Modular homes. Some of these are very much 'houses'.
I support you 100% on your opinion.
My dog is a protection dog. She no doubt would have ate that little ankle biter. (I do have to let my neighbors know that she is for my daughter's and my safety and protection). It just so happens that she's usually VERY good with smaller animals, until they make me cry out or bite me.
Sorry you have to deal with that!!

I am sorry you are going through all of this and hope the little one is feeling better soon!

I lived with an absolute nut job of a mini dauchsund..... Nightmare of an unstable little beast. I too am not a fan of little dogs but not all are bad. It's just a personal preference. I will never own a mini dauchshund tho.

Well I have caught the crud my husband and ssooo many friends and family have.. praying my kids don't get it.
Good news is the co-worker is wanting to rid of a rabbit he acquired. I first found out they were keeping it for his nephew. I warned against it as hes the same age as my oldest (3) also explained about rabbit hormones and territorial..2weeks later they told us they want it gone bc the boy got bit when he was "pestering" it. I told them I'd gladly take it.
Next night I find an ad online for woman selling 2proven (supposedly pedigree) NZ couple with all cages and supplies. Great price, we just have to drive 2hrs into GA...I talked with her and they eat same diet as my current rabbits and she said she's only selling bc both her and husband have back issues and looking into rough futures that rabbits wouldn't fit into. We pick them up Saturday..It's a killer deal considering cage size and already proven a good breeding pair.they are gorgeous too. Solid black female and solid white male. They definitely look older than mine as the female has a dewlap thing but they look the same size as mine..I'll know for sure when we get them and weigh them.

Sounds like some great Christmas presents presented themselves

Yep! I could easily see these rabbits turning into being like my love of yarn. So much loveliness not enough space or money for it. Lol

Loving how much my rabbits response happily at the door for their fresh grasses and weeds..Much more eager than the pellets. I know the ones I feed them are OK for ppl to eat also and im starting to wonder what all the fuss is about lol. I guess I'll look up how some are cooked and how they taste before I try them. Who knows I may like them ><

Congrats on all the bunny business!! They creep into your heart and snuggle into your soul... you have a 3year old?? I do too!! She has been a really good 'help' in all of this. And her (supervised) playing with them has a lot to do with the socializing and handling them, making them amazing pets.

Haha yep my husband says I'm obsessed with them already. And yes I do have a three year old and an 8mo old. So far I haven't let J help bc they were still trying to get used to me. But now that my buck finally figured out how to mate he has sprayed me a lil bit less (not enough IMO) he atleast comes over with the other two wanting petting now. I think I won them over with the weeds. For rabbits that weren't messed with alot before I got them I'm hoping they will trust me enough to let me check kits early. I want J's help with the babies bc atleast with them I don't have to worry bout past learned behavior

Went to pick the rabbits yesterday and the male was sooo friendly! He loved to cuddle and I held him petting til my husband said we needed to head back out. They had named them faith & warrior. The female stomped at me so I haven't really tried messing with her. But they both need their nails trimmed so I'm probably gonna try that tomorrow after she's had more time to settle. Faith has minimum goldish copper flecking on her lower hindquarters so she's not completely sold black. I'm so excited to think of the color combinations her and the others can have in future. Here they are in the garage aka quarantine. I know I photographed in way that looks like they in same cage but they aren't. his is 30x30 but hers is bigger

Beautiful!! And if you can get a rabbit upside down it puts them into a 'trance' this will allow you to clip their nails. Have your husband help you if possible.
