Carla, some rabbits can live as long as twelve years, but 6-8 years seems to be more common. Bigger bunnies seem to live shorter lives than smaller ones, and the two I had before Cadbury were not long-lived at all, about two and four years. They were rescues, though, and I had no way of knowing their exact age when I got them or what they had been through before.
In most cases, rabbits and toddlers aren't a good mix. Every child is unique, though, and so is every rabbit. Here's a great place to learn more about the needs and habits of domestic rabbits: http://www.rabbit.org/
If you still think a rabbit would be a good addition to your household, I recommend working with a local rescue group to find one that's being fostered. The foster "mom" will be able to tell you about the bunny's habits and personality so you can be sure you're getting one that will be happy interacting with a child. Some bunnies are rather grumpy!
Nice 'tocks Cadbury!
ReplyDeleteI see Cadbury's adoratail!!! he's very much camouflaged with the trousers, or is he hiding?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what Cadbury thought he was doing in there, but I told Dan he should stop leaving his clothes lying about!

I think Cadbury is a natty casual dresser! And if Dan left his pants lying around our house, some bunny might leave a little hole in a critical area.
ReplyDeleteAnd Carla, if you're reading this, add to "grumpy" that buns can be destructive and very expensive to care for vet-wise.
Maybe he thought he could sneak out if he were disguised? Smart bun!
ReplyDeleteI see a bunny bum!!!
ReplyDeleteFound you!
That's too cute!
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's Cadbury's way of telling you bipeds that HE wears the pants in the family now.... :)
