~About the thread owner~
When I was a kid, I pretty much grew up with rabbits. Throughout the years, I've learned how to keep and make sure my cotton tails were happy. <3 My rabbits are simply pets, but they were trained to walk on harnesses, commands, and more! My bunnies has always been free roam buns.

As an adult, I started adopting my own. My most recent bun is named Winnie, and they are an albino french lop. I've adopted them in January 2023. In 2022, I lost my English spot/Lionhead bunny; Roxy. She was the first bunny I've adopted myself. Her memory still lives on to this day. She's even in the thread's header! Doing a classic 'bun loaf'.

Quick bunny facts!


• A female rabbit is called a doe.
  
• A male rabbit is called a buck.
• A young rabbit is called a kit (or kitten).
• Rabbits have 28 teeth!
• Rabbits are born with their eyes closed and without fur. Hares are the opposite!
• Domestic rabbits have a life expectancy of about 7 to 10 years.
• Adult rabbits (depending on breed) can weigh 1.5 to 20+ pounds.
• Rabbits are NOT rodents. Rabbits are in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha.
• Rabbit ears aren't just for listening! They also help regulate body temperature.
• Most rabbits don't make good pets for small children, because they often kick/scratch when scared or not fully supported when being picked up.

Whooo fresh new thread smell!
I currently only own two bunnies.



These are Tikki (4, doe) and Löffelbiskuit (at least 3, buck), both are rescues.
Tikki is a mixed breed of at least Dutch and Dwarf, I used to also own her parents. Löffel is a Mini Rex.

Your rabbit's names! (Put 'Future bun owner' if non-owner): Falafel and Benji! I think Falafel is a mini rex but I'm not 100% sure, he just kinda showed up in our yard one day so I just compared him to a lot of different breeds online lol. Benji is a rex/american and was adopted from the shelter.
