Crockpot free to good home - PLACED

[Katie-Nicole]

** Placed ** Since we seem to have a bit of a bunny following... I have a lionhead rabbit that I would love to place in a good home. Free, including large cage. Her name is "Crockpot" because if she doesn't get her act together and be nice, that's where she'll wind up. She is agressive, will lunge and bite, and I have the scars on my hand to prove it. Not worth it to me to invest in the $294 the vet wants to spay her with no guarantee that it will improve her attitude. I have her out in the barn, because my dogs would love to eat her. I would really love to have her go to a "bunny whisperer" who may be able to work through her issues. If no bunny whisperer can be found, I don't know what to do with her. My cousin bought her for me at an auction, my fault because I said "Oh! She's so cute" and she sold for a dollar. I should have taken that as my warning. Feed time is interesting, because I take the feed scoop for the horses, pin her down with it in the corner of the cage, and work in her cage with my free hand. This is the only way to protect your flesh. She's not a breeding animal, so don't ask. She would probably cannibalize her young, and rip apart any other rabbit you bring near her. Think "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" She is the Satan Spawn of Rabbits. Any takers? Located in Western NY.

lmao

I see the Monty Python analogly... very very cute.... at a distance. Good Luck Thanks for the laugh.

[citydog]

You might want to change your thread title to indicate it's bunny-related. (I thought it was a linseed mash makin' crockpot. :) )

Good luck.

[nevertoolate]

LMAO!!! My daughter brought home an adorable mini-lop (of course, not returnable and she didn't ask first!) and after a month or so, that absolutely adorable bunny turned man-eater!! We wound up having to donate her to a bunny rescue AND pay for her spaying. Hope you have better luck! :winkgrin:

[skeetrider]

Your "Hell" rabbit is cute. LOL

[snkstacres]

too too funny. I never met a mean rabbit before and I worked on a rabbit farm with hundreds of them hahhahahaha Does she have a rabies shot LOL

[Katie-Nicole]

Oh, she's cute, I'll give her that. Yesterday I opened her cage to let her run loose in the feed room, and she ventured out into the barn aisle. I thought, "No big deal" and went about my business. Well that little f-er chased me down the aisle and lunged at me, ripping the leg of my jeans. It was everything I could do not to grab a shovel and chase her down myself... Or to fling her into the stall with my most agressive mare and see who wins... I hate that f-ing rabbit....

This is the link to the NY chapter of the House Rabbit Society. Maybe they can help, since they would be your best resource for "bunny whisperers." I'm hoping someone there would a) not be able to resist that face, and b) be willing to take on the um, challenge. Crockpot sounds like she's not for the novice bunny enthusiast. She's adorable.

If you click on Contacts, it'll take you to their regional coordinators.

Good luck!

With dog rescue groups, when you knowingly place an animal with a bite history you are forever responsible, even if the new owner was told, signs that the know history etc. Not sure here but my guess is if you give her away you might be sued 6 months later. Cause like with dogs there is always someone who will ignore you and let their two year old leap into the rabbit hutch, just cause he wants to. On the other hand you might collect a list here of people who want others ripped to shreds and we could send innocent looking crockpot around the US as a secret weapon.
Visions of Willie Wonka saying "oh, please, don't touch that" dance in my head.
maybe house rabbit folks could help with a low cost spay certificate?

[Katie-Nicole]

I contacted the house rabbit people with no success. They have too many adoptable rabbits to take in one that has a questionable future.

[Dune]

I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing thinking about an attack rabbit, she sounds like she'd have my bunny killing Jack Russell running for his life!:lol:

[WendellsGirl]

I'm not actively advising this, but alot of rabbit breeders will tell you to breed her. Alot of girl bunnies get aggressive until they have kits. But, then again, these are also breeders who don't have a problem making bunny stew with their culls. I raised alot of rabbits in my 4H years, but I wasn't real successful at it because I kept everything I bred. Some were successful show winners, some were not, but they all had a home with me.

You've already done a nice thing for this bunny just by bringing her home from the auction. I'm sure she would have been stew a long time ago if it weren't for you.

[lcw579]

I am getting the funniest visual picturing that cute little bunny chasing you down the aisle and attacking you! :lol::lol::lol:

Not that I'm advocating this but..... my brother had a bunny that escaped years and years ago and met up with the local rabbits and well, let's just say we had some very interesting looking bunnies hopping around our neighborhood for the next few years! :D:D

[event1]

OMG-I am laughing so hard at your post-because I had the exact same rabbit-an attack one that is-that was a lion-head too. Her name was "Cramer" ya know-like the character on Seinfeld with the hair...Anyway-the thing was vicious! She had this little wooden house that she would sit in and when I would go to feed her-she would come flying out of it at me-making this grunting noise. If you would put your hand in her cage and grab one of her toys-she would come charging out and start attacking the toy too. She bit me plenty of times too. My friend Tina came over for my 40th birthday party and was in love with the thing-so she got to take it home as a parting gift-cage and all. I will never get another rabbit cause they STINK too!:D

[4Martini]

I had an evil pet rabbit as a child. This totally took me back :lol:

Ski gloves are your friend!

