Hello,
I have had my rabbit for about 6 months now. He was a rescue brought to a local pet store at my old home (in Santa Barbara, CA) and help rehome rescue animals. My husband loved the fact that he looked like an Easter Bunny. He held him, and he pee'd all over him. My husband looked at me and said "Let's take him home". My husband is severely allergic to cats though he always loved them (no, you cant have him, he is all mine), so it was a match made in heaven!
I then spent the next 24 hours crazedly building a C&C cage (I had already build one for my guinea pigs a few months ago). I ended up building a 4x4 2 story cage complete with clay pots to hop on and cat litter box with compressed hay pellets and hay for litter box. He loves his home... but has the tendency to be cage aggressive, which I can understand, so we leave him be. If we sit patiently outside his cage, he almost always come's out to say hello. Here is his cage, picture take last October
Last October we relocated to Portland, Or. It was a rough journey, but we made it! We were able to fit our dog, 2 Guinea Pigs, 2 large tuperwares of Fish and aquatic frogs, and our dearly departed lizard (died a week later due to unknown illness... RIP King Tut I) into my little 2 door car and make the 1300 mile trip from Santa Barbara, CA to a suburb just outside Portland, OR. I get so mad when I look on Craigslist and see sooo many people dumping their animals just because they have to move! Yes, he was mad, but that's no reason to abandon them to the shelters!
Grumpy Flower!
So, now he has a wonderful home to live in! He has free roam of the house, but he has the tendency to get into trouble. He loves to find thin little wires, and having just moved, we had to learn the hard way where we forgot to bunny proof! Just like the mastercard commercials...

1 Crazy Hoppity Bunny : priceless!
He is prone to aggression and will charge our poor dog if she gets anywhere near. He will also hop onto the dog and sit there. He thinks he owns the house. He has settled down a lot since we got him fixed. We thought we were going crazy for a while. He still has maintained a lot of his querkiness. He loves to sit under the top step and attack our feet. Steal my blanket as I am sleeping on the couch (usually a nightly occurance). Tries to break into our bedroom by charging the bedroom door (now banned from bedroom since he ate through the cords and starting pulling my clothes out of the closet), etc etc.
He is just one member of our fur family (both our families tell us to just have kids already, but we aren't ready yet).

Sadie Dog (Heeler- sticking her tongue out at me for putting antlers on her)

Guinea Pigs- Queen Elizabeth (light brown, the mom) and Princess Isabella (black and brown, baby)
Our Egyptian Uromastyx Lizards (grow to about 3 feet, also known as Giant Uromastyx)
Queen Nefertiti- aka Big Lady
King Tut II - aka Big Dude
Cleopatra- aka Spaz (kinda psycho... we think the previous owners may have abused it or it has brain damage)
Our rescued (awful story, kinda long, lost an arm due to neglect) Plated Lizard- Stumpy
so, now hopefully I wont be banned for putting up too many pictures!
