Our pet rabbit... One year on!

You all should get a rabbit. I love rabbit although our rabbit does have her own flaws but she is still so cute!
Its been a year since we brought our rabbit home and what a year it has been. Below is the link to my post about bringing home our pet home last year. Look how small she was!


I would rather have a rabbit than a cat. For one, rabbit is so quiet. No noise at all, you hardly know she is there. Rabbit is such a joy to have around the house. Everytime we open her cage, she would jump out and run around the house like crazy, and in the end settle at her favourite spot near our couch. When she was little, she used to jump on our sofa all the time, and deposit her things on it. Oh.. she is now one year 3 months old and been with us a year this month. I don’t want her to jump on the sofa and make a mess so I yelled “No!” and gestured her to jump down so she knew I was angry and she would she jumped down very quickly. She doesn’t do that any more.

Rabbit is so easy to train. Our rabbit is litter trained. She doesn’t go and do her things anywhere but in her cage or her litter box. My girl loves to pick her up and cuddle her. She will lay still or even close her eyes when my girl does that, so cute.

She is easy to look after too. This is how her days are spent with us. We don’t need to bath her and she always keep herself clean (more like a cat, licks her fur all the time). But we do need to trim or clip her nails at least once a month. This can be very tricky most of the time. She doesn’t like her feet to be touched so much. So its hard to hold them in place and clip the nails. It used to be a struggle. But then we found a good way to do this, and I must praise my girl for it. Since our rabbit loves to be cuddled, she enjoys it so much that she even close her eyes and be in a trance for a long time. She can even do that with her legs up in the air. So during this time, my girl will start to clip her nails with her special clippers and waalaa…. Its done!

She doesn’t go out of he cage so much when we are at work or when our girl is at school. But my girl always make sure she goes out of her cage every night while my girl cleans her cage. This is the best time for her, she jumps out and does her binky and look so cute and cuddly. (oh.. binky is when she jumps in the air and twist her body in mid air, meaning she is happy!)

We give her meals twice a day. In the morning she gets to have her pellets, dry food from the pet shop and also her hay. At night she usually get at least 2 types of vegetables. We don’t give her fruits so much since most fruits are sweet and sugary and its not good for her health. But she does get it occasionally.

Her only shortcoming is that she doesn’t want to do anything we want her to do. Like teach her some tricks or skills. She is simply not interested LOL!!! But she is still such a cute little feline.

So there.. we would like to have more rabbits at home, since one is so lonely. But we need to figure out where to keep them. At the moment, our rabbit is living in our living room!

Hope you enjoy pictures of our rabbit, oh,.. by the way her name is Robbie. Isnt she cute?
