It always killed me watching Steve Irwin get chomped by a goanna or some such creature, blood streaming down his hand and arm, and calmly sitting there saying "now that's a naughty lizard." Loved that man.
Austin Stevens - seen that show. In fact, I'll seek out reruns at times just to see...
I love them. They are so cute. I had a Polish Dwarf who looked more like a Netherland, and she was a doll baby. Thanks for posting pictures of your sweet pets!
Thanks. It's been a week today, and I'm going to the vet's office sometime in the next few days to pick up her things and the mold they made of her paw print. I'm lucky to have caring, competent vets nearby.
I'd take all the shelter bunnies (and dogs and cats) home if I could. I'm sure a...
Thanks, guys. She was a sweetie, that's for sure.
I took a vacation day last week after she died and spent it at the local humane society in the small animal room. There were about 13 bunnies there, so I brought them an exercise pen, groomed them, and trimmed their nails. It felt good and...
Dear Tink,
Sweet, tiny bunny, I hardly know where to begin. I miss you so much. You were only in my life for 8 months, and that was not nearly long enough. While you are still very much with me, your physical absence has left an unimaginable void.
You had a rough start in life, my...
I'm not an expert but I have some experience. I think these are Flemish Giants. I've heard they are generally very friendly, too. And it's a good thing! Apparently they don't get *quite* that big, though.

Here's a pretty good page about breeds. To answer your question about ears, all the dwarf rabbits I've seen have very small ears unless they are crossed with another breed. Netherland Dwarf bunnies have small ears that stick up, and Polish Dwarf...
Paul -
Bunnies are great pets for some, albeit a lot of work. I have three, and they are handfuls but totally worth it to me.
First, there are really no beginner domestic rabbit species; it's all about personality and finding the right rabbit for your personality, your lifestyle, and...
...that she likes my porch!
I was gardening this weekend and noticed a pair of very small birds (finches, I think) flitting around my porch. The female kept landing on the edge of a hanging spider plant and looking around. I finally got curious, and while they were away, I climbed up on the...
Congratulations, I guess. Previous posters gave some great advice, and let me just add this: PLEASE have the parents spayed and neutered (and any babies you may keep when the time comes). Bunnies do that and they will keep doing it and can produce litters faster than most people imagine...
Ugh, two of my three bunnies are having a shed-athon. They seem impervious to the crazy Kansas weather fluctuations we're having. I may end up making a pillow or two. :D
Funny, I never thought about skunks shedding! What is their fur texture like?
