One word: Rabbits

Like a lot of people, I just can't help but love rabbits.  They are extremely cute!  This makes me happy and sad at the same time because I know they are at the base of the food chain like mice and other rodents.  Perhaps that's why they are so cute.  Evolutionarily, the cutest rabbits were best suited to survive and thus rabbits became cuter and cuter as a species.

Anyways here is a visual representation to clarify my ramblings.






I have own two rabbits and they can be difficult to care for since they need a lot of attention in their feed and grooming.  Unlike a cat or dog, rabbits need a diet of fresh hay, green leafy vegetables, and base pellets for calories.  They also poop everywhere.  Any rabbit owners know what I mean.  In addition, they are prey by nature so their behaviors are very different from cats and dogs which, of course, are predators.

For those interested here is some more info about rabbits here and here.

  6. I used to have a couple of rabbits. They never seemed as affectionate as a cat or dog, but then again I was young so I didn't care for them as much as I probably should have.

  10. I loooooove rabbits! I had two pet rabbits growing up, Pepper & Amaretto (dad named that one, he was a bit of a soft spot for booze-related names).

    They were indoor pets, & would softly scratch at the door to go out, do their business (in the same corner of the yard), play, whatever. They slept in my bed & would wake me up before my mom or alarm clock by licking my face, most days.

    I swear, rabbits are smarter & easier to train than dogs, sweeter than cats, & easier to care for. I'm not sure why they're not more popular than both!
