50 Memes And Jokes About Bunnies That Show They’re Not As Sweet And Innocent As They Look
Interview With OwnerWhen you think of bunnies, the first traits that probably come to your mind are how cute, fluffy and friendly they are. They are the third most popular pets in the US and the UK, and they’re a great alternative to having a dog or cat. But despite rabbits having one of the greatest PR teams of all time, many of their owners claim that these animals are actually adorable little jerks.
Allow me to introduce you to the Bunnies Are [Jerks] Facebook group. (We’ve slightly altered the group’s name to make it a tad bit more family friendly.) This community exposes the true nature of these precious little balls of fluff: they’re menaces! From chewing wires to ripping apart couches, this list is full of reasons why bunnies are not as innocent as they seem.
Keep reading to also find an interview with the creator of Bunnies Are Jerks, Leona Gear, to hear more about the background of the page and why she decided to put these naughty bunnies on blast. Be sure to upvote your favorite pics of destruction, and let us know in the comments if you’ve ever had a pet rabbit that turned out to be a pint-sized jerk. Then if you’re interested in checking out another Bored Panda article featuring bunnies, you can find one right here. Alright, let’s hop to it!

Dinner Is At 5:30. I Got Home At 5:34
They're punctual little floofs. My sister's and niece's bunnies can get spiteful if they're late too.
Load More Replies...My cats get fed at 6:30am every morning next door at my parents house (I'm disabled so can't get out of bed and feed them hence why they go to my parents next door) and one of mine sleeps on my lap every night. At 6:25am Dom opens his eyes and stretches then runs off next door. 30 minutes later he's back to go back to sleep. I could set my watch by him, even if he's sound asleep he'll wake up and get up right on time!
To learn more about this group dedicated to showcasing the naughtiest bunnies of the world, we reached out to the creator of Bunnies Are Jerks, Leona Gear. She told us that the group, which now has over 156k members, originally started as a joke. “Another group had a post about how sweet and lovely their rabbit was, and I had commented that mine was not,” Leona shared, mentioning that she had referred to her rabbit as a word we won’t be using on Bored Panda...
“Another member responded to me that theirs was also a troublemaker, and with a bit of back and forth, we concluded we needed a group for the people whose bunnies were harassing them,” Leona continued.

I had something similar happen. Powell the bunny got overly enthusiastic grooming me and I lost half an eyebrow.

And when it comes to having bunnies as pets, Leona is a seasoned veteran. “I have had rabbits most of my life, with a break in my teens when I was away at high school, and the first couple of years of university,” she shared. “At present, I have a solo bun, which is not usually recommended, however it works for him. He is the banner of the group and original logo for our merch. His name is Bugsy, and he is 6 years old. He is a rescue, and I got him at 4 months.”
As Leona mentioned, the page has even grown so large that they’ve been able to start selling merch. From baby onesies to tote bags to hoodies, you can find all of the adorable bunny merch right here. The calendars are particularly popular items, Leona tells me.

“We set up the group in November 2019, so over the course of that nearly 3 years, we have seen some stunning examples of what we'd call 'bunstruction',” Leona told Bored Panda. “Some of my favorites have included bunnies making burrows into people's sofas. I actually included one of those photos in our calendar,” she added.
“My own Bugsy is a wall and cabinet chewer, so all the kitchen cabinets have little chew marks,” Leona shared. “And we had to run the internet cable around the roof and then behind a bookcase, so he couldn't get to it. Bunnies also love to chew cables and wires so often we have stories, especially during lockdown, of people getting cut off mid zoom meeting because their little darling ate their headphone cable. I read somewhere that they think wires are roots destroying the integrity of the burrow, so maybe they are just trying to protect us!” Well, that's a nice way of giving bunnies the benefit of the doubt...

