I agree that altering is the best way to go but I can say for certain that even where I live people scoffed at the idea of having my rabbit desexed. It was a pain for me to try and find a vet that had any experiencewhatsoever desexing a female rabbit. As it turns out it was the RSPCA vet who...
No Queensland for me either! The Australian balance in fauna really has been totally skewed and rabbits have been TOTALLY out of control in the past. There's something about Australia that when it seemsa feral animal appears they just explode in population - we don't really havetoo many large...
I've spent sometime in the parrot breeding world and most good qualitybreeding aviariesseem to beclosed to the public now. Websites with lots ofpictures of the facilityand (hopefully!) legitimate testimonials seem to work wonders for those who don't want strangers in their aviaries and handling...
I looked on the state Governments website and they say:
Queensland is the only state to keep an area free of rabbits by maintaining a rabbit-proof fence and controlling rabbit populations in the area. Allowing rabbits to be kept within the area protected by the fence may endanger this...
I imagine young rabbits could adapt and certainly to suburban areas - there's a bunch of domestic rabbits that live under the Harbour bridge I think. Here in Canberra our fox population is so high andso confident in built up areasthat I think they'd pick off anything that wasn't a normal color...
Welcome! :D
Rabbits are so wonderful and really are one of the best companions anyone can have but are super great foruni students! Watch out though - I have handed in so many essays that have little nibbles taken out of thecorners ofthem thanks to Lady.
Enjoy the forum and the warm weather!
My intro thread reminded me that here in Australia Queensland has banned the keeping of rabbits for a long time and I wonder about that. I assume it's because they are somewhat ill informed about domestic rabbits escaping and surviving to breed more in the wild.
How likely is that really? I...
Mylandlord is so blase when it comes to pets. I love that but I imagine some of them would just have a fit at hearing that a rabbit could even live inside the house.
Queensland's laws are a bit crazy - my bun couldn't survive a night outside alone!
Wow! So many Australians!!! It's so great to know that there's other people in Australia who keep rabbits in the house as everytime I tell someone they just think it's so weird. I wish I knew how to promote house buns to more Australians as they really are missing out!
Lady isn't too fond of being held - she puts up with it but you can tell she just wants to be put down. I've been clicker training her so that when I sit on the couch she will sit on my lap. It's a nice compromise I think. It lets her set her terms of feet onsolid groundand for me to get some...
Ahhh Drop Bears. So many poor tourists in tents have had a fearful, sleepless night due to Australians telling them the horror stories of the Drop Bear. It's just such fun though!!!
Ooo I love my big white bunny. Nothing like binkies that shake the house.
Notoriously difficult to photograph though... just wants to be in your lap demanding attention!
What agreat birthday present!You must post pictures of the cage and Colin! (I must admit I love looking at other peoples cages - they give me such great ideas!).
I'm a big fan of neutering simply because it just seems to take out the whole hormonal issue, no more worries! - mind you all my...
