We have a bunny. I just love this so much. They're such smart little critters!

Yes, rabbits are as smart as any cat and dog. Rabbit owners know how smart they are. Unfortunately rabbits are on the menu for every carnivore - that is the reason they have such large litters of kits and breed several times a year. They plague in most countries unfortunately and that includes New Zealand. It is such a shame because they are cute, smart, they don't make a mess and be trained just like any cat and dog. BUT - they plague.

Please note that these are not actually wild rabbits, but feral. Rabbits were introduced to New Zealand & are a big problem in some parts of the ecosystem:
