Well, we had our second bunny abut 1,5 years after the first. But that first has been 14 and we were just...youknow, very upset.
Then the second got ill and when it was clear she'd not live longer than 6 months (eventually became a year btw) we started looking for another bunny after we dealt with the feelings.
So we would casually mention our wishes for the next bunny, while still caring for the 'old one.'
Then she died and..about...1 month after, we got a new one.
And we were kindof...confused and it was difficult, because to us, that was too soon. But we díd love that new bunny a lot and he was so enthusiastic about going with us. We cried a lot, we made pictures, drawings, poems, statues of our second bunny and we're still upset about it, one year after.
But it's gradually getting better and we love our current bunny a lot.
I'd suggest 3-5 months are great, especially if you want to figure out what new type you want and whére it needs to come from. And youknow..once you've dealt with the old one's loss, maybe you had time to paint a painting/clay a statue/write a story, or somehow expressed your feelings.
If you can paint in your new home, it might be something to paint him on the wall, like a tiny dog above the lightswitch or something. So he's always there in the home with you.

We once thought we'd over-fed our bunny, Michelangelo.
So we put him on a 'diet' (which basically meant, no more sweets or extra banana/fruit and sugars.)
He then lost weight, but missed his sweets. We had a vet-appointment planned and the vet said; 'He's lost a bit of weight, why is that?'
We said; Well, he got very big and we figured we'd been overfeeding him with sweets. He got very slow and was easily tired.'
He said; 'His breed is supposed to have quite a broad head and big body. He's been tired because you're giving him the minimal amount of his food now, while he is a very active bunny and needs more. Others let the bunny sit in the cage, but you've made sure he's active and entertained. That's good, but he needs more food then. I'd advise you to give him this.'
And then he wrote down a whole amount, for our rabbitfood, sweets and extra's.
I mean, that rabbitstory probably doesn't count as 'fat pet', but I just wanted to mention the story, since it was such a fun thing to do, getting him back to his average weight with the banana-bits and the occasional sweets. Though I'm pretty sure most overweight animals are being spoiled. :P

It's very cute, but it seems the rabbit-breeder might not have been caring for her well.
She mentions the bunny dislikes if you pick her up (touch her stomach, where I see painfully discolored, raw, bare nipples) and that she doesn't like to be touched near her feet (probably has been sitting in a wire-cage.)
It's best not to adopt these bunnies, but just alert the authorities and get a healthy bunny without many problems or issues, that will live a long and happy life without additional health-costs. (I noticed she had snot underneath her nose, that's quite serious for bunnies, a cold isn't normal at all!)
Don't "rescue" a bunny, you're helping the wrong-way-breeder that way, who will replace her with a new one, leaving you with the hassle and costs.
This time it went alright, sure, but you need to leave the bunny there and call helpservices, rather than adopt the unhealthy bunny.

Exactly, but knowing the rate they'd procreate at, that means there'll be tons of rabbits running across the roads, causing accidents, birds of prey trying to eat them off the road, getting hit, people trying to hunt them down, rabbits getting diseases, other animals getting diseases and so on.
Almere in the Netherlands currently has a load of myxomatosis rabbits decomposing in their rabbitholes, the disease infecting other animals, etc.
Too much of one animal is not good, especially not if it's not "nature" we're working with, but it's towns and cities, with neighbourhoods and small forests and fields.

Okay, the stables are for sleeping..so the size doesn't matter.
As long as the horse gets resting periods, in which he stands still...and (important!) gets enough water and enough sleep and enough food...he'll be fine.
It's a good thing to give the horse resting days. And to give it holiday-breaks, such as having a few days a month in a large field.
That way, the horse will get enough excersize, enough food, daylight, water, sleep and love..I'm assuming the owner pets the animal too in this case...
And it'll socialize with horses every now and then.
Thát'd be the right way to do it. It's useless if you don't stick to those rules, because indeed, eventually the horse collapses, like a car would without fuel. It's just that a horse, is ofcourse, also an animal. So that makes it even worse.
You don't have to ban all carriages though, because some people do bad things. If that were the method, you'd ban éver item and évery person from évery place in the world.
Because sóme people misuse knifes and some people abuse their kids. That doesn't mean nobody can have kids.
Same with carriages. As long as the horse is indeed fine, then he's fine. It just needs to be checked better.

For anyone encountering a halfdrowned bunny, from my (not professional) point of view, this is what you should do:
(If you have any suggestions or corrections, let me know in the comments)
1. Make sure to grab a towel/cloth/scarf and use it to hold the bunny with. (For your own safety, it might bite.)
2. Hold the bit of the head (where the ears are attached to the head) carefully and your other hand should be on the stomach, flattened (for grip, you can put two fingers flat on both sides of his right-front-foot.)
3. Hold the bunny in position (don't let the head bounce around, hold it steadily) and firmly make a round movement with both of your arms downwards. (as if wanting to pass the bunny as a football, between your legs. Just not as far down and don't let go of him .)
The purpose is to move the fluids out of the lungs/mouth this way. Try this a couple of times.
The rest of what he did was quite good. (Just make sure the hairdryer is very lukewarm and never hot, if they are cold, their skin has no proper circulation, so the heat won't be able to spread and instead, stay in one place and cause burningwounds there.)
My idea came from a video in which they are rescueing fox-puppies, in a video of Wildlife Aid (it's called "First fox cubs dramatically arrive by cesarean!")
They do the same thing there, to get thick slime out. I figured if thick slime comes out, then maybe water works the same way.
If you disagree or have a different tip, please let me know. I'm not a professional, nor have I studied this, so perhaps my tip is as useful as an umbrella in a hurricane.
