Hundreds of well-bred rabbits took the opportunity to make new acquaintances and reproduce when a roof collapsed at Sweden's premier rabbit show in Nyköping in February.
The Local reported at the time that the Nyköping exhibition, 100 kilometres south of Stockholm, had attracted 1,648 rabbits and their owners to the vast indoor tennis complex.
When the roof collapsed in the wake of a spate of heavy snowfalls, many of the prize pets found their cages had opened and they were at liberty to roam as they pleased amid the debris.
Workers tasked with clearing the fallen roof soon found that the quality bunnies had not lain idle.
"They made new friends and they became a bit aroused by the incident. The builders told me it was a veritable circus in there," one rabbit breeder told public broadcaster SVT's local Sörmland affiliate.
With rabbits of all stripes and colours trapped in the wreckage the pairing frenzy has thrown up all manner of new combinations, as Dwarf Hotots nuzzled up to British Giants and Lionheads mounted Himalayans.
When the dust had settled and relieved owners returned home with their rescued rabbits, some 50 to 70 breeders found they were the beneficiaries of surprise litters, local newspaper Södermanlands Nyheter reports
When the roof collapsed in the wake of a spate of heavy snowfalls
I wonder when this happened. A they are still having this kind of snow fall in late April.
Tastes a lot like chicken...
Jimmy Carter’s nightmare.
Now that’s what I call making lemonade out of the lemons life hands you...
They’re rabbits, what do you expect?
I just know humble was there with his coffee-feed of doom for these rabbits.
A rabbit show? I’ve never heard of such a thing. I guess rabbits are big in sweden. Are these pets or livestock? Do they have champion rabbits?
Don’t read this headline.
“You cannot be serious!”
*heh heh heh*
I’m series as a hart attack! And you know it!!!
That wouldn’t happen to be one of the coffee zombie bunnies.. would it?
That said, the rabbits predictably hd this line of thought after the roof collapse:
“Bunny?”
“Bunny.”
“Bunny!”
“Bunny?”
“You bunny?”
“Very bunny!”
“Oh noes, bunny!”
“Hey, I’m bunny. You bunny?”
“Bunny.”
*rabbit disco music*
“Bunnnnnnnny...”
The first and last time I had rabbit I wasn’t very impressed. Meat was too dry. Either it was a bad rabbit or the cook blew it.
I wonder what bunny porn music sounds like;)
Zombonny, out to meet tha ladeeez.
What was that punchline from “Jurassic Park”?
Something like “Nature will find a way”.
“Make new acquaintances”.Funny stuff!
