If my hubby threatened to get rid of me for bringing home a bun, he would so be on the balcony for the week. Or more.

If it was a small animal, I don’t think my husband would care if one suddenly appeared. He might be upset if I brought home a dog or a cat without telling him though. Hehe!

men just don’t seem to pick up on those hints, do they?

Sit him down and tell him, this bun is demanding you take him/her home.

Hehe

At my house I have two options for a situation such as this.

1)Tell husband about said cute bunny and listen to his usual do we need another pet and how many is enough speech. Then he says if I really think we NEED another animal it’s up to me. By then he’s getting really quiet and mopes around a couple of days.

2)Bring home said cute bunny without telling husband and surprise him when he gets home. Then he gives me “the speech” and mopes for a couple of days.

I usually go with option 2.

Here’s a plan I may do myself someday:

1. Adopt Bunny while hubby is not home.
2. Keep Bunny hidden when hubby gets home.
3. Place bunny in basket with blankets over him
4. Place basket outside of door.
5. Ring Doorbell.
6. Let hubby discover the adorable “doorbell baby”.
7. Swear you had nothing to do with it.

Keep in mind they would have to be housed separately for awhile during the bonding process. And I’m not sure what Tilly’s habitat is like now, but chances are the habitat size would have to be increased if they become a bonded pair. While a bonded pair is not more work than one, two single bunnies is more work. Two bunnies also increases litter, food, and vetcare costs. There’s a lot to take into consideration before adopting a second rabbit. I wouldn’t go into it in a sneaky way, it should be a family decision.

I agree with Beka. It needs to be a family decision not a sneaky one. Make sure everyone is on board and you are committed to the possibility of them not bonding and the commitment of the bonding process. But definitely make sure everyone in the family is on board with the decision.

For the record, my post was a joke.

Yeah… right.

Look at your signature, they’re covered in BLANKETS!!!  That’s how you got each one of them!  

With his cute face, I am sure someone will give him a home.

My boyfriend doesn’t argue with me about animals – if I mention I _really_ want it, he said it’s less work for him to agree than to put up with me if we can’t get it. lol I do all the animal care, so all he has to do is play with them and sometimes work OT if we need something big for them. He even worked OT so we could adopt our female, it was an unexpected $300 but he worked 10 hour shifts to afford her+her spay and vet checkup. <3

That doorbell baby plan sounds like an awesome way to “discover” a new pet though lol

Good idea. It is good to enjoy the rabbit that you have now.. because they are A LOT of work But the work is worth it.

Beka27- No…… **shifty eyes**  It was nothing like that. lol

Actually, it’s funny. Olivia was the third bunny and she was the only one that Ricky was 100% okay with. Probably because he felt bad for her too. He’s a softie at heart

Would Rex fit in a basket LPT? And what about when it’s a horse? lol “It just wandered into the yard I swear”

Haha that is so funny! I love the baby door-bell thing… I’m sure someone will give the bunny a cute home, as he is SO CUTE!