Good Luck!

[blazn]

I feel your pain, too.

Many years ago when I was still on a career track I wanted a pet in the worst way. The Humane Society wouldn't approve me for a kitten because I was gone all day at work, but they were thrilled to approve me for a rabbit. That should have been a clue. We lived in a big city, the rabbit and I, and we were both lonely for the wild open spaces of our dreams. He ran loose in my big open loft apartment and ate the woodwork, the rugs, the furniture and once ate the telephone cord while I was on the phone ("Hello? Hello?"). After eating the furniture he liked to rest in the bathroom between the toilet and the wall. It was probably the most den-like place in the entire open floor plan. I gave a lot of parties then. People occasionally had to use the bathroom. Sometimes all hell would break loose in there. My dinner guests felt your pain, too.

And the house rabbit people couldn't help me either.

[Horsecrazy27]

Have you tried that?

:)

I have a girlfriend who is TERRIFIED of bunnys because of the same type of attack. I was house sitting for her neighbor who had a very very friendly lop eared bunny. Named Floppy. Well, that same neighbor had a bird-some kind of parrot. Well, I'm terrified of birds and the dang birg squeezed out of the cage! I ran out of the house and over to my girlfriends. She comes over, goes into the kitchen, then she spots the bunny and high tails it out of the house and screams at me about the bunny being out of it's cage!! LOL So, we had to recruit another neighbor to put in the rabbit, so she could put in the bird. LOL....it was quite funny.

[McVillesMom]

My husband took one look at that picture, saw the brown fur, and said "Is that BLOOD?" :lol:

Good luck with your bunny :sadsmile:

Just for giggles, for those who have never seen it.

[dawglover]

hey, there's a python listed here in the Giveaways...maybe whoever takes the snake will want ol Crockpot too.;)

I know...that was awful of me...

[Baroque-n-Dreams]

Hmmm - I wonder if she would be good at protecting my foals from the local coyotes that are constantly around.

We have a couple donkeys who usually do the job, but maybe I could have her take shifts so they can have a few days off....

[lcw579]

bumping up the attack bunny

[Katie-Nicole]

For some reason, she is still available...

[Sandra6500]

I wish you were closer. I'd like to at least meet the satanic critter.

[Milocalwinnings]

For some reason, she is still available...



Couldn't imagine why...:lol:

Would it not be better to just euthanize her? She sounds like a nasty little bugger and might be better for everyone lol.

[PalominoMorgan]

Maybe try the rabbit lady. I'm sure she would take her. When you have 200 what is one more? I'll look around to find her info and PM you.

[Katie-Nicole]

Oh, Palomino Morgan... You're in WNY. PM me with your address and I'll be happy to drop her off!

[PalominoMorgan]

Will she eat my neighbor's 3 rabbits that seem to have made my hay barn their home?!?! GRRRRRRRRRR. If she will, hubby may let her hang around. Of course, we have a small child now so maybe it won't be such a good idea when the peanut is learning to crawl and playing in the yard. (Her fingers are SO tiny I'm sure an attack bunny would take off a few with minimal effort. :()

[zagafi]

I'm sorry, but this has me HOWLING! I think maybe she IS the bunny from "Holy Grail" come to life!

[tidy rabbit]

Set your bunny free. If she comes back to you from the state park 20 miles down the road then you'll know she loves you!

[graceridgefarms]

Maybe there's a good Junk Yard near ya that needs to replace their dogs?

[PalominoMorgan]

Set your bunny free. If she comes back to you from the state park 20 miles down the road then you'll know she loves you!

This is what happened to two of my neighbor's rabbits who made my house their home. They didn't come back. LOL. Guess they didn't love their old home enough. :yes:

[vxf111]

This is so funny. No it's not. Okay, yes it is.

But in all seriousness, don't let a domestic animal loose. That is curelty of the highest sort. They don't have the defense mechanisms and will likely have a painful death as a toy to some dog, smooshed by a car and left to limp off into the brushes and bleed to death, etc. If you can't find someone who will have her evilness, euthanasia does not sound out of line.

