Bunny stories from Jerry in MissouriOnce a baby had been injured by a brush hog and I took it home and we took care of it for a couple days then let it back into the wild. This was 15+ years ago, I remember our oldest daughter, Kristen (now 20) named that bunny "two". What a crazy name for one bunny. Our first Easter together Kristen was 2 and we told her all about how the Easter Bunny had hid the eggs outside. When we went out there was a little bunny hopping around our yard, we walked up to it very softly and started petting it. We got to pet it quite a bit, it didn't seem very afraid. That helps sell the whole Easter Bunny story pretty good to a 2 yr. old.
Another time we were gonna mow for the first time in the spring and in some tall grass was a small bunny. Once again I approached him slowly and started rubbing between his ears, he was very calm as we all talked to him...
When I was about 13, I got a tame rabbit for a pet. One of those places where they will sell you the meat or the rabbit. I was very glad my dad let me get that rabbit so he didn't end up as the other choice. I ended up box training him just like a cat. He was really neat. He was a very pretty black and white mid-size bunny and my mom named him "Mr. Bunners". He had a great life with us, he lived freely in the house with our dog, and they got along great. I have seen them fall asleep against each other and the dog would eat lettuce because it didn't want the rabbit getting stuff that it didn't get. Now we had a very nice home, 3 levels, brand new and this rabbit got to live and run free inside, and he did not make any mess. In fact, we would travel across country with a truck and trailer to different places for vacation, and the rabbit would go. He went to Corpus Christi and Brownsville one year on a 3+ week trip. He road in front of the truck and we kept a small litter box in the trailer. Mr. Bunners always traveled in style (lol).
