Oh bummer, I just wrote out a big post and then accidentally clicked away from the page 😛

Regarding the ban on some pets, I don’t know much about Chinchillas but I do know that parrots aren’t technically considered domesticated, each individual is either tame or not. I can certainly get behind species such as Servals not being allowed as pets…[Read more]

@Bam: yes, rabbits will tell you what they’re comfortable with. We don’t have to force companionship onto them if they don’t want it. The behaviour you mentioned clearly shows his feelings about the situation.

Look at Breintje for example: he had no interest in other rabbits, not even if there were cute does around. With humans he was always…[Read more]

Chinchillas? Um… pretty sure they are just as domesticated as guinea pigs are. Both are cavies, so what’s the difference?

I agree. For a few years (too few, because I’d have wanted a longer life for my Yohio), I had 2 male rabbits that I couldnt bonded despite seroous efforts.  They free roamed in half my apt each, separated by a double gate. They as a rule liunged next to each other alongside the gate, but could suddenly, wihout warning, cjarge at each other and…[Read more]

Bonding photo dump from today. Also one of Nellie’s face after eating some choppy hay 😂

So overall its been about a week of bonding and things seems to be going okay. They are generally becoming more relaxed in eachothers presence and are now both flopping, grooming themselves, eating hay together, usually seperate piles at the moment but at the same time.

One thing giving cause for concern –

Glenn is still trying to mount Nellie…[Read more]

Oh, wonderful! Sounds great! Poop will likely be a bit irtegular for a week or so  but that’s quite ok!

These next few weeks her temper and mood might be a bit volatile, but that’s simply due to her body and brain adjusting to the abrupt stop in the production and release of female sex hormones (they are produced in the ovaries, which she…[Read more]

Thank you!!!  She’s eating today!!!  She started eating some basil and oregano last night, this morning has eaten pellets, hay, lettuce and all the snack food in her cage from last night (applesauce, raspberry, strawberry tops, and rosemary)!!!  She’s pooping and moving around a bit more.  Not as active as she typically is, but was very exc…[Read more]

Yes, we’d hop the border if they were forbidden! (It’s barely 10 miles from here anyway…)

Funny though that they took the level of domestication to decide whether an animal would make a good pet. According to that logic cats shouldn’t be kept as pets. Free-roaming cats are a massive threat to local wildlife, even if they have a home. There are…[Read more]

Im delighted wabbits are still ok. For now.

There is a new list yes, it’ll become effective in 2024. It’s a greenlist of 30 mammals, and all other mammals will become off-limits. You can still keep existing pets if they’re not on the list, but you’re not allowed to buy, sell or breed new ones after 2024.

Pets that will be forbidden after 2024 are: serval cats, degoe mice, Russian dwarf…[Read more]

There’s no age-exclusive related safety concerns. Generally speaking, if both rabbits are relatively healthy and energetic, the safety considerations will be the same as with any two rabbits, so watching to see how they communicate and if either are aggressive, being mindful of how severe that aggression is and having preparations to handle and…[Read more]

Oooops..! 😂

He is beautiful. Looks like my bridge bun Bam. 💗
