And I am hosting four in my basement (including one that talks, loudly, in his sleep) trying to dig their way outside! Nadine, Ha!

Rosalie was all those things too which was a revelation to me as well. We were constantly in awe of her. Please keep going with your wonderful advocacy and education. What a great contribution to the rabbit kingdom. p.s. I love Watership Down! Both book and movie. BTW, Rosalie built her own warren which curiously ended at the footings of the house, three feet under the back door doormat. Perhaps she thought she'd eventually dig her way into the house and join us. =:o) Mary Mary,

She was a smart, gentle, assertive and communicative rabbit. I had no idea they were capable of much more than eating and sleeping. She inspired me to become very active in advocacy/education for domestic rabbits. So, every time I take a call or email from a rabbit owner or teach a class or learn a new skill (as of six weeks ago I can give Pen G injections like a pro and I watched a necropsy for the first time last week) ... my best bunny girl lives on. She had the run of the upstairs (with her best friend) and a huge digging box. Even at age 11, she was very active and her blood work came back perfect. She died of pneumonia. :-( PS to Deanna ... her last meal was a small bunch of organic mint. She tore it from my hand! It was the first time she'd shown interest in food in days. It was winter here, so I drove to the store to buy it. I'm so glad she had one of her favorite treats that day. Nadine, I do. She was a smart, gentle, assertive and communicative rabbit.

Yes, it sounds like somebody wanted her to be his or her own bunny. I lost my heart rabbit a few months ago at age 11. I have worked with hundreds of rabbits over the years and only one has come close to her. What a sad story. Yes, it sounds like somebody wanted her to be his or her own bunny.

She had the personality of an Angora and the sturdiness of the French Lop with a beautiful coat. We had Rosalie for about four years. One day she got out and a milkman returned her to the yard. Sometime later she disappeared again. We never found any way she could have gotten out either time--six foot fencing and no holes anywhere. We wondered if the milkman came back for her. Our side gate wasn't locked, so it could have been anyone. Needless to say, we were all devastated. After Rosalie there were others, even an Angora, who were all sweet and cute, but none quite like Rosalie. She was truly unique. Mary - Yes, Rosalie really was gorgeous.

I am fostering an Angora, and she is one of the most confident, curious and skin-hungry rabbits I've ever met. She just loves to be petted and loves to play chase (she chases me). I can't keep up with the matting so I keep her fur cut short. How long did your rabbit live? Nadine,
