Rabbits. Rabbits are fuckin' awesome. Did you know they don't have paw pads like cats and dogs? There's just fur there, which means they have less traction on slick surfaces. They can be taught to use a litterbox, too !
They also have such different personalities from cats and dogs. Netherland dwarf bunnies are twenty pounds of bunny in a 2 pound body. They're crazy energetic and need plenty of space even though they're tiny. The bigger a bunny gets the more chill they generally are, but the bigger the bun the more likely there will be issues with their back or other joints as they get older.
I am getting a bun soon myself! Do you have one at the moment?
I don't, mostly because my apartment doesn't allow animals. I very much want one though! What kind of bun are you getting?
I haven’t really decided yet, but I think Harlequins are super cute and are said to have great personalities.
They are gorgeous! I hope you find a perfect bun (or two, they are usually happier in pairs and two buns is about the same amount of work as one)!
Great point about getting a pair!
Do rabbits need a companion, especially if their owners can't match their energy level? Also, is keeping an indoor rabbit with cats a bad idea?
It's better to have a pair, because rabbits are very very social animals. A lone bunny can get bored, anxious, and very very destructive. The trade off is that the pair may not be as cuddly and attentive to their owner as a lone bunny, but they will be immeasurably happier.
Cats are predators, and rabbits are prey animals. You can have cats and rabbits together but it's not recommended - it takes less than a second for Kitty to go from "this is a friend" to "this is dinner", or for BunBun to literally kick the guts out of its former pal. Same thing with dogs; bunnies can and will end up on the wrong end of the prey instinct and can either get destroyed or end up dead of shock/fright. And people are not fast enough to keep these things from happening in 99% of cases.
Side note: some people keep rabbits and guinea pigs together. This is a terrible idea because even though their diets and habits are similar, guinea pigs carry bacteria in their guts that can absolutely fuck up a bunny.