Load More Replies...I had a rescued house bunny for awhile until I found him a new home. (Our Afghan hound was a little *too* interested in him for him to stay.) What I want to know is: How are these bunnies are getting onto countertops by themselves? And, more importantly: how are they getting OFF without hurting themselves? I only had to worry about what he could find at floor level, which is bad enough given that they like to nibble on electrical cords.
Exactly! Rabbits hop, not jump. How does a rabbit get on the “highest counter” without human intervention? I’m not being a smart-a**e, I truly don’t understand how that happens.

Load More Replies...We had the opposite problem...our male bunny loved our male cat...the look on the cats face was proof it was NOT reciprocated at all.
Why apologise? Cats are allowed to roam (in the UK), but in consequence they have to take care of themselves.
I had a cat hating rabbit once, Seeing her running after a friends cat that was a huge 7-8 kg cat(a big boy) vs her 1.5 kg overweight netherland dwarf butt. Thank god she was on leash when she met him and another cat or the cats would been toast.
how did the cats react? they probably didnt know how to handle this bouncy floof ball 😅
Load More Replies...That was my first thought. I wouldn't mess with that bunny.
Load More Replies...Not. Do you think their cat will rat on your bunny? Will not happen, not cat can live with itself it it had its but kicked by a rabbit. But, be sure, their cat is nearby plotting revenge.
But despite all of the naughty behavior, Leona loves her little devils. “Bunnies are amazing pets,” she shared. “However, they are unfortunately very misunderstood. They need a huge amount of space and interaction. A very particular diet consisting of mostly hay and then high quality pellets and veggies to supplement. Too often we still see rabbits being kept in inadequate housing and eating bunny muesli which is just not good for them. It's like letting your child have a happy meal for every meal.”

I must admit I didnt know roaming bunnies was a thing. Are they house trained? Dont they risk eating cables and cause severe danger to themselves and the house?
I have a house bunny. He is fully litterbox trained and we have “bunny proofed” our house to make sure he cannot get hurt.
Load More Replies...Our bunnies are all free roaming but you have to secure certain things like cables or precious furniture. Lol But then again, cats and dogs go for certain things as well but no one would put them in a crate or cage. Just saying. Securing the house is easy and free roamers develop big personalities 😊
That seems like a pet that should have an enclosed space. Like instead of a catio a bunny-io. Who wants to deal with all that work and expense? Crazy
This [Jerk] Sleeps Like A Middle Aged Man Who Barely Made It To The Bed After Too Many Beers, Love Her Though
That is one very trusting, content, bunny that's secure and happy in its home to reach that depth of relaxation in the middle of the open while sleeping. I think that says a lot about its owners.
This pic is hysterical. I've never seen a bunny that relaxed before! 😄 And the caption is perfect.
Aww she looks so cozy 😍 wish I could get as comfortable as her when I lay down
“They are also expensive in vet care,” Leona noted. “They are not rodents but lagomorphs and require an exotic vet to give proper care. Rabbits are very clever, very determined and will not take a telling. You can say no until you are blue in the face, but once you turn away they will go right back to whatever they shouldn't be doing. Before getting a bunny, people should look into diet, housing and vet care. When a rabbit becomes unwell, they hide it because they are prey animals, so often the first sign of illness is them on death's door. When that happens, you need to get to a vet very quickly.”

Load More Replies...And although it’s fun and humorous, this group is a great way to help people know what they’re getting themselves into before they adopt a bunny into their family. “I happen to know that some of the group's antics have put people off,” Leona noted. “Not exactly because of how naughty they were, but more because people hadn't realized how much personality and sass comes out of those tiny fluffy bunnies.”

Leona also shared that despite all of the sass, rabbits are still capable of being sweet. “Bunnies are not quite as tuned into their people as cats and dogs, but in 2017 & 18, I had to have a very strenuous treatment for MS. The recovery afterwards was slow, and Bugsy, bless his soul, basically spent 2 months lying beside me in bed,” Leona noted. “And he didn't even poop on it or eat my bedding. Also he gives kisses on command, which is very sweet and cute.”

