When I was a young adult, I met several people with bunnies. I think they can't be housetrained (?), and maybe keeping them in pens didn't seem right to people anymore. Keep them outside and they'd probably be gone by morning. They are really sweet looking. I don't know that I've ever really held one. Caged animals are just hard for me to accept, especially birds.
My daughter just had to rehome her rabbit and I have to say I was relieved. I don't think it was too happy as a caged creature, despite the fact that they used to let it run around the house. I think people are probably kidding themselves when they say that rabbits can be housetrained. They leave those little droppings all over the place and chew the electricity cables as well. To be honest I've never understood the attraction for them as pets. They look cute and fluffy but that's all they've got going for them. Have you ever tried to communicate with one? It's most unrewarding; I just look into those eyes and know that there's nobody in.
It's cats for me, every time.
Yeah, true. I don't really like the idea of keeping pets at all, especially anything that has to live in a cage or risk going amok. Dogs seems to like out companionship since they are social critters, and cats aren't really "owned" anyway, especially if they're indoor/outdoor, so those don't bother me. But all these exotic pets like snakes, lizards, parrots - especially birds - upsets me. It's not how they evolved to live, in a cage.
Cause they poop all over the floor!
So do some old people.
Snorts with laughter.
one word: RATS
rabbits attract rats like nobodies business, are generally skittish, and dig holes everywhere. they are much nicer darting around in the wilderness or glazed with a lovely mint sauce than they are as pets. just my four ha'pennies.
Wow, I learned some new things today. Didn't know there were so many bunny experts!
What about gerbils...
I used to keep gerbils. Long story short, they're cannibals. When I left home, they stayed with my folks. My mum had just got used to them, even fed them by hand. Then one day she went in to check their water bottle and Whammo!!! one was eating the other ones head.
Altogether now
'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'
I don't like gerbils anyway, they smell like ass.
A conclusive comparison based on empirical evidence?
*Hides behind the Fifth Amendment*
Now gerbils I do like (apart from their habitual eating of offspring.) They have character, and do useful things like eat the big spider in the bath. I like their attitude; I remember Henry, the gerbil I had when I was 15 showing utter disdain for our enormous orange cat who used to poke his nose into the cage. Henry actually ran over to the cat and bit him on the nose! He also used to run around the edge of the bathtub when I was taking a bath. He had many adventures including falling into the toilet. Unfortunately he met a sad end when my little brother accidentally trod on him. He didn't die immediately, so my Dad tok him out to the garage where he constructd a mini rodent gas chamber and finished him off humanely. I will end here before I get sidetracked into my fathers eccentric inventions....
And they only smell if you don't clean them out! (Fathers that is.)
Typos :-)
Your pops actually had the means to construct an impromptu gas chamber for a gerbil???
Holy hell.
Is he still alive and do you think he could scale one up a bit? Say, to accommodate a rather larger animal... oh, I dunno... roughly 6'2", 215 lbs?
Now now.. we're having none of that! One of my Dad's other crazy inventions was a rain detector for my Mum so that she would know when to bring the laundry indoors. As if she couldn't tell by merely looking out of the window! These days he mostly keeps himself occupied by printing small sticky labels for almost everything he owns. Fortunately he's harmless.
Your dad sounds like a kick. I've known people that were always tinkering with things like that, just for the sheer pleasure of it. I'm not one of those people but I'm glad they exist... every once in awhile you get a Thomas Edison or Steve Wozniak from that crowd.
We just got headaches from all the superflous alarm bells and buzzers throughout the house.
Lol. Sounds like the Weasley household!
Steve Wozniak!
That's an anagram, right?
It's actually a mammogram.
