@@pixelcount350 not that much, 80 year old men can still impregnate a woman. Women go through menapause because nature says body too old to carry, some do tho. But men stay fertile and active much longer than women. And an old dog,, same . It would be horrible on an old dogs body to be prego. But men just gotta seed. So I guess he could still make babies, but she obviously wants to breed safe and a different rabbit. No, we are closer as any animal with many things.

"More like dogs than rabbits." That sums up a rabbit I used to have named Wallace. He was a Californian albino, and they are known for making great pets. Wallace would follow me around and run down the sidewalk to meet me when I would come home from school. Wallace loved to be petted, never ran from anyone, and would also lick someone's hand or face while they were petting him. He was very affectionate, loving, and very much like a dog. Wallace passed away during my first year of college and I miss that loving little rabbit so much! 😥❤

@scottvgamer1163 Жыл бұрын

First, I’m sorry for your loss. He sounds like an amazing pet and companion😢 Second, is his name inspired by Wallace from Wallace and Gromit?

@ninjabunnywholivesinsideaw8216 Жыл бұрын

@ScotTV Gamer Thank you, and yes! I am impressed you recognized the inspiration for my rabbits name! I intentionally named him after Wallace from Curse of the Wererabbit, since in that Wallace turns into a giant wererabbit and eats everything in sight. My rabbit Wallace was the same way! He loved any fruit and vegetable you gave him.

Eating a rabbit is like eating a cat or dog. They are very loving pets, are intelligent, can problem solve, understand commands and each have unique personalities. Some of the rabbits my family had would hop up onto your lap when you were sitting and demand to be cuddled and petted. They would give a show to a laughing audience by running and leaping around especially when a new person came to visit.

We raised Flemish Giants for awhile. We kept them in fenced pens, in a side yard, with dog houses for shelter. One day we got a surprise visit from our local animal-control warden. She had received a call stating that our dogs didn't have adequate shelter. It was all I could do to keep from laughing as she was pointing to the rabbits. But rather than take up more of her time I just let it slide and she left satisfied that the dogs weren't being neglected. I have often wondered what breed of "dog" she thought the rabbits were lol.

Unfortunately I was very young and not mature enough to realize I couldn’t raise him in a small 2-bedroom apartment, even with allowing him to free-roam. It wasn’t fair & he just didn’t seem happy. I had to surrender him to an animal shelter & I sobbed the whole way there, while actually there at the rescue, and the whole way home. He was beautiful. All white with red eyes, I named him Bunnicula! But mostly just called him “Big Bun”!! 🐇
