Well isn't he a lucky bun! He's a good looking chap.

Sadly, 2 weeks ago today we had to get this chap put to sleep:





At least 10.5 years old and a right character. Had the run of the house as you can see!

very interesting Stoob, didn't realise rabbits lived that long.

wonder if you could house train them as you can a dog ?

i believe you can house train them, i have a couple of tenants that each have a indoors rabbit

both have litter tray and no mess anywhere

Just bought Elvis one to see if he will be trained

We (well my 5 year old daughter did) decided that it would be easier if Elvis came with us on caravan holidays, which we take the awning, so had to dipp in to the wallet again

Rabbit £17.50
Hutch £135.00
Thermal Rain Cover £75.00
Travel Hutch £42
Travel Run £25

For everything else there's Mastercard dads wallet

But then i have had to treat the son too so he got a Xbox One Laughing

Hi Iain,

No they generally don't live that long. He was a tough wee thing.

I wouldn't say that he was trainable as such. He trained us to the way he wanted I think.
He was was a bit of a handful until he was given the snip. After that he was automatically toilet trained. He'd either go to his hutch or use a litter tray. I also had to rabbit proof things like wires. I learned the hard way as I had never had a rabbit before. In his old age he tended not to be destructive and could be left all day in the living room. Most of the time he was cool:





Sometimes he'd attack something or just kick the contents of his litter tray out:

Oh Nick, if you lived up north, I could have vaccinated and neutered it for you (FOC).
It's rabbit awareness week, so check with your vet what offers they have on.
We advise vaccs for myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease.
Neutering is good at stopping bunnies from being aggressive and territorial.

Didn't mention rabbit awareness week when I paid £30 for his vaccines on friday Big Cry

Got a voucher for his snip due to him been a adoption bunny so that's luckily FOC

Also a pet plan rabbit insurance policy to hopefully never be needed, but better just in case than not
