New rabbit craze sweeps the internet



As the pet industry prepares for Rabbit Awareness Week, which starts on Saturday, a new craze is sweeping the internet.

Rabbit owners around the world are posting images of their 'naughty' pet rabbits, and now website www.buzzfeed.com has published a collection on a special 'Hot New Bunny Alert' page.

The Buzzfeed page was inspired by dogshaming.com, which is full of dogs being named and shamed for bad behaviour.

This one is crammed with pictures of mischievous rabbits along with signs explaining why they're in the naughty corner.

The gallery includes everything from a boisterous bunny that enjoys chewing through expensive computer cable to a floppy friend who loves playing with toilet paper.

For the full collection of pictures on the Buzzfeed site click here.

Otherwise, here's our rogues' gallery...
