  My cats will drink flat soda or energy drinks if you leave them out. Animals are weird.

  I once had a friend in school who had a rabbit. He took the vegetables off his burger and threw it in the cage with a couple strips of bacon. The rabbit sat on the tomato, devoured the bacon and then nibbled the lettuce a little bit. I still wonder to this day how a rabbit even digests bacon, let alone get an appetite for it.

    That rabbit was very lucky to have had such a strong stomach, rabbits uin general are unable to digest foods high in protein and gastric upset in rabbits can be very fatal. Its one of the scariest things as a rabbit owner.

      Yeah. I don’t know how long it lived, at least a year since then, after that who knows. Rabbits aren’t very long lived to begin with, and even less so when they sell them at the fair as tiny bunnies not neutered or spayed. Once you know how much work they are it seems kind of criminal.

        Rabbits aren’t very long lived to begin with

        A domestic rabbit has an expected life span of about 8-12 years which I’d say is decently long

        Not neutered or spayed

        But yeah, that will shorten their life span for sure. Rabbits are a lot of work too and they’re not for everyone! Most people don’t really know or care about the work that’s required to really take proper care of them.

  I had the same thought but he gets so very excited when we pull out the tube.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re not supposed to put the whole tube in
