When I was little I wanted a rabbit because I thought that because I was born in the year of the rabbit they would instantly like me. My parents bought me a beautiful black buck for my 7th or 8th birthday and we named him Midnight. We where new to rabbits as we'd had cats previously, so when we did some research we found that we should really have another to keep Midi company. At the time mum and dad swore he was a girl (Ignored me telling them it was a boy, even though I had sexed him myself, which i was very proud of doing at that age) and bought an 11 week old pure white, dwarf lop from the local pet store (we called her Magic due to her resembling a magician's bunny). As soon as we put them together Midnight mounted her and we decided to separate them. We took Midnight to the vets a few days later for his first shot and found out he was a boy. Now we still don't know exactly how it happened but about 2-3 months later, on easter sunday we went to clean them out and found three kitlings! We think that my younger sister thought it would be funny for them to 'play' together and was letting them both out at the same time but we still don't know. Either way they where our first litter and the only ones we kept as they where our real easter bunnies.
So the out of the rabbits that where "mine", Midnight lived with us for just under 9 years and we thing he was about 2 when we got him so he was a very old bunny. Magic and the buck of the litter, Sockx caught a virus that was going round which sadly killed a large number of rabbits in the area and we had to have Misty put down when she developed cancer at the age of 5.
Things have been pretty busy these past few years so we decided it wasn't fair to get any more bunnies until I'd settled down which I have now. If I ever move to a bigger house I might consider offering space as a rescue but unfortunately for the time being, there isn't enough room for that many.
Now I'm just a rabbit person, I think they're incredibly funny and loving little creatures who can be just as affectionate as a cat or a dog. I've never owned a bunny I didn't get on with, regardless of how grumpy they may be with other people. Even now, both our boys prefer me to my housemate, even though she doesn't treat them any differently.
