One fine Grabbit


panda grabbit

Drumroll..introducing the latest addition to my family - Panda/Pandy the Grabbit

I've never been allowed to keep pets that had potential to run amok in the house. So the last count over the past 23 years i've only had a terrapin and a fish. So when i recently suggested to dad that i wanted to adopt a cat, he said that mum wanted a rabbit. Typical since a rabbit would be confined to its cage anyway.

It was an uncanny coincidence that the Guardian Angel and I had chanced upon the most unique bunny. His identical black eye patches, black ears and his shapely black eyebrows against his white body attracted a long lingering look. Who would have imagined that a cosmic twist in procreation would lead to a rabbit looking like a Panda. Maybe the storks were drowsy from all the flying and sent a Panda's offspring to a Rabbit. Or perhaps the Pandas got high on all the young bamboo shoots they gorge and mistook a cutsie wrabbit for a female compatriot.

Not long after our acquaintance i knew i had to come up with a way to make him mine. So i coyly suggested to dad we should get this rabbit since we haven't gotten mum anything for teachers's day (yeah she teaches brats =P). And in what seemed like a second, Panda/Pandy was sitting in a box, waiting to be ferried home.

It's funny how even the most rigid people just losen up and sound like a kiddy adolescent when they encounter a cute little critter. Within minutes of meeting, my mum was gushing and talking to the bundle of fur like it was her own child.

Is it a boy or a girl? Dunno? If it's a boy we must call it Panda, if it's a girl then it must be a Pandy!

I checked up numerous websites on how to check the gender of a rabbit. But for the life of me, every time i attempt to look, i just can't see beyond the asshole. So as of now, i'm assuming it's a boy but ummm i really couldn't tell cus there was too much hair.

H E L P

So the ambiguity's still stands as to whether it's a boy or a girl. Maybe it's still too young to tell...oh well, till another day of staring at Rabbit privates produces more productive answers then.

I joked to the Angel that his eye patches look like Don Juan or Zorro so must make a cape for him. We have also planned to bring it over to the Angel's big garden for lawn mowing sessions: yeah set up an enclosure so it will eat one section, then move to another location for the next section.

Oh yeah, i let Panda/Pandy outta it's box. I wanted it have some extra execise besides its one foot by half foot box. Heh.

I thot rabbits only scratch and bite when they are nervous? apparently their teeth chatter too!

Woof - dry food reduces the smell. The droppings dry up pretty quickly then they wont smell. And rabbits tend to pee in the same location in its cage. Now go get a fur ball and we can start a competition for the cutest pet!!

Whoever gets or has a cute-until-can-die pet please post pics on your blog.

I can never have a pet. Even cacti die on me. I can only take good care of electronic appliances.

Yeah, I won't make rabbit stew or anything. I'm as much of a herbivore as your Panda/Pandy. ;-)

So, does your grabbit munch on carrots a la Bugs Bunny?

What a great site! Hi Lost In Transition. I was surfing the search engines for rabbit related websites using the keyword rabbit cage and found your awesome page with the title One fine Grabbit . I am looking for ideas on how to improve my own site using different keywords and was amazed how easy it was to find your site using the keyword rabbit cage. Perhaps we could do a link exchange at some point. Anyway, thanks for your time and I’m glad I found your site.
