I love agouti bunnies too! 
Personally I think it's because they're considered too "normal" or even "boring" by people looking for a first time rabbit. Who wants an "everyday" rabbit when there's unsual ginger ones and fancy herliquin ones with their unique markings? It's a shame but just from speaking to people I know who aren't really into bunnies they'd rather opt for a more interseting "statement" bunny than your average run of the mill wild type one.
Definatly not my views though and I do apprecaite it sounds like I'm describing a handbag as opposed to a real life creature, but it's just the impression I get from people around me

I think that really is how a lot of people see it. To so many people, they are just "cute" living teddy bears.
A friend of mine the other day said how she wanted a tortoise because "it would be quite cool to have one, but they dont really do much do they". I am really not sure how serious she was.

I've said something incredibly similar myself actually :lol:
I saw some long tailed lizards and I really really wanted one just because they're cool. But then I realised in the time I'd stood there looking at them they hadn't really entertained me more than a photograph would.

Well, I've probably had the same thought but at the end of the day its a commitment and a responsibility and these animals deserve a loving home where they can be themselves - rather than being a plaything or a status symbol, which was more my interpretation of what she was saying.

I know a lot of people who want an unusual pet to make them seem that little bit more "wild". :roll:

My brother isn't really interested in my harlequin, Daphne, he loves Lucy because she looks like a wild bun (although she isn't agouti just browny-ginger) and Castiel even though he's black I suppose it's different really though because they are my pets so he knows their personalities, if he was just going off looks he might choose a 'patterned' bun.

I love agouti bunny ...I lost my only one a few month back I used to call her my true looking bunny..I wonder if my group would accept a baby? as there more than enough room to add more into it they are in a 8 by 6 shed with a large 12footby 6 foot run attached with there own outside warren

I have always liked them as they are "natural" looking. I now have one by default (someone's daughter.......usual story). She is the most delightful bunny, so gentle and wants company. Currently trying to bond her with my other two.:roll:
