Well our rats died. The pet store sold us sick rats.
So today we went to a different pet store to get some replacements and we left with something different instead.... A two month old bunny. A Netherland Dwarf Rabbit to be exact. She is very friendly.
All through growing up my mum has taken in stray cats and such, and they were more "outside" animals. That of course meant, that 6 months couldn't go by without losing one. We recently lost an entire batch of kittens to a fox. It's gotten me to the point where animal deaths don't bother me, but I won't say I don't care either. As you said, it happens ~neutral~
I've always found bunnies to be cool animals. They're not the biggest things around, yet they manage to survive in nature just fine. I can see it making a great pet as long as it has some room to stretch it's ears (and sounds like you've got that covered ~razz~ )
I've had 2 rabbits before. One froze to death and the other one starved. :r
Wasn't my fault that my rabbit froze to death because I couldn't lift his 'home' by myself and my parents/brothers wouldn't help moving it. 🙁
I'd love to actually get a Rabbit One-day! In Kindergarten...my teacher actually let me take her rabbit home for my birthday, she even drove me to my house. How cool is that? -8)-
