They're all worth every bit of it tho!
You took the words right out of my mouth!!
I won't lie...it's a tremendous amount of work. Doing the litterboxes has become a group effort with Danny and me...and usually takes about fifteen minutes (used to take longer when it was just me doing it). And, yes we buy a lot of litter and food. But, they're so so worth it...and they're so wonderful, I WANT to do all this work for them!
One thing to consider if you're thinking of having a large number of buns, though, and something that Peg pointed out to me long ago...
The bigger the number of animals you have, the more the chance that SOMEONE will be sick and need vet care. You up your chances. Just something to keep in mind.
I consider myself quite fortunate. Our animals are really healthy a good, I'd say, 80% of the time. Which, when you have ten animals total (counting buns currently here and two kitties), is a fairly good ratio. I take a lot of time to be sure they're getting above and beyond the care, attention, love, etc. that they need. Sure, things like cage cleanings might go a little past the time most people would get around to it...but it does get done...the bun binkying around at my feet the whole time (hehe).
It is my joy, though...I have so many "people" to talk to during the day...so many little souls to love and care for. I really thrive on that...having so many to care for really is what I'm all about.
Hugs to ya'll!
