I found this video on youtube the other day and thought it would be neat to show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_01tQrBkeh0 I know binkys are expressions of happiness for rabbits and I explained it to my cousin who watched me watch the video and asked: "Are the rabbits suffering from ADD."...

If I recall the episode correctly Fifi was neutered so reproduction isn't likely to be an issue. But you're right - suitable companions can't just be buying a second rabbit and putting him/her in the same pen and expecting them to get along. From what I know European Rabbits have a fairly...

I've seen examples where the rabbit turns the tables on the dog. Such as what looks to be a Californian or mix thereof interacting with a pair of Siberian Huskies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DejrLgo-7-4 The owner looks like he's on the alert and keeps both sets of animals from injuring...

I've always put obedience as a priority when it comes to owning large dogs just to prevent issues. What of introducing a dog over a year old to a house rabbit? I've heard recommending starting young when it comes to teaching dogs not to harm rabbits and make sure 'Thumper' has a hiding place...

As someone who likes larger dog breeds such as Malamutes, Huskies, Malinois, Akitas, Pitbulls, and German Shepherd Dogs I wonder if it is possible to have dogs who are known for high prey drives (I recall that Akitas and Malamutes and Huskies all have pronounced tendiences to hunt small game)...

I'll contrast the seemingly relaxed behavior of these suburban bunnies to where I reside on an Army base in the Mojave Desert. We have Jackrabbits and Desert Cottontails that I do see when I go for long runs and I occasionally see them in stands of brush up to a hundred feet away. They are...

Very cute picture. Nice GSD. I suppose she was raised around the rabbit since puppyhood? I actually showed this picture to a friend of mine who contends dogs and rabbits can't get along.

I found this videoclip while google searching a favorite Animal Planet TV series of mine called Barking Mad. This deals with a rabbit mistakenly sexed as a female but is a male that lived in a backyard pen that kept getting loose. I wonder what rabbit keepers here think of the rabbit expert's...

Last month I was visiting relatives in the Inland Empire area of California. Driving into the neighborhood around dusk I noticed a rabbit standing on the nearby sidewalk. I saw it had a brown coat with a white belly. Initially believing it to be a stray or feral when I got closer it spooked and...

My apologies for misplacement of this debate iin the wrong spot.

My mistake Jasharia. I for some reason thought the first rabbit was an English Spot or mix thereof. I'm only somewhat familiar with various rabbit breeds. And I agree with you. Snakes need to eat too and some will only eat live prey. I do find some of the commentary on those videos to be...

Owing to a rash of YouTube videos of rabbits eaten by pythons and other large snakes and monitor lizards I wonder what members of this board thought about things like this. Personally I understand it's real life and that some reptiles won't eat frozen-thawed or pre-killed animals. I understand...

The first video was in France and Portugal I think and the second was Europe and China.

I wonder if anyone has ever seen the CAFT (first video) and PETA (second video) regarding the rabbit meat/fur industries. To my admittedly untrained eye it seemed that in at least one video (the CAFT one) the battery style raising and the fact that you saw rabbits raising their heads and...
