At least if he gets unruly you can point to the pot of boiled veg on the hob and tell him to cop on.

Fatal attraction is another one to watch.

They love to eat chair legs, skirting boards and doors. Basically they love a good chew. Oh and wires, they love chewing the wires.

Mine have never eaten chair legs, skirting boards or doors, but my god they're mad for the wires. They've nearly cooked themselves several times over.

Don't let the dog near them, even if it doesn't harm it, they can die of fright really easily, not worth it.

They also don't just sleep, they gallop around like arseholes at stupid o'clock and start banging their food plate around the place if they think it's time they got fed.

My friends flat is wrecked and I'm sure they will sit on the couch one day and it will just collapse from the legs being chewed.

Don't use a taser on it what ever you do!

They breed like the proverbial, you'll have dozens by the time you give it back.

Male rabbits will hump anything, so when he gets his lipstick out, kick him as hard as you can in the nuts and he'll not get off the floor for 4 days

Their digestive system is a bit underdeveloped for what they eat so they have two goes at it.

Why not wash them? They drown easy?

How fun!

Keep the water bottle full, get them chomping on carrots, don't let him / her escape and throw in some lettuce / food pellets, and I think they like balls.

I'm not sure if they need any interaction, they seem to live in their own world

Oh and don't let the enclosure fill up with too many ****e balls

They can go into shock when you put them into water.

What ever you do, don't let the rabbit outside, they can be a feckin' nightmare to catch. I have a scare to prove it, but a small one at that.

Yep, if you're giving him ham and cheese toasted sandwiches, you should just stick with it, never ever give them anything different, like chicken and cheese toasted sandwiches.

Apparently mixen-me-toasties is a major killer of rabbits

Specialun

His eating my xmas tree wires..he even nearly knocked over the tree by eating the carboard stuffed into the stand

His hyper and hard to fast

Can i just leave him in his cage..im too lazy and fat for this

He is only trying to assert his authority in your home

Did you eat the rabbit yet?

Serious post though. The rabbit has lived in the same place around a different bunch of humans, moving it in a car was probably quite stressful and with everyone in your house going ooh a rabbit every 5 mins its probably scared stiff.

Put a towel over half of his hutch so the rabbit can choose between dark and shade, give him an apple with a bite taken out (they have trouble getting though the skin initially) and around 1/4 pint of water and leave the room - with the light on. If he throws bedding or food bowl around he is pissed off and asserting the cage is his territory. Keep your hands out of the cage if you see this, it means the rabbit is super pissed off and might bite. Leave him be.

Remember also rabbits are burrowing animals, they love hiding and are master escape artists and they should never ever go near dogs or cats - be careful with your freinds pet.

Worked with a lot of lab animals.

Also the advice on how to lift rabbits is wrong. index and middle fingers gently holding the front legs with one hand, support the rabbits back with the other hand, anything within kicking range of their back legs will be kicked so dont point the rabbit at anyone haah

BrokenArrows

Leave the cage open and the front door open.
Job done. You only had to watch it for an hour, tops.

Iranoutofideas

Keep it entertained OP. Rabbits can die of boredom. A nice aul movie and a bit of popcorn, not that salty ****e now you want the buttery kind. Throw on a bit of Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park or Donnie Darko. Rabbits love Sci-Fi. Or maybe thats Bishops? I'm pretty sure its rabbits though.

Good luck OP.
