Hi! I'm new to this site. I just recently got a little eight week old bunny that I named Violet. I had a rabbit that passed away a few years ago. I'm not so good at taking pictures so the pics I have up aren't that great. Violet is a little black mini rex. She has a white nose and a white spot on her head. I swear she is the most calm rabbit I have ever seen. As I type this, she is sitting in my lap, cuddled up to me. Everytime she sees me she comes running, and she loves to be held. I don't really know what else to say, so thanks for listening!

Sounds just like our Serena. So very unlike a rabbit, she loves to be held and always comes when called. The only problem is that she's a Checkered Giant and tips the scale at 18 pounds so she's hard to fit on our laps now.

 

[Wrena Wolfkin]

She sounds sweet. It reminds me of my dog, she thinks she weighs 5 lbs when she really weighs 30. Lol.

Hey, has anyone had their bunny try to dig at their clothing? Violet has been sitting on my lap and digging at my shirt. She didn't mess on me, so I'm wondering why she's doing it. She doesn't seem upset. I have a green shirt on so I thought that my be part of it. Anyone have any idea what she's doing?

Just something ours all do--then they nibble.

Scone would do that from time to time. There wasn't any particular reason for it, he'd just do it every once in a while, then jump off my lap as soon as I acknowledged it. I think he just wanted me to pay attention, and once I did, that was good enough for him.

Natasha used to dig at me when she was in her "pee on Dad" territory-marking phase. If I didn't take her back to her cage right away, the waterworks let go. She stopped it once she settled in and became comfortable, which took a few months.

Thx for the advice. I think it's for attention because she hasn't had ANY accidents on me since getting her, which I find surpising. She also fell asleep soon after digging so I think she may have just been trying to get comfy. Thanks for the help!
