Hehe... I was thinking about this just last night :lol: Usually I find the people will ask a few polite questions and then just glaze over when you start to answer.
I experience the 'rabbits are for kids' attitude a lot and it drives me mad. I can't think of a more unsuitable pet for children to be honest! :roll:
The other thing I get a lot is people comparing whatever I've said to their experiences of the rabbits they had as children. For example:
'Oh, I had a rabbit and a guinea pig together for years and they were fine'
'The rabbit I had as a kid lived in a 2ft hutch it's whole life, it was fine'
'My rabbit lived outdoors and was on his own, they don't need company, he was fine'
Then of course no one listens when you explain why rabbits need space and a companion of the rabbit kind, but there you go! :lol:
That said, my OH is absolutely lovely and he takes it all on board and listens properly when I'm getting animated about something bunny related He's just fab though
