So, a while back, after the recent earthquake/tsunami disaster in Japan, I started to wonder, how will I prepare myself for an earthquake now that I have a rabbit? Of course, my first thought right after the disaster was for all the people suffering and struggling in Japan. But I live in the Lower Mainland of B.C. and we have always been due for "The Big One".. So after a couple days of mourning and worrying for friends and their families in Japan, I started thinking about this... we aren't super well prepared, even without the rabbit, but I've always been conscious of basic survival and preparedness in the event of an emergency.
So, let's discuss some things, all out of curiosity...
I remember that my family's dogs, and sometimes cats, would behave differently right before an earthquake... has anyone ever witnessed a domestic house rabbit exhibiting different or unusual behaviour right before an earthquake?
In the event of an emergency, do you have some kind of kit or pack prepared specifically for your bun(s)?
If you weren't home and there was an earthquake, would you first go home to see and ensure that your rabbits were safe?
I sheepishly brought it up with my husband the other day, and I said I would want to get Mojo safe before we did anything else(assuming for some reason we couldn't stay at our home), he told me of course we would, unless for some reason we really, really couldn't.
Any other thoughts on emergencies and rabbits? Most specifically earthquakes and/or tsunamis?
Another emergency related but not earthquake related thought I had... do any of you have something to let people know about the pets in the home, in the event of a fire? Like say if something happened when you weren't home... I know some people have those stickers that go on the window or whatever and say that there are dogs or cats in the home, but does anyone have that for their buns?
Sorry for all the questions and lengthy-ness, but I've never had "bunny people" other than my husband to discuss this with...
