Be Excellent To Each Other

Well one's a predator and one's prey. I suppose it's dependent on the nature of your cat, but I certainly wouldn't leave them alone together.

Mrs A and I get on OK.

Now I can just see you huddled in the corner, nervously nibbling a carrot, glancing over at her from the corner of your eye.

I agree with this. I was upset when we had to move Holly outdoors. But not as distressed as she was.



Listen to Dimrill, he knows what he's talking about here too.



Also this.

Rabbits are fairly communicative creatures, but not as we'd expect. Rabbits are often too proud to accept a grooming unless you've asked them first. (Tap the ground in front of them, and if they lower their heads, that's an invititation to groom).
Do not clean their chin at best, they'll be insulted by this and start licking you, at worst you'll have a furious rabbit clawing you.



I used really soft hay for both my Guinea pigs and my rabbit. soft enough not to have that problem, no problems cleaning, and very comfortable (and hide-in-able) for them.



Depends. Some can bond really well, although I wouldn't want to risk it. Dogs and rabbits, no.

You might think that but I couldn't possibly comment.

Animals are fine to be kept outside in a cage. In the winter though I brought them either into a shelter/garage etc or had them as close to the house and a wall as possible. They were fine.
They got handled and fussed and groomed and taken indoors everyday anyway.

I have a large indoor hutch doing nothing in my shed at the moment, Dimrill better stop making me want to get another rabbit or there is going to be trouble!

Why would I do that?

Stop iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!

okay.

Damn these typing fingers! I've accidentally typoed in a picture url of Twitch again. TUT!

Awww!

I can't have another pet now, no-one to look after it when we go away, so I'll just look at pictures of yours instead

That's why I use the Bunny Hotel in Brocton. Karen looks after Twitch when we're gone for a week, and she'll probably be having our rats as well

I've been wondering what to do when uni finishes, a bunny hotel would be an excellent idea! I really miss our old one Hazel, she was a rescue bunny and watching her get more confident as she learned we weren't going to hurt her was aces.

I didn't realise you had rats too, probably a good thing from when I dreamt about you and Stu in one night. That would have been even more freaky if they had BOTH contained rats.

If both Stu and Dimrill had contained rats?

Absolutly!

I jsut saw Mr and Mrs Starling gathering things for their nest from my bedroom window. It was rather cute.

Also:

Now I want one >< Stop stop stop.
A brown one..like the first photo...awww

Stop what?







(Click for larger versions, natch)

I don't know what she's on about either.

I think Shewolf's gone a bit mental.

I'm going to have to sell my cage to stop me from getting one.

Why not get a human slave? They don't need cages, and are less prone to eye infections. You can have any colour you want, so long as it's black.

Damn right Tuts.

Aww, I don't think I have any photos of my previous rabbits or guinea pigs.
I must now visit you people with these cute pets...seeing as I cannot have any.

I don't have any cute pets, but I do have one of these...

Awww, a jpg...cute

I think she's seeing things. Things that just aren't there.

Oh, I know when I see and hear things that are not there...I am quite familar with that.
Um, I prefer rabbits to babies I'm afraid..now I miss my Abyssinian Guinea Pigs..
One was like this (and another was white, ginger and black)

I saw the yellow bag in the corner and the square pattern on the blanket and thought 'Is this... Baby-monopoly? What the hell is that?'

Love me....

Yay! Naked mole rat!

This was my last pet..bless him. One of the many strays/homeless dogs I have rescued.
His name was Duke, lovely boy.

Aww, his face is starting to change now, he's lovely Grim...

I can't believe you're using those cotton wool balls though, use the flat cotton pads, LOADS easier!

You need to draw on a beard until he's old enough to grow one.

Hahaha! If ever I spawn a little Proscriptor, I'm doing that. If I can find a ginger biro.

That's where it went! You've had it all this time?

Did I win?

No, X-Files won.