[MaxDegree]

Oh boy!! I just got a good laught from everyone. I too would let the bunny lose without approving it. Heh. Cute bunnies at least. :D

[Bailarina]

This is killing me. I don't live that far from you and I'm currently looking into adopting a female bun to bond with my male. The only catch is it has to be fixed, since my male cannot be due to airway issues (not contagious). I LOVE Lionheads! Do you think that she would calm down with another bun, or play the one from Monty Python? I don't want to risk hurting my male....

[Tiempo]

OMG..she is the cutest thing ever.

But no, I don't want her :winkgrin::lol:

[a leg at each corner]

... it's General Woundwort!

[lcw579]

I was telling my mother about Crockpot and she told me a tale of a bunny she and my dad had bought for my sisters before I was born...
This bunny was also a killer - literally - turns out it not only attacked the hands that fed it but also killed the chicks my parents had bought. :no: When the farmer down the road took it home to join his barnyard gang it chased down and killed some full grown chickens too :eek: And that, I believe was the end of that particular killer bunny - he did indeed, end up in a crockpot or at least a plate!

[ayrabz]

OMG...SUCH a funny thread! Hey, one thought: YOU fell for her at an auction...maybe that would be an avenue to find her a new satan bunny loving home?:D?

[ChristieNCritters]

OMG...I'm sorry for your pain, but this IS hilarious! :lol:

[BlueWillow]

Hi Katie-Nicole, sorry for your CrockPot troubles!

I am brand new--and am both a horse person and a bunny person. A horse friend pointed me to your thread.

I am very interested in giving your mischievious bunny girl a home. (Yes, you may judge my sanity, based on this, hehe.)

Seriously, though, I have a small-home based bunny rescue, currently not taking any new intakes, but I have a Lop boy who lost his bondmate several months ago and is very lonely. His bondmate was quite the diva as well, so they hopefully would be quite suited to each other.

I have a good rabbit vet here--my Lop boy is neutered and I would plan on spaying Crockpot, then introducing them.

I've been doing rabbit rescue and rehab for years, have a lot of support, and I have a lot of experience with, er, shall we say "difficult" bunnies.

So, not sure I am The Bunny Whisperer you are looking for, but if you're interested, email me. We would have to work out transport arrangements, but I have friends who would be glad to help.

[Showjumper28]

If Bluewillow doesn't work out, I just might take her. I have an ex-BM that was sucha jerk that it might be worth it to let it loose in his car... JK

[ChristieNCritters]

Yay!!! I hope a new home with BlueWillow works out for Crockpot! :)

[BlueWillow]

Hey Katie-Nicole, did you get my email?

My email software is quirky at best, so just checking in to make sure you got it.

Was going to start working out transport details with some friends, since I know you're anxious to get Crockpot into a new home soon.

Let me know, thanks!

[Katie-Nicole]

Crockpot actually left yesterday to her new home with Karla in Vermont. Karla promises to don hockey pads if need be to provide this hell bunny a new home. Good luck to them both!

[BlueWillow]

Katie-Nicole, thank you for posting this update.

As I had mentioned to you, I had several folks working hard to make the transport happen, and since there were no PMs or email responses from you, we'd continued on that, assuming the bunny was still looking for placement.

Glad to have an answer now, and sincerely hope this is a knowledgeable bunny adopter, who will make sure the bunny's needs are met, including a spay and good vet check-up.

Good luck to Karla and the cute bunny girl.

If something happens that this placement does not work out, feel free to forward my contact info to Karla and we'll be glad to continue to help.

Have a good day!

[ChristieNCritters]

YAY for Crockpot!!! :D:D:D

ETA: YAY for Karla too!!! Good luck!!! :winkgrin:

ETA also: Good effort for BlueWillow!!! YAY for trying even though you didn't get Crockpot! That's a lucky bunny. :yes:

[Gaslight]

Karla here--

Demelza (formerly Crockpot) is the sweetest bunny! She's, ahem, horny, but Thursday she has a date with the vet to take care of that! She loves her new condo and can sniff her bun-neighbors. The neutered male might have jumpstarted her hormones, but he couldn't care less about her agitated state.

She snuggled for the first time last night and has jumped into my lap.

It's weird, though - the picture that had been posted here doesn't match her current markings. It's like she's two different rabbits....

ETA2: Oh, it looks like you just snagged a lionhead photo from the internet. Original Photo (http://exoticpets.about.com/od/rabbits/ig/Pet--------------Pictures/Tinkerbelle---Lionhead-Rabbit.htm)

[Katie-Nicole]

The photo was sent to me by a friend, saying it was taken of Crockpot. I'll be honest, I didn't look at that little monster all that much. Frankly, she was so evil, that opening up her cage to take any other pics of her was out of the question. I'm sorry about the confusion. Glad she made it to you well.
