Rabbits are similar to chins in that they don't always like to have a cagemate, and even if they do, they can suddenly decide one day that they no longer like their cagemate. If you separate bonded rabbits, they can "forget" each other and have to be completely re-introduced. They may even...

That's not a true lethal gene. Maybe it could be classified as a "partial lethal" gene, but mostly it's just a gene which is linked to hermaphroditism. A true lethal gene is typically a gene which either causes death in utero, or death shortly after birth (within a matter of days). A true lethal...

So sorry for your loss. I know just how you feel; my 31 year old horse, Paris, passed away from a heart attack back in April. He was my first horse and a dream come true for me. Think of all the great times you had with him, and try to take comfort in the fact that you gave him a great life...

A couple of months ago, I got a voicemail on my cell phone from a guy with a heavy "foreign" accent (which I couldn't place), telling me he was a lawyer. He didn't say what firm he was with, but he informed me that he needed to talk to me about a lawsuit involving a good friend of mine. He told...

Those rabbits look like someone's breeding experiment. Brownie looks like a rex-furred Lionhead lop, which would take some effort on the part of the breeder to achieve. Hot Fudge looks like (s)he's supposed to be a Velveteen lop, but without the proper "English lop" ears. I agree that some of...

That's kind of like saying that, if you figure a human lives for 80 years, then we're only 5 generations removed from the days of Shakespeare, or from the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock.

I know a kid who has brain damage from being shaken by a babysitter when the kid was an infant. I'm not particularly fond of babies, but I cannot fathom how someone could do that to such a helpless little person. It nauseates me to think of it.

Man, that's sick.

Here's a beauty: http://omaha.craigslist.org/pet/2024216613.html "I have a pair of Chinchillas I need to find a home for. Our jobs are changing, and we are never home. Phil is a white mosaic. He loves to be petted, and will allow people to hold him. Violet is a standard grey. She has been...

Just about ANYthing is "possible".

Even the band Tesla was named after Nikola Tesla. He was an amazing inventor whose genius was astounding. I recommend reading about him sometime if you're not familiar with him. I love the chinny Tesla! What a cutie!

A couple of good Lionhead specific sites include the Lionhead Rabbit Site and the North American Lionhead Rabbit Club. Lionheads require the same care as every other breed, though they do require some extra attention to grooming, due to their longer fur around the head and flanks. The Rabbit...

I always get my Oxbow here in town. There's a store where I can get a 10 lb. bag for $13.50, which is great.

I had a pet hamster and got a silent spinner for her, and after about a month, the wheel part broke off its support structure. Luckily the hamster didn't get trapped under/inside the wheel when it broke off. Then, fool that I was, I replaced it with ANOTHER silent spinner, which broke in...

Ovarian cancer runs in my family (my dad's mom died from it at age 40, and my mom and all of my aunts on both sides have had trouble with their ovaries, and thus have had hysterectomies). I will definitely have a hysterectomy myself at some point; probably either after I have a couple of kids...

There's no way my dad would've let me use the washer and dryer at his house to wash fleece liners or the like for my animals. My dad is not a pet person and while he is very kind to animals, he is also very, very clean. (When our family had a dog, he would vacuum the whole house twice a day.)...

It's not the whole country. It's more of an individual community issue.

I envy whoever gets you as their Santa this year! You give great gifts!

I'm sorry you lost Willow and her babies. :( That's a hard situation.

I decry loud babies all the time, but I would never have one devocalized. :P Anyway, I wouldn't buy from a breeder who debarks all their dogs. I don't like the idea of such procedures except in extreme circumstances.
