Hi!

I used to have pet rats. I can't have them anymore, since I'm off to college soon and my parents don't want to be left with pets.

but here are my babies, rip little lads <3

(after my poor man had a stroke, he was paralyized in the back legs .. he lived a few months afterwards though, nothing slowed him down!)

I’m going to add that the only reason Rabbits do this is because the are abused and mistreated everywhere. If you ever see a rabbit in a cage just realize that these cages are not suitable for even a hamster. A Rabbit also must have an unlimited supply of hay, which is really commonly not give To them. Unreasonable owners who tend to forget to feed or refill their rabbits hay, kill rabbits every day Bc rabbits cannot go more than 8 hours without eating or will die. I believe in the Free-ranging of rabbits in homes and consider and form of small cage animal abuse. Pens and runs that are large enough for the rabbit to do “zoomies” is acceptable as long as the rabbit is allowed put of it for at least an hour a day

this is just my opinion which I feel strongly about. I hope I can help someone who has been given mis information (which is common from pet stores telling people that small cages r ok) I just really am trying to get the word out that rabbits are not simple keepers and require a lot more than they receive

:l

I hate people who keep rabbits in tiny little cages

I don't care the reason, i don't care if they are "just for meat".. GIVE THEM A PROPER CAGE

my future rabbits will be free ranged.

Ahh nice! Do you focus on a certian coat color or pattern? Or a coat type?

I focus mostly on black eye Siamese, black eye Himalayan, blue self, black self, blue/black English Irish and a couple side projects. I am also working on breeding rex back into the lines. The mice I don't have anything really special going on except satin and merle
