I wasnt going to tell you guys but cant keep it in.

Not to beat it to death...someone in the earlier thread had been in touch with buttercup directly, and there was some attacking out of the cage.

She is also young - I don't know how young - and although the decision is hers, I think her parents have some say in it also. And why should someone keep on getting injured, especially when young?

Roxy might do well in a large run in a yard.

Three sides to every story: There's the way I see it, the way buttercup sees it, and the way it really is.

This is why I WASNT going to tell you guys is because I knew you would attack me ...
EDIT: And its obvious I do care about her or I wouldnt have made thread asking for help! Also I still live with my parents so they had a say in it and they both thought it was best because I do have a little sister aswell who was getting hurt for just petting Roxy the wrong way. THAT is not a pet that is more of a animal who dosent like people and is not considered a pet.

Honestly, what did you think everyone was going to say?

You post a thread three days ago saying your rabbit has cage aggression and you want her PTS. then oh no, you love her and want to work with her, 48 hours later she is sitting is a shelter. Yes I am POSITIVE that a shelter, which is most likely bursting at the seems of unwanted pets, is going to find the time to socialize and work with Roxy. What planet are you from?

What really takes the cake is posting pictures of your new rabbit. Out with the old and in with the new right?

[I_luv_rusty]

I don't want to attack you or anything. But, I really don't know why you gave Roxy away and got a new bunny I'm just so sad for her.
It just seems mean that you gave her away and just got a new bunny, I know you will miss her and all but thats just so sad.

If i lived anywhere near you. I'd be at that shelter picking up poor Roxy. When I gave away my rabbit, I just didn't give it to someone, or a place who would forget about her. Or give her away, or put her down. I gave her to a loving home, way better than mine. If I had Roxy, I would have done the same, no matter how long it takes to find one of those great homes, one of those homes forever!

Best of luck to Roxy, and your new bunny.

I just remembered - a neighbour of mine whose wee collie went to the RB decided to get a pair of bunnies. She is single, and her RB Lady's ashes will be buried with her, that is her decision. So she is very devoted.

I saw her new bunnies briefly once...then a few months later she had a single large bunny named Misty. I asked what had happened to the other ones?

I guess they were very ill-tempered and behaved badly..not even this lady's devotion could change that.

Once I housesat for one dog and two bunnies. The one bunny had a real attitude, though I didn't get bitten.

Bunnies look soft and cute to us - but that doesn't mean they are all angels. I was lucky to HAVE a wonderful bunny when I was younger...my sister and I called him "Rabby". OK, we weren't original.

There must be PTers that have faced the same situation with biting dogs or other situations. I think the same can happen with bunnies.

Just my opinion and experience.

You're probably just going to attack me, call me a lesbian and several other names, and attack my friends - but I've got to say something about this because it's something that irritates me immensely.

Three days ago (72 hours) you posted for advice and "support" - in which many gave you some highly intelligent, well-experienced suggestions.
Your story changed from killing her, to working with her, to dropping her off at the shelter - several different times within these past 3 days.

Now she is sitting at a shelter- MAYBE, if they have not killed her already - with a new bunny in her home. I highly doubt a shelter who would let someone exchange (for lack of better term) a pet would work with a so-called aggressive bunny.

Now I don't claim to know squat about bunnies, but I do believe some here who are more experienced with them have given you well advice which leads me to ask, What happened to working with her yourself?


Simba bit my mom twice, has gotten snappy with us over the years, and is usually rather cranky with new people. 8 years later we are still working with him... and i'd hate myself if I even thought of getting rid of him.


Good luck to you and the new bunny.


*edit* I see we're on the same page Jackie, I just happen to be a bit long-winded and slow in my typing.

[Catty1]

Kfamr - but were you an adult when this was decided? When BC first posted, I seem to recall it was her parents that wanted to get rid of Roxy...and she said No Way.

Depending on her age, her wishes won't carry a lot of clout. I think her parents even talked about PTS - if so, I expect the shelter was a compromise.

I just don't think it was all up to her, that's all.

[Kfamr]

Kfamr - but were you an adult when this was decided?

I was 10 years old when Simba bit my mom.

[buttercup132]

I'm sorry Kay for calling you those names. Thanks for saying good luck and being a little nice well not attacking me. I know I changed my mind many times but I couldnt make up my mind it was a tough desicion and thats why I kept changing my mind.

[buttercup132]

They knew the situation they knew that she would bite so no they wouldnt put her to sleep just bacause she bit them once...They dont have very many animals and the ones they do have they work with.

Well in that case I hope she has a chance. And good luck to Teddy in his new home.

I could imagine that you hated to give away Roxy. I don't see it such a bad thing. If you couldn't do anything with her then I think you did the right thing. I don't really see the point in keeping a rabbit that is going to bite you every time you try and touch it. I think you did the right thing. Maybe the shelter can work with it.I feel that Buttercup knows what is best for Roxy, and if she feels that she did the right thing then who am I to judge.

I think your new bunny is adorable!

I do think she did the right thing. But was getting a new bunny the right thing? What if it get aggrasive?(sp?) Are you going to get a new bunny again?
