One of my pastimes is tempting SWMBO's pet rabbit with food I assume she won't like, sometimes I'm surprised by what she will/won't eat. She likes cookies and potato chips, Taco Bell cinnamin twists, pop tarts and jonses for bananas or peanut butter.

She abhors things with meat (like bacon or hamburger) and apparently anything with alcohol. Including homebrew, apfelwine and (just recently discovered) wiskey sours.

Maybe I should open this up for suggestions of what to attempt to feed our rabbit?

Any takers?
 
You know that bunny will die if you listen to us don't you?

That being said. :D

It seems salts and sweets are the furry little buggers favorites. I would start experimenting and seeing which one bunny likes better. Pringles or Lays? Doritos or Tostitos? Jif or Peter Pan?

If the guys firing muskets years ago would have known this, they could have saved huge bucks on lead shot by using constipated rabbit pellets instead...

:drunk:

I had a pet rabbit in college and it absolutely LOVED beer. She would knock over my bottles and/or cans and lap up whatever spilled out. And she was a beer snob, too! She loved my microbrews more than my Keystone Ice (watch those snob-comments - I prefaced this by saying I was in college). Nothing funnier than a drunk rabbit.

Our dog (a 10 pound shih-tzu), on the other hand, has a taste for Hops' cousin. I woke up one morning to find a plastic baggy from my pants pocket shredded all over the floor of our bedroom and down approximately 1 gram ($20 worth) of product. I was angry and ready to scold, but one look into my poor stoned dog's eyes let me know that she already realized she'd done a bad thing. Nothing more funny-pathetic (funthetic?) than a pet who's feeling bad about over-indulging. She was baked for a day and a half.

Chong: ".... I had to follow the little m*therf*cker around with a little baggie for three days to get it back. It really blew the dog's mind, man."

Cheech: "I wonder what Great Dane tastes like."
 
How would you ever know a rabbit was stoned? Wouldn't it be a little like watching mead ferment?
 
ROTMFFLMAO!!!! You guys are FUNNY!!! I have tears coming out of my eyes...:D

We used to get a hedgehog stoned on hash in Germany...rolled up into a ball...couldn't tell if anything was happening since that's what they do anyway...:confused:

PS I hear tell Great Dane tastes a lot like ****-ZU!!!...;)
 
This stuff. I fed it to a dog once.

Oh man! FizzWiz (or it's competitor: Pop Rocks). That'll be a difficult suggestion to top!!!!

But I sorta wonder what would happen if you filled the rabbit's water bottle up with redbull.
 
Hmm, you really are talking about teasing the pet. I thought this thread was going to be along the lines of "choking the chicken" or "spanking the monkey". :D
 
She actually ate a strawberry garnish off of my wife's pina colada once and was out of commission for the whole next day--bunny hangover.

The redbull idea is interesting; rabbits are either lethargic or hyperactive depending on the time of day. I would have to get a video camera to catch "super spaz" in action.
 
Does the bunny wunny like hops?

A little hopsy-wopsy for the hippity-hop, perhaps? That'll get him hopping! :p



In pellet form, of course. Right in with his food.

I got an 80lb German Shepherd high when I was a teenager. He laid out in the middle of the yard that night with all four feet in the air. It was, like 20 degrees that night. I was scared he'd freeze to death and my Dad would kill me. Had to drag him into the shed. Forevermore after that, he'd try to eat my weed when he could. Stoner.
 
We had a ferret once that absolutely loved beer. If you opened a beer, no matter where he was in the house, in a few minutes he'd show up. I'd give him a little in a dish and after he finished it, he'd crawl up on the couch and crash belly up. It was something to see.

I wonder what would happen if you fed a rabbit some Cialis or Viagra. The little f*$##%ers are horny enough already.... :D

Thankfully I don't have any on hand. All three of our rabbits are fixed so their little libidos are less potent.

I notice a general concensus to feed her spicy foods, the problem is, I don't like spicy foods so I don't have any on hand. They also tend to smell stuff thoroughly before eating, so I have to be very sneaky...:D

I plan on trying the hops idea next time I brew, I always buy pellets hops anyway.
 
Most rodents do not like spicy foods. I use a mix of blood meal and cayenne pepper to keep critters away from my RV.
 
Our ferrets are beersnobs. They won't drink generic light beer.

They love black and tans, and of course all of my brews so far :cross:
Our males hog it and will go to very great lengths to get some good beer!

Dog on the other hand has never liked anything alcoholic or the other intoxicant. She's a pretty straight laced hound. Then again she lived in a crack house before we rescued her, so she's probably a veteran cleaned up by now hah!

Our dog loves spicy foods, especially peppered cheese, very spicy pizza, and sausage!! The ferrets haven't really liked much spicy foods. One of our males seems to like em a bit.

Oh, hate to be a party-pooper, but I'm told that hops are poisonous to dogs (just talked about that in another thread, matter o' fact). Not sure about rabbits, but I sure wouldn't try it.

On the other hand, the Pop Rocks idea sounds like a good one.

If that's the case, I'll try them out on the "bad" rabbits first.:D
