I begged and begged my parents for one and they finally gave in. I read up everything I could. When I got my Karat, we found out he had pneumonia. (One of the gazillion reasons one should NOT buy, but rather adopt). After nursing him back to health and tired of seeing him in a dog crate, we decided to try to litter train him. He took to the litter like a pro.

He lived 7 years with us, cage free and spoiled rotten. There’s a funny story about him scaring the insurance guy! Bunnikins are excellent, playful, mischievous, loving pets. But, they are not for the faint of heart! While Karat used his litter box most of the time, he did like to mark his territory with poops. And, we didn’t have a very good vet and he wasn’t neutered, so he was a regular “lawn sprinkler.” He had a fondness for woodworking and carpeting.

I feel bad now for allowing him to eat people food. His favorite food was peanut M&M’s. I didn’t understand the dangers of chocolate for animals, but luckily it didn’t seem to affect him. I’d give anything to have my 24 Karat Gold again.
