Me, bunnies and God update

[robvalue]

I just had a little chat with my bunnies and they made some very interesting points. Last night a cat wailing outside upset the rabbits, the rabbits starting stomping which upset our dog, and our dog starting barking which woke us up!

Have you tried the mushrooms?

What did you do to the cat?

[robvalue]

No, we had to pull all the mushrooms up! They were growing on top of a tree stump, and we didn't realize they had suddenly spread all down the side of it. We only figured out that's what it was when we caught her in the act! Good thing we saw her and noticed all the new mushrooms or it could have gone on indefinitely.

I have no idea what the cat was moaning about outside. They tend to stare at each other across the car park and make the weirdest noises like they're being strangled

That toy is the best thing ever invented for rabbits. :o

[robvalue]

Yeah, they love it! Jasmine sometimes picks the whole thing up and throws it around too

To anyone thinking about getting rabbits: Of course the decision is yours, but please consider getting some from a rescue centre rather than a breeder

The rabbits have certainly enriched our lives. Even when we're not peering at them or stroking them, we're talking about them!

I would recommend getting a bonded pair (male and female) who have be neutered. Bonding them yourself is really hard work! We found that out the hard way I've learnt a lot more about rabbits since we've had them, including that neutering is important not just to stop unwanted litters but for health reasons. Females have an extremely high chance (80%) of getting fatal tumours if they don't have the operation.

Sorry for the rant

Here's an older video I made that new members probably haven't seen! Apologies for the background noise, I'm so dense I didn't realize my neighbour was carving up bodies with a chainsaw at the time.

I would always get my pets from a rescue centre first anyway, my cat was adopted from one of those. And don't worry about the "rant", some interesting facts I genuinely didn't know - especially the tumour part.

[robvalue]

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear that All our pets have come from rescues too.

Yes, the tumour thing is sadly not well known at all, and so many bunnies die needlessly. The owners probably won't even know why. We rehomed one from a friend after they couldn't take care of her anymore, and it turned out she hadn't been neutered. We took her straight up the vet to be done, but it was too late Even appearing mainly outwardly healthy, she had tumours too far progressed and she didn't last long.