“Bunnies are great pets. They are funny and cute and mischievous. However, they will get into everything. Bunny proofing is essential for everyone's safety,” Leona says. As you can see from the photos on this list, bunnies have no problem being naughty. But if you think of your pet like a child, that you have to keep a close eye on so they don’t go making messes all the time, being the parent of a bunny can be very fulfilling.
“Don’t Put Him In A Cage At Night! Free-Run-Buns Are The Best”. Yeah, Head-Sitting At 02.30 AM… Didn’t Really Want To Sleep Anyway, Skipper
What I remember from my free running bunny when I was a child is that they on occasion will leaves a trail of droppings. Those dropping resemble a certain Dutch candy, konijnen keutels, or Bunny Droppings, a kind of licorice. Not a good combination with young children...

I’m firmly convinced that bunnies do pick up on cat behaviours when they hang around each other, and vice versa.
Load More Replies...I know this list may seem like it doesn't paint bunnies in the best light, but we've all been frustrated with our pets before, right? A puppy will pee on the carpet or chew up a new pair of shoes, and your cat might knock a picture frame off the mantle and shatter it. But that doesn't mean we love them any less! We want our fur babies to have some personality, so if that means being sweet one moment and ripping a pillow apart the next moment, that's a price we have to be willing to pay.

I once rescued a sweet little bunny, and took him with me when visiting. He behaved like a well trained dog, but at the last place they grew plants, that were poisinous to bunnys.

Took one of the bonded pair to the vet and their partner rejected them when we got him home... They say they're better in pairs but we managed to get rabbits who hate other bunnies lol. We now have the un-bonded pair (we lost the girl this year) and they have their own hutches for safety (built by my partner, the commercial ones are too small even for short periods) and get run around time separately. They get on better with the dog than with each other. They're definitely not childrens pets lol
Are they desexed? Definitely some won't bond but it needs to be done in a certain way. Neutral territory at first.
Load More Replies...Bunnies are amazing pets- smart, sassy, intelligent. Definitely not the dumb kids toy people are usually led to believe. They need to be desexed not only for hormones but it helps with litter training, bonding, health and temperament. And they need bunny savvy vets- most normal vets don't get much training in ' exotics '.
Excellent point I forgot to mention desexing. Males will pee on everything when they're in rut. Females can also become aggressive and even bite when left intact. And yes it can be a challenge to find a vet trained in bunny health. I had to drive 45 min to get to mine but they were worth it. My Freddie lived 10 years before his kidneys failed. He was such a good boy always sweet and well behaved.

My aunt and uncle assumed we were not returning. My mother never forgave them.
Oh my word, that is awful. People raised on farms do have very different views on pets.

Load More Replies...I never realized people having bunnies running around their house was a thing????
Bunnies need a lot of space to run, 24/7, perhaps an enclosure outside or inside. They are no pets for cages! Ours had their cage just for toilet purpose. And they need a partner, otherwise they will get ill or misbehave or die early. They are really demanding pets. Enjoy your bunnies!
Load More Replies...Bunnies are great but you either need to supervise them or bunny proof your house which as we see is not easy. You also need to make sure you have access to a vet that will take care of your bunny not all vets do. Bunnies teeth grow like our finger nails and need routine trimming. Unless you're experienced with this it's best to have a vet do it. If you're ready to do these things then get you a bunny they're amazing pets! They are smart and they can even learn tricks! They're also little cuddle bugs who would love to lay with you while you binge Netflix! I'd recommend 10/10. :)

Bunnies need a lot of space to run, 24/7, perhaps an enclosure outside or inside. They are no pets for cages! Ours had their cage just for toilet purpose. And they need a partner, otherwise they will get ill or misbehave or die early. They are really demanding pets. Enjoy your bunnies!

You also need to make sure you have access to a vet that will take care of your bunny not all vets do. Bunnies teeth grow like our finger nails and need routine trimming. Unless you're experienced with this it's best to have a vet do it. If you're ready to do these things then get you a bunny they're amazing pets! They are smart and they can even learn tricks! They're also little cuddle bugs who would love to lay with you while you binge Netflix! I'd recommend 10/10. :)
