It's true.
Three of my friends saw my pet rabbits and wanted their own. This was when we all had just started secondary school.. All three, typically in my opinion, went out and chose the extra cute looking rabbits... One had a lop eared, fluffy white buck, one had a pair of lops - who turned out to be one male, one female, and so produced three live babies, and the third friend got two netherland dwarves on impulse, and their dog killed one within hours. So they went and got a lop.
Now the friend with the white fluffy lop left it in the care of two of the most spiteful girls I've ever known, who left the door open to his hutch. He was never found, but chances are he was eaten by something. The friend with the buck and doe lost all interest in them, left them wit her dad... He struggled to care for them. The buck got flystrike and had to be put down. The other three 'went to a sanctuary'. The lop and netherland dwarf are still alive... I think. The lop grew really big, and my friend didn't like her as much as the tiny netherland. Last I heard, the lop was left in her dad's care and had become paralzyed. Their vet doesn't know what's caused it, had never heard of E. Cuniculi and my friend 'doesn't know whether to pay to have the rabbit put to sleep, as it might be against her morals...'
I was the freak who got a rabbit, was utterly devoted to the rabbit, and still is devoted to her current rabbit... Comparitively speaking, if human males were anything like my bunny, I might have more interest in them... :roll: Unfortunately, I'm more interested in the bunnies than 'normal' young people activity type things...
