I love all animals. I question some animals as pets, or is it fair to the animal. The animals at zoos I question too! I would rather live a short life and live in the wild than live in a cage in an unnatural environment.  The same for the killer whales living in captivity.

...Well said...I knew there was more to you than meets the eye....

Mart is right. In the wild all rodents chew on something to keep there teeth worn down. Squirrel eats nuts, beavers cut down trees and rabbits chew on the bark of shrubs and trees. In winter it is their entire diet in colder areas. If their teeth get long they wont' be able to eat and will starve to death because they can only open their mouths a certain distance.

and to continue what Kermit was saying...their bottom inscisors...have been known to grow up through their upper jaw...therefore if you are intent on keeping yer bunny in a cage with a blanket...make sure you give him a nice bone... ...

Wow, I just learned more about rabbits than I ever knew.  On my grandparent's farm they had everything (true southern farm) including lots of hutches for rabbits.  All I know is that we had a large group of cousins.  I was second to the youngest and they loved cramming me and my youngest cousin into the rabbit pin and locking us in instead of watching us like they were supposed to!  We would be hoarse from yelling.  At first our parents/aunts/uncles didn't believe it but the pressure marks from the wire hutch bottom imprinted on our "south sides" was living proof!  LOL 

I have several friends that have them as house pets as well - litter box trained!
