratch and bite because they are afraid.

The things we've told you really work. You have to have patience and work with the rabbit.

may I ask how old are you? And even my mom and dad said to givethe rabbit alway. They would yell at me for having a rabbit. My dadeven called it ulgy. he said he thought I would buy a nice lookingrabbit. I didn;t want to give up my rabbit at first even when myparents would get mad at me becuz my rabbit wakes everyone up at nightbecause I walked a lot to find my rabbit. I walked many blocks andspended many days looking for that rabbit. I only went to about 2 petcoand 4 petlands and I called a lot of petstores. I think it was becuz itwas april and many people buy rabbits around that times thats why itshard to find a rabbit.

my rabbit is in my room too.sometimes at night I get annoyed with my rabbit when it keep jumping inthe cage and stuff. But my parents room are the farthest from my room.so i go to their room sometimes. Oh yea did you ever give your rabbit abath?

 

[peapoo_bunny]

any rabbit you get is going to jump around sometimes and be noisy



i had to one time because she got soap spilled on her...but your notsupposed to bathe them...rabbits in general should keep themselvesclean...unless their cage isnt cleaned enough or their diet isnt right



if your rabbit is in your room then why cant you spend more time with him?

i look at it a lot. I just dont touch it

 

[peapoo_bunny]

if your are that afraid of getting bit...try putting some gloves and a long sleeve shirt on

send him to me!!! i wish you were closer to me..i would take him!

then the rabbit will be usedto the way the glove feels and it won't know how your hand feels. andits summer i'm not going to wear a long sleeve. Not until it startssnowing. And would you want to raise a rabbit that you dont like formany years. i don't like my hamster but I still keep them until theydie. and they all live for about 2 to 3 years.and for some reason Istillbuy more hamsters even though i know I don't likethem.anyway hamsters are small so I don't mind taking care ofthem but rabbits are big. And won't that rabbit be more happy having afamily that likes and to adopt it?

 

[peapoo_bunny]

it sounds like you really just dont want tospend any time or do anything with this bunny... i really feel sorryfor it.. why couldnt you put on a long sleeve shirt for 5minutes so youcould spend time with your bunny? because you dont want to spend timewith that poor bunny? what has he done to make you hate him so much?

didn't I tell you? I don't like it cuz it scratch too muchand it's too loud at night.

 

[peapoo_bunny]

well if thats the case then you wont like anybunny you get because alot of bunnies do that..actually pretty much allbunnies do that
