Hi everybody
I am in a situation that I consider emergency. Nobody's sick yet but I feel very very bad.
I am renting one part of the duplex, the owner lives in another part but he never introduced himself as owner, we found out occasionally. When we moved in, we didn't have pets. Later we got bunnies. Our backyard is not divided. He is a type of a guy that only goes outside to mow - literally. He leaves by his car thru garage and comes back home the same way. Never does anything outside if his house, he is middle age single guy.
I was planning to let the bunnies out in the back so I asked him if he minded. He didn't. We made the yard bunny and other animals proof and didn't have problems for a long time except for cats trespassing sometimes. Bunnies do have a hutch but its kind of clumsy and they don't use it much. We house them inside garage overnight (we never park there) , they come into the house in extreme heat but they are not house bunnies.
Anyway, some time ago the neighbor started to express that he is not very happy that bunnies sometimes sitting where he can see them. As far as I understood they chewed up some of his cables , as you can see cables repaired and he put up a small fence around. I always told him to come to me and tell if bunnies are causing any problems.
Finally he saw me feeding them in the yard, he came out and told me that he needs to put up a fence dividing the yard. I apologized for inconvenience. Then nothing was going on for a month, I thought he forgot.
By that time I decided to divide the yard with stakes and chicken wire. When I was about to get stuff and start, he came to me and said people will be working on the fence. I told him I could do smaller fence without expenses. He said its decided that he needs a fence as other tenants annoyed him in the past.
Now is a problem. People from COX came and marked A WHOLE yard with paint that is probably toxic and they put LOTS of sharp flags to mark the cables. I don't understand if we need a fence between us, why they did most of the marking in my far corner where we have bushed and certainly it will stay ours. I am concerned that bunnies will be hurt. While that guy was working he left the gate wide open. Good thing I was at home and nobody escaped.
I understand that most people would say that the best thing is to keep bunnies in the hutch. Right at this time its not possible. I also have to say that my husband is a jerk and he is no help. I have 4 baby cockatiels hatched in the house and it was a complete shock as we thought we had 2 boy birds. I am stressed a lot. I am at school and I have a young child.
When it rains, all the paint is probably goes into the ground. We had some COX marking in the past (not so much though) and buns were OK.
I even went to the neighbor to tell how pissed I was but luckily he wasn't home. I expect a lot of expenses and trouble when we move out. So I thought I should keep my mouth shut.
What to do and how to behave? thanks.
