It is wonderful to share photos and hear of all the animals that bring joy into our world. I have 5 animals(all rescues) myself to distract me. We certainly learn from them. I started out with a 10 pound Papillon mix and a Flemish giant rabbit. He is a 21 pound house rabbit. I later got companions for them. In the process I ended up rescuing a 5 pound female dog and 2 female flemish giant mix rabbits. The rabbits were a bonded pair so I could not separate them. Rabbits are very social and clean animals. Just like the dogs, they are very affectionate. All the animals free roam in the living room so I can keep an eye on them. I have no worries because they all get along well with each other. Rabbits are similar to cats. They are litter box trained and spend time grooming one another. With repetition they also can be trained. My rabbits know the word to enter their cage (great dane size) at night for their safety. The dogs keep each other company at night in my bedroom. They like their crate for security. Five animals may seem like a lot but they all appreciate one another and I enjoy having them around.

@avmcbellar, Great to hear that your wonderful 5 cohabitate so well together. Makes you wonder why it is that different species can live together in harmony while we humans often find it so difficult. Have often wondered what it would be like to have a pet rabbit so it was neat to learn more about them. All of my kitties and my last dog adopted me. Each improved my quality of life in untold ways.
