I have two and they’re wonderful, have never bitten or anything, but they do enjoy the run of a lot of space for a couple of hours a day (and eating everything in sight). That’s well worth them climbing all over you with ratty cuddles though!

Guinea pigs are sweet and wont ever bite, but they can be fairly messy when it comes to cages. Rabbits when raised properly can be litter trained like a cat, and can be just as playful as a puppy.

The circumstances reminds me strongly of Alva and Steve’s case in Florida. However, if I recall correctly you contributed to their legal fund as well.

They used to like to groom the humans, cuticles and hair were they favorites.
The female ate it’s babies and beat up the male quite often tho.
I am also partial to rabbits. Get them young and they act just like cats in personality and hygiene.
Older bunnies are also wonderful, but quite often set in their ways.

I had 4 in my childhood years. They are smart, loving, and very easy to care for!

Rabbits are definitely a bigger commitment than the majority of hamsters/gerbils, if you need to take that into consideration.

We were told at the pet store that our rabbit would last about 5 to 7 years. 11 years later I was burying my first pet.

i would tend to side with him either way. but ive just found that while so many in the industry are pushing laws, standards and regulations (and poop on others for not following those regulations and standards) they themselves go off and violate laws, regulations and standards they dont agree with. they tend to hide behind artistic freedom and body freedom. which i certainly respect, but still there is a huge double standard in the industry that needs to be addressed.

Those places are disgusting and treat their animals like garbage, particularly the smaller animals.

Shannon,

While I know nothing about your notebook, maybe a cheaper way to fix it would be to replace the keyboard unit. I have seen on YouTube that some people have changed out their notebook keyboard – and it seems like it wouldn ‘t be too bad to do.

Then again, you could always modify the keyboard- and redesign it in the design of “steampunk” :)

But I suppose symbology does change greatly over time…

I have 2 house bunnies and they are great. They behave more like dogs than rabbits and follow me everywhere! Begging for treats is their speciality!

At the beginning just as we were not today’s rat nor was it today’s snake – it was more like a lizard with little hanbs and feel

remember you don’t need to dig the burrow if someone else has

and so it was that the dread of snakes was hard-wired into the insectivore

C.G. Jung calls it the collective unconscious

this dread of that thing that hunted us down and killed us
in the dark

He is task with problem of snake management or rather what to do about BrunoBrunhilda death dealing Rat Snake

It turns out and it is not only a great story but it turns out that mammals evolved from a creature who lost out to the dinasours at the time but in the losing became a tiny nocturnal creature about the size of a rat and over time became a rat and over more time a badger a racoon a primate and finally a man.

They’re intelligent, litter trainable, gregarious and loving. Just make sure she gets a healthy pair as they’re prone to respiratory problems :)

Had hooded rats. They seem to be the least in-bred and dopey.

ARGH!
Anyway, I vote for one of those. They’re super fat and cute!
