Five male Rabbits & Five female Rabbits
 

Many people love having pets and as well as (Dogs & Cats) the next favourite has to be (Rabbits):bigsmile:

I remember when I was younger that we had a Rabbit hutch with one Rabbit, which we called "Thumper". It was a brown Rabbit and it was so lovely & cute...:kiss:


Anyway, my question is:-

We know that Rabbits breed like mad and if you really, really love Rabbits and have the room (Of course), then you may buy 10 Rabbits, "5 Male & 5 Female"

But, in no time at all, 10 Rabbits will multiply fast and suddenly, it's 20, 30, 40, 50+ and then you have a real problem:mad::mad:

1) Do you think it is better to have all Male or all Female in Rabbits?

2) If you did have 10 Rabbits, 5 Male & 5 Female and you had the room, would you sell the "baby Rabbits" off to you friends?

3) Do you think 1 Rabbit is enough?

4) or Would you keep the lot, no matter what and build a massive Rabbit area in your garden.

The Hidden Costs of Breeding Your Rabbit
Holly O'Meara

Question: I want to breed my female rabbit. I understand that unspayed rabbits are susceptible to ovarian cancer. If I wait to have her spayed until after she has her babies, will the delay decrease her lifespan?
Answer: Waiting to spay your rabbit until after she has babies will probably not decrease her life span. However, it will decrease the life span of some wonderful rabbits you have never met.

If your rabbit has seven babies, and you and your friends have room in your lives for seven more rabbits, that means good homes for those rabbits. But those good homes could save the lives of seven equally deserving bunnies, destined to be destroyed at an animal shelter because no one wants them. Shouldn't those of us who love rabbits take responsibility not just for our own beloved companions but also for the less fortunate ones, waiting at shelters?

To complicate this sad fact of overpopulation, what if one of the adopters of your rabbit's babies also wants to have "just one litter"? And if one or two of those rabbits also are allowed to breed, the statistics tell us that within 2 generations, some of your rabbit's descendants are guaranteed to end up dead at a shelter.

One alternative would be to spay/neuter your rabbit's babies before they go to new homes. You would also need to be sure the adopters are making a commitment for the lifetime of each bunny. If any adopter decides at any time not to keep a rabbit, you will need to take back the rabbit. Another option is to not breed your rabbit.

Many people want to breed their rabbit because they find her so delightful, lovable, and beautiful. The joy of living with such a companion brings a wish to have these qualities in a second rabbit. Sometimes a friend will say, “I wish I had a rabbit as lovable as yours." Is this a good enough reason to breed your rabbit? Consider this: there is no guarantee that your rabbit's children will have the same personality as hers. Delightful rabbits are discovered as a relationship develops. There is no gene for "lovableness." The more time you spend with a rabbit, down at ground level where she feels most comfortable and confident, the more responsive and loving she will become — regardless of her breeding.

House Rabbit Society volunteers rescue and find homes for rabbits of all types, ages, and personalities. This work gives us insight into the process of finding the “perfect" companion. Sadly, it also puts us in direct contact with thousands of wonderful rabbits who are destroyed at shelters, simply because there are so many more great bunnies than there are responsible humans to care for them. So that we don't contribute to the suffering of any rabbit, we have all our rabbits spayed or neutered, regardless of breed or personality.

Thank you for your concern. We hope that you will find a way to cherish your rabbit, without breeding her.

What is this all about.:conf:

To go on:

Trainspotting. And what was that one about a bed of cash? :conf:

Me and my sister had two rabbits when we were little. Mine was called Fred and my sister's was called Daisy.

I just read that one, it was really really creepy

The bed of cash one?

Yeah. It was like a porn story!

I dont want to sound mean but all of these sex inuendos have really creeped me out.

Me too Chris.....:yuk:

I agree. This is a forum with members of all ages. A lot of members are minors. Members need to be careful with what they say. Age aside, I am an older member and even I found it weird and slightly disturbing.

It's amazing, this thread was started soon after my discussion with Nick in his teachers thread. It's all very weird and creepy.
