We have tried a lot of things over the years. One of the things we tried was raising rabbits. It didn't work out so well. As you can see from the fact that this little fellow was allowed to play in the house, we didn't treat them like livestock. As a result most of our bunnies wound up as pets.
The last of the bunnies made it's escape from the hutches just about a year ago. I was out of town, a storm blew up, and the hutches tipped over. By the time that Tim got home from work, there was no catching them. They were free as the wind blows. The bunny above just wasn't able to completely let go of life with Verrettes. He was last seen this morning, nibbling the leaves off my hibiscus bushes.

They are so soft, how could they not be pets?
Oh dear... I recently saw a very white bunny sitting on the side of a busy road near Wal-Mart. I prayed for it to escape back to the wild instead of being smushed. I had little faith and was sure when I came back down the road it would be reduced to a tuft of fur, BUT he was not there... he escaped and I guess lives somewhere off in the meadow nearby. I don't know how bunnies got to be white instead of gray, but I am with you. I think they are difficult pets.
Aren't they cute? You're right, they don't look like livestock
Hehe, I got a pet bunny for Easter one year. We kept it for so long that it got too big for the pen we had for it. This bunny was *huge*. We ended up giving it to another little girl as a pet who had a better place to keep it.
Oh yeah, the rabbit's name was Buttons.
ahh, this reminds me of an uncle who did indeed have a successful business at livestock bunnying. I never saw one that looked like a gateway cow (1st pic), though.
I can't imagine why they would make good pets--do they fetch, bring you the paper, or curl up on your feet for good feet warmers in the winter? I dunno... bunnies could be different up there....
I had a friend who loved all animals...great and small...and in return, they loved her as much if not more. It was not unusual to go to her house and find two dogs, two cats and one bunny frolicking joyfully together in the backyard kennel built years before for the previous homeowner's hapless hunting dog. You couldn't help but stand there and smile...realizing that somewhere along the line, these critters forgot the food chain rule...and be glad.
I have enough wild ones in my yard that I needn't import any.

Once upon a time, I had a widdle pet bunny, called (originally enough) Fluffy.
It died eventually (didn't like the north east winters too much), and that very day was the day my Dad just happened to bring home some rabbit pie.
Cried? I almost dehydrated <g>
I used to have so many rabbits.... forgot to keep them apart
When I was in college, the apartment housing didn't allow anything but "rodents & fish" and so I got a bunny! He even got potty trained, but I couldn't leave him out when I wasn't watching him because of his love of chewing electrical cords. He'd get shocked & keep on chewing. (guess he wouldn't be a good candidate for Pavlov experiments.) The housing changed its rules to absolutely no pets of any kind so we had to give him away, but he looked A LOT like your black & white bunny! What a couple of cute bunny pictures!
They are adorable. And do make great pets. There are really only a couple of breeds that are used for eating, these do not look like they were it.
The most part of what you reply is true, I sense so
