    Rabbits feel like the lizards of mammals. All freak out, no consideration, not relatable or really domesticated as pets. They can look cute while most will bite you and freak out if there is anything more than a whisper around them.

    Yet, for some reason there is a group of folks that will love them forever despite zero emotional feedback or partnership with the animal… and still claim a snake that can’t gives two shits about you is the next puppy.

      I’m sorry you’ve never had a pet rabbit bond with you before. They are social as fuck, people are just terrible at fulfilling their pets needs and understanding (and respecting!) what they communicate. That’s not the animals fault.

      A previous roommate had a bunny and I’ve never had a problem with it, neither biting or freaking out. While my source is anecdotal and therefore meaningless, searches online also confirmed domesticated bunnies as social animals. What are you basing these statements on?
