The Dodo is my absolute favorite website, it makes me happy in sad times.

Just an aside, but when animals besides dogs and cats roam freely in people's homes I always wonder if they're able to be housebroken or if their people just clean up after them.

3. I've had pet rabbits. They were litter box trained just like a cat.

They kind of tell you what corner of the house is their favorite, and you put thelr litterbox there. You have to be careful about what kind of litter you use--it can't be clumping or made out of anything that would be both tasty and dangerous. And you cover the litter in hay.

2. So glad to see Bunny out and about socializing most of the time. Most bunny guardians don't realize

that bunnies who are caged long periods of time need a fairly large space, much bigger than the average little wire cage provides. But oh the clean up after them when they are out! This family does a wonderful job and really teaches us all something about a bunny’s capacity to share affection.

when we were little. When I became an adult and volunteered at the local Humane Society we had a rabbit with us. We took animals to visit seniors, teens, etc who were in group homes. The rabbit was STRONG! I was so surprised since the one I had never kicked like the one we took to visit people. It was like a kangaroo. He was very popular, but so were the rats. All the animals were loved and appreciated.
