Wanting a Rabbit

[iwannabunny]

Hello everyone!!  Umm, first of all, Im sorry if this doesn’t go here. Anyway,  I REALLY want a rabbit!!   You guys are experienced so can you help me?? If you can, thanks.  I have read the whole “bunny info” section along with the aspca, hsus, and some of the hrs pages.  I understand what is involved with getting a rabbit and I am prepared to sulfill all of its needs.  But, I have a couple of road-blocks in the way. 

First Mission: COnvince the parents.  I am fairly sure I will be able to do this.  THe only reason I can’t have one is because my mom doesn’t want another pet, but this pet will be my full responsibility.  I already take care of 2 hermit crabs, 3 fish, my dog, and the other two dogs . Along with 4 previous birds( I raised a baby sparrow by myself and had 3 parrakeets).  Which brings us to the next delimma.

Second mission: COnvincing the dog.  THis one is gonna be the hardest.  I have a beagle.  As many of you know I am sure, Beagles were bred to hunt rabbits, she excels at this.  She has actually caught a baby rabbit () and killed it before I could get there() along with a couple squirrles, a bird, and field mice.  If the rabbit or dog are going to be harmed I will not get one.My dog is very terrotorial over cats and other dogs but I don’t think the rabbit will bother her(the birds didn’t), I am just afraid she’ll eat it or it will get a heart attack. 

So those are the challenges I am facing although I am sure I can over come #1 and hopefully #2 as well.  If I can jump the hurdles, I plan to care for my rabbit very well.  I want to get one from a rescue organization and preferably female.  She will stay in my room in a cage that is atleast a 36″ by 30″ and tall enogh for the rabbit to stand up.  THe dog also sleeps in my room.  I am aware that rabbits do not like to be held or cuddled although I am looking for one that will be content to be with me.  A dutch rabbit seems most likely as the nearest rescue organization has 2 female dutches.  Do I sound ready for a rabbit?  It will problably be in a few months, around april.  I also have a couple of questions.

What type of food do you suggest?  I am planning on getting the same kind of food the rabbit already eats along with Oxbow Bunny Bsics/T(unless you suggest something else) and transitioning over to that.

What type of littler do you suggest?  I was going to get fresh world bedding.

Which cage do you suggest?  It can’t be too expensive but still good and preferably 2 levels

Bowls or sippers and hay weel/rack or basket?  For food/water

What are some good toys?

What about bedding?  Should I jsut go with soft hay?

Anything else?

 

Thank you,

iwannabunny

oh and I shop mainly at petsmart but sometimes petco(rarely)

[Monkeybun]

I’d be very very hesitant with that dog… if it likes to hunt rabbits, you may want to hold off until you’re old enough to move and get your own place to have a bunny. Would hate to see something happen to the poor thing

[wendyzski]

Sounds like you have abeagle with a very high prey drive and that would be a VERY dangerous environment to bring a rabbit into.  Sorry, but I think you should wait until you have a place of your own where the bun can feel safe and secure.  Meanwhile, maybe you can get you rbunny fix by volunteering at a shelter?

[KytKattin]

The dog worries me. A lot. I don’t know if a rabbit would be the right pet for you with a dog like that. Maybe look into some serious training for the dog before you consider a rabbit? Rabbits can become very stressed if a dog is always trying to get at it, even if the rabbit is perfectly safe in a cage. That is also another issue; store bought cages probably won’t stand up to a dog, and neither will most homemade ones. I also worry that the rabbit, even if it is safe, won’t feel comfortable enough to do normal rabbit things, like lounging with it’s feet kicked out. Plus, then you will have to constantly shuffle between having the dog in your room, or the rabbit out, and what happens on that day that someone opens the door when your rabbit is out and the dog gets in? If your rabbit is going to be spending most of her time in her cage, she will need a huge cage to accommodate for that. I worry that neither your dog, nor the rabbit will be happy.

It is great that you want to rescue, and you seem to have done a fairly good amount of research! I don’t want to discourage you from getting a rabbit, though I do wonder if this might not be the right time for it. Maybe work with your local rescue for a while? Go in, clean the cages, spend time with the rabbits that don’t get much attention. And while you are learning more about rabbits, ask your parents if you can take your dog to a trainer (a good one, Petsmart/Petco probably aren’t going to be able to help you much). Go over all the basic commands, plus maybe find a ‘job’ for you dog other than killing small animals. If she has another job, such as agility, or fly ball (there are lots of dog sports!) she will not only be more behaved, but respectful of you, and your choice to bring in another animal.

