Creepy Rabbit Story (Reply to this comment)
by DavidK93
Hi Deborah,
A woman I work with had a "breeding pair" of rabbits, and they had a litter. It was the female's first litter, and...she ate the bunnies. The mother ate her babies. Apparently, first-time rabbit moms sometimes panic and do that. I sure am glad that instinct got weeded out by evolution...

Good grief! (Reply to this comment)

I was just reading back over my last comment. I meant to say that the rabbit lived "to a ripe old age" not that she, personally, was ripe. I absolutely don't do my best writing at three-thirty in the morning.
Sounds like Attila and your cousin's rabbit were soul-sisters!

You remind me of a cousin's story about her terror-rabbit. Perhaps it should be "Terror-Rabbit", sort of like the killer bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. She said she should have guessed something was wrong when the pet store owner kept dropping the price as she was debating about getting the bunny. Not being one to resist a sale (who can?), she ended up getting it.
It beat up her dogs! It kicked people! The pet store wouldn't take it back. Finally she got so fed up she set it free in the country (not something of which I approve, but if it was half as bad as she said, there would have been a contract out on her life the next day had she given it away). I would imagine this particular rabbit had been abused early in life, or perhaps it was just the rabbit Damien. Who knows?

...before I got a rabbit. The cuddly little long-eared critter who entranced me at the pet shop turned my home into a war zone.
-She chewed everything, from books, to important papers, to furniture, to clothes, to electric cords.
-She terrorized my cats. I had been worried about protecting the rabbit from them. I should have worried about the poor cats. They fled in fear when "Attila the Bun" was out of the cage.
-When I let her out, she wouldn't go back into the cage.
-When I didn't let her out, she banged against the cage in the wee hours of the morning so I couldn't sleep.
-She wouldn't eat half the commercial rabbit foods on the market. She would, however, eat my only "proof of insurance" card for my car. Have you ever tried explaining to an insurance rep that you need another copy of documentation because your rabbit ate the original? For all I know, he's still laughing!
Although I did care for little Attila, I finally had to admit that mine was not a rabbit-friendly household. I found a home for her with a friend of a friend, where she lived to be a ripe old rabbit. The family who got her adored her and couldn't understand why on earth I had ever given her up. So...I think rabbits can be wonderful pets...but if I had known what I was getting into (say, if I'd read your excellent article before I broght one home), I'd have left Attila at the pet shop!
