Or a bunny using two bunnys as blanket. Would do both if i were that small

I didn't need this. But I might need it one day. Thank you!

Rabbits sit on each other to assert dominance.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Really? I mean the evidence suggests so, but why two dominants on the sub?

Maybe he's just a very bad boy?

Naughty Benjamin bunny!

Rabbits feel like the lizards of mammals. All freak out, no consideration, not relatable or really domesticated as pets. They can look cute while most will bite you and freak out if there is anything more than a whisper around them.

Yet, for some reason there is a group of folks that will love them forever despite zero emotional feedback or partnership with the animal… and still claim a snake that can’t gives two shits about you is the next puppy.

A previous roommate had a bunny and I've never had a problem with it, neither biting or freaking out. While my source is anecdotal and therefore meaningless, searches online also confirmed domesticated bunnies as social animals. What are you basing these statements on?

Sister owning a rabbit, friends owning rabbits, a buddy’s gf owning rabbit…

I'm sorry you've never had a pet rabbit bond with you before. They are social as fuck, people are just terrible at fulfilling their pets needs and understanding (and respecting!) what they communicate. That's not the animals fault.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s similar to a cat ownership thing. I’ve had totally social cats that are amazing while lots of people look at cats and say “they aren’t dogs”. And some cats frankly are hard to get along with compared to a dog breed engineered to retrieve and protect.

I imagine you can end up with a great rabbit connection, but suppose they just aren’t generally socialized enough for an easy connection. I personally have only experienced rabbits that are terrified of everything around them no matter how comfy you try to make things.

Okay I one time met a person who had chill rabbit but they were breeding it to eventually use its body parts for jewelry, after a long life of course…

Yeah in this case, dogs are easy mode. There are indeed some similarities between cats and rabbits, with two major differences:

  1. Rabbits are 100% prey animals with all that entails (stuff like having their eyes at sides of their head, used to being ambushed and chased down - consider something as simple as what angle to approach them from, as opposed to animals with eyes in front of head), and

  2. People usually keep rabbits in cages where their only socialisation is "visits" once or twice a day, if that, and their frustration will build to incredible degrees when denied their need to roam and investigate and chew and burrow, and bond with their family. "Body doubling" where the rabbit can inspect the whole space while keeping an eye on you as you do some chill activity from a safe distance is important to build trust. Not keeping them confined to a cage while we go about our lives and think they'll have any trust in us whenever WE feel like picking them up for a cuddle.

We are the predators, it's up to us to make them feel safe.
