Bunnies are so cute, man

OP
I had a bunny once. The sweetest creature on earth. My mom put her in a hutch outside and she got out of the cage. I'll never forgive my mom for putting her outside. Miss you Bogie.
Have had rabbits for all of my adult life.
I grew up with dogs, also have had cats, turtles, fish. I used to not have any interest in rabbits. As a kid, I only saw aggressive or scared rabbits that were kept in tiny hutches. It wasn't until a friend of mine literally put her pet rabbit in my hands and asked me to give her a home that I started to learn what domestic rabbits are actually like.
A rabbit that has daily exercise, constant human affection, a good living space and proper diet will become very loving, playful, cuddly and a very sweet pet.
I started r/rabbits nearly 10 years ago to share what I learned and create a community that would hopefully help each other out. I drew the old subreddit logo, a sketch of my first rabbit Tulip who died tragically and broke my heart (it's gone now, a mod kicked me out for being inactive and removed it).
I've adopted three rabbits over the past decade. My current rabbit is a Flemish Giant who I adopted when she was 3-5 years old and was discovered starving and alone in the woods (classic tale, kids get bunnies as gifts, they get bored of them and parents dump them in the woods). She was pregnant, all of her babies were quickly adopted and she stayed at the shelter for several months.
The story has a happy ending of course. Clover is around 10 years old and lives with me, happy and healthy!
Nope. Bunnies can be litter-box trained. In a safe place with proper care, a healthy rabbit will not do this.

Quite the opposite actually. Litter training mine took like literally a day.
Had to put our sweet bunny to sleep a month ago. I'm still torn up about it. :(
Were thinking of getting some kind of lop as our next one

Damn. Didn´t know anything about litter training when i was 10. And that fucking bunnie was pissing on my lap when i took it out.
This is the problem. "When I took it out". It wasn't your fault but many parents get rabbits for kids as a cute pet but don't give them the care they need and sadly, keep them in a cage- often one far too small.
I had the same perception of rabbits before I started adopting them. Rabbits that spent most of their time roaming free are so much happier.
I'm so sorry. Losing a rabbit is heartbreaking.
When you're ready, you should absolutely visit a nearby shelter and meet a rabbit that you like. Shelters are always getting more rabbits than they can handle but they ones you'll meet are often already litter-trained or fixed.
Take your time though. I know how much it hurts.
Sorry again for your loss.
growing up we had bunnies, rabbits, prairie dogs, hedgehogs
pot bellied pig, hog, ducks, chickens
a horse
and a fuck ton of cats and dogs
not all at once, mind, but we always had a bunch of animals around
of the small rodents i liked our prairie dogs the most, but the bunnies were sweeties as well
i always wanted a ferret but we never had the opportunity to take one in

Yeah there's a reason for it but this is ERA where people go out of their way to hate on cats. Its like posting "people like dogs but they maul children".
Bunnies are the cutest animals. Nothing else comes close, except maybe a fennec fox.
It's almost as if they're animals.
Haha, sorry! It's literally as simple as putting a litter box into a corner they like as they prefer always using the same spot. Some bunnies might be a bit more difficult than others but in general it's pretty easy.
Any excuse to post this cutie, his name's Kumo. Fiancee and I have a female rabbit too, we're bonding them. :)
D'awwwwwThis is Diggersby, my parents continental giant. Son of Darius, the world record holder for largest rabbit
He's the best bun. Had him since he was just 2 months old. He's now 2 years old
Comparison with my foot. He's longer now.
I've wanted to get a rabbit for a while now - seems like a pet that would be on my wavelength. But honestly, my apartment is just too small, just a one room studio that's already full of crap.
I'd also probably want to get two, so they're less lonely. I don't know if that's really needed, but when you're at work all day and asleep all night I can't imagine pets getting the social interaction they need.

Give them things to chew on. Either toys or things like branches from the local vegetation. Their teeth never stop growing so it's the only way they can regulate the length.
