The fact I have six and paid over a grand for rabbit hutches usually raises a few eyebrows :thumb:

Probably just about everything! :lol: Sadly most people I know think more about the 'traditional' way of looking after rabbits (ie small hutches) 
But most people find me not going out when it's their tea time, or making sure I'm back in time, odd and that I rearranged my bedroom to make things better for Boris.
:lol: I find this too, and the sound of a frogs filter and ratties shredding newspaper

My boyfriend has said it's nuts how much I can remember about what plants they eat, what housing they need and rabbit health stuff when I can't remember his birthday or his phone number.
I've had people tell me my housing is over the top, but I think that's just traditional views of pet rabbits.

How do you do it now? I'm still at the 'cutting grass every 2-3 hours' stage - even in the pouring rain - with Bubbles.

We gather it in two los (am and pm) and put it in snappy bags with some water and shake the water around every so often. Keeps it fresh.

The fact that I have 4 rabbits seems mad to most people...then when I tell them they all run around the house and have chewed my leather settee, they think I'm totally crazy. Then adopting a rabbit and paying nearly £500 on him the first week to have a tumor removed and resultant hernia repaired, and paying for vaccinations, and twice yearly dental fees....well, you can imagine what most people say to me!
Oh yes...I also cut grass with scissors, especially now I can't put them outside. And also bought them an 8x6 shed and built them a walk in run for the summer ...people say to me, "so why are they in the house then?"" try explaining to non-bunny lovers that you miss them not being under your feet :lol::lol::lol:

Most of my friends think it is strange that I walk along the tow path picking dandelions, clover, cow parsley, dock leaves and grass. They also seem to find it strange that the herb plants on the windowsill are not for people consumption and that Stevie lives indoors! They also seem to think it's weird that I take him to the vets and have him insured....can't say I'm particularly happy about the conditions their pet rabbits are in...

My grass is about 2 ft tall in some places at the mo, I just grab a few handfulls along with some other wild treats and give it to them like that. They love it! Am I missing something?!
