I had a house rabbit so many years ago. It was amazing how quickly he learned things. The biggest problem, electrical cords. Young and dumb on my part is my only explanation for what happened. Dog (my little girl named him) chewed a cord and turned vicious afterwards. He attacked everything that came near his cage, food and water was a challenge. But the vet said give him a few weeks he should settle down again and he did.

One time my Sister brought her smallish dog to the house, the dog thought it was a good idea to chase the rabbit. Except the rabbit ended up chasing the dog and the dog got the idea the rabbit was not such an easy push over.

And the bonus? He house broke himself. I'm not sure anyone at the time knew a rabbit could be housebroken, this was 40 yrs ago. I noticed that when I opened his cage after getting in from work he would occasionally jump back in for a minute then back out again.

Its crazy how fast they adapt. A rabbit takes 1 week to become potty trained from I read. Thats faster then a cat.

If only my chinchillas could do that.

Anybody know someone in the middle TN area that raises Swedish Flower Hens? I only had one hatch out, and I'd like to get at least two or three other chicks.

ETA: Or true Araucanas since we only got 2 of those.

I think I saw someone list them on the Clarksville Craigslist. If you don't find them you can list a wanted ad.

Oh my God, SimplySplendid, your birds are gorgeous! Lovely pics you posted on 12/4. Thanks for sharing.

Hope you are all well! Looks like it's getting a bit colder tonight, but it's that time of year, eh! Last year at this time it was 0 at night and 40 mph winds. *shiver*


(And nice bun pics, Holly! LOL!)
