is anyone's bunny like this?

Snoopy is not one bit afraid of my dogs.

they will come up to his cage and he goes right up to them.

if my great dane comes in the room (she does really well with small animals, she protects them from men and the other dogs...she also likes to clean them) he cuddles up right next to her!

and we've only had him for about 3 or 4 days, and he already sits on by back and falls asleep!

he also does that 'bunny flop' where he lays down on his side next to me...


seems to me that he's coming around fast, and its surprises me, especially since he came from the environment he's from.

Wow, Snoopy sure is laid back. You're very lucky to have such an easy going bunny. It's only been a few days though -- I wouldn't let me guard down too soon. It could just be that this bunny has a particular fearless behavior, but he's still a prey animal. Basic prey instinct may turn on depending on what triggers it. So be careful about writing of all risk of your dogs to your bun until they have had more time to interact and you are sure everyone is comfortable with each other.

My dog is actually afraid of my bunny. It's really amusing for me. My father says it's because she's aware that she's not allowed to eat him, but she's unsure of how to act around him.

We're exposing them to each other slowly, with the bunny in the cage, and encouraging them both. It's going to take a while though.

Sounds like you have a great laid back bunny. I don't have any dogs, but my one cat is afraid of one of my rabbits that chase her. My rabbit thinks it is the best game in the world. But it scares the crap out of my cat.

On the topic of mixing animal species....

My chickens are terrified of my little4.5 pound bunny! And Hershey thinks it's the funniest thing in the world to chase them around!

That sounds a lot like my bunny. I have 3 cats and my little baby lop has never been afraid in the least of them. He sniffs them nose to nose, climbs on them and plays with them. Usually the cats get aggravated as his playfulness and run off. He bonded with me really quickly as well. I think within the first week he was snuggling up next to me and was very trusting right off. What kind of bunny is snooopy? My bun is a holland lop, and I've read they are usually pretty mellow. All bunnies are wonderful, but the mellow ones have a special place in my heart.
