Poor bunny.

Aw. He was so cute.

I had a bunny once. I let him have the run of my apartment. It only took about 3 days to train him to use a litterbox, and he was SO CUTE. Man he did shit a lot though. And he sure did chew a lot of wires, too. What's that all about?

'All of the rabbit's teeth grow continuously throughout its life to compensate for the pronounced wear created by long periods of chewing on abrasive foods.' Which is why rabbits have to keep chewing.

Rabbits can also get nutritional value from eating their own droppings (see the section under 'Coprophagy').

They also have nearly 360 degree vision.

So sorry to hear about your bunny.

Thanks, plep!

Now I feel guilty for not giving my bunny more stuff to chew on. If I ever get another one I'll have rope on hand all the time. My bunny loved the rope fringe on the bottom of my curtains.

Sorry about your rabbit sciurus. I also had a rabbit named charcoal. He was cute and also a prolific pooper.

I was less than six when he deep-sixed and didn't really understand what dead meant, no need for condolences, although I appreciate the warmheartedness. His hutch was so high up that I couldn't hardly see him anyway. After he ran down the curtain I got Rosie as a replacement, which was much cooler anyway.

My first experience with death was the untimely demise of my hamster Sandy. We had a funeral for him and even a little headstone (a nice shaped rock that I found). I was 7 I think.

Rosie is uber-cute!