[BinkyBunny]

First, I want to commend you on doing your research first. Many times people just get a rabbit without thinking about all the things you have. You’ve done a good job. With that said, it sounds like what you’ve discovered is something that may not be suitable for a rabbit. It’s good to figure that out now. Especially since the dog is also in your room.

Rabbits need at LEAST 3 hours of daily exercise (and even more if they are stuck in a cage). And even if you let him free roam in your room for exercise, it only takes ONE time for a door to be left open accidentally by you or another family member to have disaster happen. Rabbits can also die from shock if the dog just tries to get at him through the cage (barks at him and basically terrifies your rabbit) — again it could just take one time where the door is left open.

The other thing is, rabbits can live to be over 10 years. I don’t know how old you are (please don’t post your age if you are under 18) but let’s just say you are 13 (minimum age required to post here). That means you’d still have him in your early 20’s. And I don’t know what your plans are for the future, but as high school progresses, and then college, other things really can take a front seat in your life. And though yes this would be your bunny, your parents still have to pay for the “financial” aspect of things….For example: If your bunny got sick, it’s very expensive to take your bunny to the vet for an illness. It can be several hundred dollars (ESPECIALLY if it’s an emergency) And you can ask any of us here, MOST of us have had to take our bunny to the vet at least once in their lifetime for more than just a check-up.

We have had sad situations here where a parent has agreed to get their child a rabbit, and then later the parents won’t pay for vet care because it is REALLY expensive. This isn’t fair to the animal at all.

Now,even if your parents would agree to pay for everything (check out the cost page) and/or at least make sure that all vet care would be taken care of, you still have the main issue with your dog, as well as with your future being yet still so up in the air (just due to your age).

IF you did not have this dog danger, and your parents were fully on board to make this a FAMILY pet and take on at least  the expensive vet costs then I’d say try and convince them, but at this point, I would be disappointed if they did say yes and didn’t think it fully through.

I’m sorry, I know that’s not what you wanted to hear. Sometimes doing a thorough job researching means you will find “other” answers than what you want, but that just means you did a good job exploring the good AND the bad.

I think Wendy’s idea of volunteering at a shelter is a great idea, and then once you are out on your own, by then, you’ll know even more and will be fully prepared to have a house bunny in your very own place.

[Karla]

I have to agree with the others – sorry. Your dog does not sound like it will handle a bunny in the house very well. It is a dog with a high prey drive, and although it should be trained not to react to this instinct without permission, it sounds like it has failed so far. Hunting dogs should never kill preys…that actually makes them bad hunting dogs. So you are in for a lot of training with that dog, it sounds like, if you would add a bunny to the household.

And I am sure you would be devastated if something happened to your bunny.

You already have lots of pets (lucky ýou): 2 hermit crabs, 3 fish, your dog, and two other dogs in the household. It sounds like you have your hands full already. I’d say, focus on the other animals, perhaps especially your dog that you can spend time on training. And then later on in life, you can add a bunny when you know that you have the time and there is no chance it will be accidently killed if someone forgets to close the door.

I hope you don’t take it the hard way.

[BinkyBunny]

I really like Karla’s idea of spend more time on your dog. You can even try clicker-training to teach him some new tricks and do more things together. That will also help continue to build a great bond with her.

[iwannabunny]

Thank you all for your very helpful advise.  Just some thngs  I forgot to add-

the bunny will be out in the afternoon and evening while Lexi(beagle) is out playing with the two outdoor dogs.  Lexi aslo know simplee comands such as sit, drop, stay/come, drop it and leave it along with a few tricks.  She also gets walked everyday in the warm weather.  I am planning on letting the rabbit go for walks occasinally too(in a harness w/ leash)-seperatly though lol!!  I am not really worried about the rabbit’s security while she is out, mainly how she would feel while she is in her cage.  Also, Lexi only goes after things when there running across the yard(I don’t hunt with her or anything), one of my birds got out once and it was sitting on it’s cage while lexi was about a foot away just sniffing it.  Also, what is coinsidered adult?  Like 3-4?  If this trns out not to be the right situation for eighter rabbit or dog, tehn I will wait.

 

thank you,

iwannabunny

Hey! Welll I think it’s great that youre doing your research. I understand how much you want a bunny, but everyone has had really good input. And I hate to say it, but I have to agree with them. I know you have the best of intentions for a bunny, but still… even the presence of a dog or a dog barking in the other room could scare a bunny so much that it has a heart attack It’s great that you have a plan for walking/out time, but all it takes is one open door and an escaped bunny/dog for you to have a major issue on your hands. You said Lexi (cute name btw!) only goes after running animals… ok so what happens if the bedroom door gets left open a crack… bunnies are mischievous and if there’s anywhere they can even remotely get to they WILL explore it… your bunny finds a whole new space for binkies and starts doing a bunny 500 and catches the attention of Lexi?

No matter how vigilant you are about closing doors, keeping the dog out, etc, accidents DO happen. We’re all just looking out for the best interest of the bunny AND you. No one wants you to have to deal with a tragedy caused by an accidentally opened door…

As far as walking a bunny outside…. I’d be very cautious with harnesses and leashes. A bunny can break it’s back if it panics and pulls on the leash. Not many bunnies are ever comfortable on a leash. If you want to do outside time, get an ex-pen and set it up in a safe place and always always always SUPERVISE while she’s catchin’ some rays Honestly though, there are too many dangers outside (pesticides on the grass/plants, stray cats, dogs, hawks…) so I just keep Leroy inside.

‘Adult’ is considered about 1 year, I believe.

I know it’s not what you want to hear, but I would recommend just waiting. There will ALWAYS be homeless bunnies in the shelter. I know you probably have your heart set on one in the shelter right now, but just know that when the time comes, you’ll find the perfect bunny. I decided I wanted a bunny a couple years ago, but had to wait until I was ready for one (ie: own apartment, and financially stable), I looked for the “right” bunny for nearly 8 months before I found Leroy and I couldn’t be happier! In those 8 months, there actually were two bunnies I wanted to get but they were adopted before I was ready to get one. I was kinda bummed, but Leroy is the BEST bunny I could have ever asked for and he and I have bonded SO well.

If you want to spend time with bunnies, volunteering at the shelter or with the local HRS is a GREAT option. That way you can learn about proper bunny care and make their lives better! Talk with the shelter once you start volunteering there, they might even let you do some clicker training and playing with the bunnies to make them more ‘adoptable’.

[iwannabunny]

thank you

[MirBear]

sorry-but i highly agree with the others.
ive had a bun ALMOST die from a heart attack, in my arms (the scare was from a high prey drive beagle- dauchund mix) it wasnt even my bunny and i felt so bad, i can only imagine how you would feel if that happend to you if you had a bunny. – i know i would have been completely devistated if that had of been one of my furbabies.

-sorry i know thats not the answer you were hoping to hear

[Barbie]

Btw…. even with out a bunny, you’re more than welcome to stick around here and hang out with us!

[Moonlight_Wolf]

If you do decide to get a bunny it is possible to have a rabbit hunting dog and a rabbit in the same house if you take some precautions:

1. I assume your room is upstairs, well if possible I would just not allow your dog upstairs anymore, I know you like your dog sleeping with you but if you want a bunny I would not even consider having them in the same room together.
2. Also I would recommend putting a gate or some kind of barrier in the doorway of your room, so just in case your dog does escape from downstairs, she will not be able to attack or freak out your rabbits too much.
3. Get an x-pen so your bunny can run in your room along with her cage, this gives her more room so she does not get too bored when you are at school.

These are all things I have done for my bunnies, because I too have a critter hunting dog, a cairn terrier to be specific, if he even sees the bunnies (when we are taking them in a carrier to the vet) he goes berserk! I used to sleep with him and my other dog (who is a poodle mix, and loves my rabbits- not in the hunting way) but alas now he is confined to the downstairs. Although he was originally only allowed in the kitchen and my room because he is very bad about peeing on the carpet – both my dogs are confined to the kitchen during the day.

Once or twice my dog has escaped, but since I have a gate at the doorway of my bedroom, he just barked and (at the time I only had Fern, my Holland lop) Fern was not phased. I of coarse sprinted upstairs because I thought Fern would be freaking out, but she was sitting fairly close to the gate, in one of her boxes, looking totally unphased.

I’m sorry but I think that these are things you must do if you want a bunny, at least keep your dog out of your room if you get a bunny.

[Kokaneeandkahlua]

I have to agree-with that kind of dog with that kind of history-it’s going to be REALLY hard to guarantee the rabbits safety and SANITY which you must consider.

The first step-research reserach reserach (like your doing) so keep reading this site including the information sections. Also rabbit.org is a wonderful site to learn on.

Clicker training as Binkybunny suggested-do you know how? You will want to start conditioning your beagle to live with a prey animal. Do you know the basics of clicker training? If you don’t we can give you links.
If you do-start off getting a stuffed rabbit. Click and treat the beagle for not mouthing the toy. Don’t let her destroy it. You can allow her to interact with it gently and lay with it etc. But no mouth. Click treat for good behavior. Add a command now ‘no mouth’ and ‘gentle’. That should take a few weeks and that would be the first step with this dog

[iwannabunny]

Thank you Kokaneeandkahlua!! Yes, I do clicker training with her sometimes. Tonight we worked on “leave it” where I threw a treat(beagles LOVE food, esp. her!) and she lignored it. We are going to continue doing this even if a rabbit isn’t in my near future. I am also working on getting her to listen to me more and respect me as alpha. If I am able to get a bunny(which I am starting to doubt at this point) I will be sure to get a baby gate for my doorway and an x-pen to go around the cage but I cannot keep my dog out of my room, she was here first therefor she has to be okay with something comeing into HER territory and nothing can change in a negative way for her. Do you think it would be okay to intreduce the two at the shelter (once I hav edone the stuffed rabbit training as you suggested)? If they reacted badly to each other, I wouldn’t want to go through whith it but I don’t want to bring the rabby home, along with everything I need and have it have a heart attack upon seeing the dog.

Just had to add these

[Karla]

Cute dog I know exactly how you feel about getting that bunny, though I still think you should wait a bit.
What will you do once you move out of your parents’ house? Are you sure you can take both dog and perhaps a bunny with you? It isn’t always easy to get a place where you can have pets, and on top of this is everything else that takes time – college/university, friends, parties, holidays et.c.

I really would recommend that you wait a while. Especially because you already have a dog to spend a lot of time with.

But regardless of what you decide to do, then it is a really good idea to teach your dogs lots of tricks. Since she is a dog with a strong hunting instinct which is not used, she really needs to be mentally stimulated in lots of different ways. If she feels mentally stimulated, her need for killing should lessen. Eg. don’t give her food in a bowl, but throw it on the lawn or in a room, so she can use her great nose. Hide treats which she needs to find and google other ways to activate her mentally. Clicker training is also a really good thing. When you are out on walks, drop something of yours which she needs to find on her way home. Teach her the signal “search”, so she knows that the game is on. The more tricks you actually teach her, the more she will look up to you and be eager to please you and follow your commands because she associates you with fun and new clever stuff to learn.

Not sure if you can bring a dog to a shelter…let’s say your dog doesn’t react very positively to the sight of the bunnies in their cage and jumps at the cages, and perhaps two of the bunnies die of a shock. I’m not sure it would be such a good deal for the shelter. But maybe you can find a bunny at a shelter that is already used to dogs?

[iwannabunny]

Thanks everyone   I think mom is starting to give in a little (*fingers crossed*) and Lexi is doing very well in training.  I am throwing treats all over the place and telling her “leave-it”(gonna come in handy if a bunny comes home) and she is just watching me.  If I get a bunny it’ll be a couple weeks after Easter so unfortuanatly I am sure there will be a few to choose from(only 2 right now).  But just so you know, I understand your concern and am taking your advise very seriously–reserarching, preparing lexi, thinking about the future. And if a bunny is right for me right now, God will make a way and if I am not supposed to get a rabbit at this point in my life, then He won’t.  To the dog situation,  I don’t think she will do more than just sniff it and move on while it is in it’s cage and I will let the bun out into an x-pen surrounding it’s cage during the day, allowing free roam of my room for 4+ hours while I cann keep in eye on her.

thanks,

iwannabunny

[RabbitPam]

Hi, iwannabunny,
I’m very glad you have come to us for advice on this. But if you have come for support in your effort to get a bunny, I’m afraid that just won’t happen here.
You have explained your situation really well, and all the facts you’ve laid out have led me to a very firm piece of advice:
Do NOT get a rabbit.
That’s not what you want to hear, I know, and as an animal lover it’s hard to say no to another. But you have a good sized group of pets already, and sometimes it’s the new or novel pet that touches our urge to get one, leaving the others to be taken for granted, as they become familiar. You have a terrific opportunity to study animal behavior and interaction, and one of the things you have already seen is that an animal is true to its nature and does not adapt its behavior to our desires after a point. A beagle is bred genetically to hunt prey, and yours has proven to be quite good at that.

My goal here on BB is to provide advice that will benefit the well being of a house rabbit and its owner. I cannot in good conscience say anything other than do not bring a bunny into your current home. I am saying this to protect a new bunny from (at best) a home that will be frightening round the clock with predator dog presence, barking, smells, and opportunities. At worst, it’s death by attack or fear.

Sometimes we need something to look forward to in life, and an independent home when you are old enough to leave your parents, where you choose not to have a predator dog and can have a bunny to devote your care and time to is something to look forward to as a gift to yourself in your future. It may be a graduation present once you are out of college, or high school if you are not going to college but leaving home to be on your own. Then you can set up your environment your own way, having done all this good research.

Thanks for asking us. I am sorry if i sound harsh, but I do feel strongly about this. And absolutely you are welcome to be a member of our bunny-loving community even if you don’t have a bunny. I was!

[Carrot Lane Bunny]

I’m sorry but I’m going to have to go with Rabbit Pam on this one because if you get a rabbit it might be in danger.
sorry

[KatnipCrzy]

I have a family member that is a responsible 17 year old that loves animals and she wanted a house bunny and asked me about them- and I honestly advised her NOT to get one- she will be going to college soon and moving away to go to a major university, and her parents have barely tolerated some medical issues with one of their cats urinating on the floor when he had an infection.  And bunnies in my opinion are higher maintainence than cats.  Granted they are viewed as small animals/caged animals and some apartments might allow those and not allow cats- but plain and simple to me they are more work, littertraining is more difficult, and they can be more destructive with chewing- cords, baseboards, carpet, etc.  They are messier in the aspect of hay- most people end up getting hay on the carpet and not in just the cage.

So I love my house bunnies, would not part with them for the world, but they are more work.  Mine get fed 3 times a day- am pellets, afternoon greens and pm pellets.  They get a small amount of pellets- so those are not so costly- but at certain times of the year greens get a little pricey.  Hay is free fed.  And medical care is generally more expensive for an exotic pet- when you can even find a vet that will see a rabbit- and you need a vet that knows about rabbits in addition to the fact that they will do an exam on one.

[BinkyBunny]

I know that some dogs and rabbits can live happily together but it all depends on the dog and your dog really has shown a strong hunt instinct and has already killed a wild bunny, so this is something that is very concerning.

Before BinkyBunny, I was a forum leader for years on the iVillage Rabbit Board. One rabbit owner also had a dog that had strong hunting instinct and though she could keep him in check while she was there supervising, she never trusted her dog unsupervised, so she kept her bunny upstairs in a pen behind a closed door. Three years this worked out fine until ONE day she accidentally left the door open. I won’t go into details but her bunny did not live. The thing about being human is we just make mistakes. That is the way it is.

You also said that your dog will have to be in your room – she will come first because she has been there first. So that does pose a problem.

I know you said your mom may be weakening, but have you discussed the real costs (show her the cost page under Bunny Info) and will the emergencies be paid for?

What if you stay overnight at a friends house or go on an outing. Will she be willing to take care of your bunny, and make sure all family members are very careful about the dog/rabbit situation? Also, what about the future, will she be willing to take care of the rabbit if you go off to college?

Have you discussed these things with your mom? Does she know how long rabbits can actually live? (that you may be in college when the bunny is still around) I know some of the the “negative” things you may want to downplay or not share if you think that would hinder your chances of her saying yes, but I can’t tell you how many times we have dealt with parents that have said yes, and then they are just blindsided with all of the care that goes into it. She is also welcome to come here and ask questions.

The worst thing you can do is not tell your mom the many challenges even if you think that once you get a rabbit, the negative stuff will just have to be figured out later, but IF that is what happens, I can tell you that that is why so many bunnies are in shelters right now — families not being fully prepared for what having a rabbit means, and after the cuteness wears off, and what’s required time and $$$ wise, a rabbit can end up being neglected and stuck in a cage most of the time or turned into a shelter.

It always worries me when a parents gets their “child” a pet or says yes to their “child’s” pet, like a rabbit, because it makes me concerned that they may not really know how much is actually involved in having a rabbit.

I would suggest that you have your mother read up on everything — check rabbit.org and this site, and understand the extreme caution between your dog and a bunny. If she is fully aware of all of the challenges and responsibility (and takes it on herself too) and then says yes, then there would be less concern because at the very least then she would have an active part in your rabbits care and safety too.

Whatever you do, do not just give her the good and hope the bad will work itself out.

Keep us updated.

[RabbitPam]

BB makes a good point. I think it only fair to your family to allow your mother (ask her) to read this post in its entirety, along with the Bunny Info. that is provided on the site.

You will always find someone to agree with you about anything on the internet, if you search enough places and ask enough people. But it always goes back to using your best judgement and acting in the best interest of you, your family, and all of the animals involved.

[Karla]

I agree with BB. Are you 100 % sure you can and will take the bunny with you once you move out of the house? ‘Cause if not, then the bunny is actually your mum’s responsibility, and she is the one who should be wanting a bunny.

[MirBear]

also another thing that i would like to piont out is, depending on how old you are you might not have a job and it is HIGHLY recomended that you spay/ neuter your bunnies. most parents dont belive in this and that may force you to have to pay for it your self. if there is a vet in your area that see’s exotics it would probably be very expensive (males are about $200 and females $400) from my reaserch talking with different city vets, and if you can find a vet thats cheaper its probably an hour or so away (into the country if you live in the city) and you will have to find transportation. now ij not sure what your parents are like and if they would want to pay to get a bunny fixed but i know myself still being fairly young its difficult to come up with the money to fix a bunny.

[iwannabunny]

Thanks for your replies everyone. After reading all your answers and the bunny info on here along with man other websites, I think it’s best if I hold off. After all, I’d rather the bunny sit in a shelter a little longer and get a really good home rather than me adopt it sooner and it not get to enjoy being a bunny cause it always has to watch it’s back for a dog. Thanks again everyone. But as soon as I have my own place(dog’ll be gone by then :'(), I’m adopting a pair/trio to be just by themselves

[Karla]

Good for you! I think you have made the right decision, and now you can enjoy your cute dog full-time.

And once you have your own place and no hunting dog, you can fill your place with bunnies. But you can always stick around here and read up on bunnies.

[Barbie]

I think you made a great decision! I know it’s hard to wait, but good for you! You’re going to enjoy the bunnies even more for waiting! And yes, you’re more than welcome to hang out here with us.

[RabbitPam]

Thank you so much for letting us know your decision.
I know how hard it was for you, and it is a great plan to look forward to in your future.
You’ll have many happy years with your cute dog, and then many happy years with new bunnies.

[iwannabunny]

thanks guys. I feel good about my decision and it’ll give me something to look forward too . And I can still stick around?

[Monkeybun]

Of course you can stick around! You can satisfy some of your bunny urges lookign at all the pics here. All bunny lovers are welcome!

[iwannabunny]

[Barbie]

Yes absolutely stick around! You can enjoy all the pictures and stories and just because you don’t currently have a rabbit doesn’t mean you can’t contribute to rabbit care discussions too – I would say that most of the info we tell people about rabbit care is available on this website or on the HRS website, and even as a rabbit owner, a lot of times I go look something up before posting a reply, so you can help out in that way too if you want!

[BinkyBunny]

That is great iwannabunny! Good for you. Very responsible and I have no doubt that if and when you do decide to have a bunny in your adult future, you will make a wonderful bunny slave! And, in the meantime, if you need to get a bunny fix without taking on the risk and responsibility, you can volunteer at an animal shelter or rabbit rescue.

And of course you can stick around, you can tell us about your other animals, dogs etc, in the lounge as the lounge can be about anything.

[Kokaneeandkahlua]

Thanks for your replies everyone. After reading all your answers and the bunny info on here along with man other websites, I think it’s best if I hold off.

Thanks again everyone. But as soon as I have my own place(dog’ll be gone by then :'(), I’m adopting a pair/trio to be just by themselves

Knowing you on both this forum and df I think that’s a great decision Your heart is TOTALLY in the right place, and reading your post I know you will know when it’s time I wanted one from when I was eight and did not get one until I was 24 BUT I know now that I would have messed everything up at that age as I was not set up to spend the money myself and do things my way. WAiting until I was old enough and on my own made it so special and I was able to do it right I know you’ll do it right when you do it ANd feel free to hang out here with us!! No bunnies necessary for membership

[iwannabunny]

Thanks kandk . Your opinion means alot to me

[iwannabunny]

Oh and I might foster some kittens from the shelter *fingers crossed*
