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

Wow how quickly things change. I got yelled at by Buttercup for sticking up for Roxy in the other thread. She told me "For the last time im NOT getting rid of her now!" and that was only 4 days ago!

I hate it when someone has a cute little bunny, puppy, whatever and then when it grows up bad (usually due to how they were raised) they just get rid of it as if it didn't have a soul. This isn't a pair of pants that didn't fit, it's a life! My dog Jimmy was “discarded” after he wasn’t a cute little puppy anymore. I ALWAYS stay out of these threads, but this one is so crazy it makes me so mad. The fact that she adopted another rabbit when she wasn't willing to work with this one is so irresponsible. People need to redefine the definition of "animal lover."

I don't usually like to go into these threads, but I totally agree with you My Peanuts.

I think you should have at least tried harder to get her to be more friendly. I know I personally didn't know Roxy... but I'm dissapointed you just dropped her off at a shelter.

Stop using the little sister thing as a defense...you could have had the little sister leave the rabbit alone while you worked with her temperament problems. Rabbits' personalities can change, I use to raise them and I AM in school to become a Vet Tech.

I did re-home one rabbit due to temperament problems, and you know what? I didn't just dump him at a shelter, I FOUND HIM A HOME.

Yes that is indeed a very good point, the fact that you bred and raised Roxy yourself, means you should have been trying very hard to find her a home more suitable, not just making it the shelters problem, that is NOT what they are there for, that is one issue i really have a major problem with, also you really just did not give her enough time , as people pointed out within two days you had dumped her at the shelter, even though you had told everyone you were willing to try and work with Roxy.

If indeed Roxy finds a more suitable home then i guess you did the right thing, but there is no guarantee of that, can you honestly live with it if Roxy is PTS, I myself would have a terrible time dealing with that, I hope for Roxy and you that does not happen.

People are not being mean to you or harsh, they are simply pointing out things you would have been better to do, and maybe if the situation arises again,(hopefully not) you will be more inclined to do things a bit differently.

I had a netherland dwarf, actually it was my son's pet, and she was no angel, she used to bite you , but we never ever considered parting with her.

I just hope all turns out well in the end for everyone concerned.

I am not commenting on the bunny part b/c I don't know bunnies and have no clue what to do with them. What I am commenting on is, while I am sure she doesn't need anyone to stand up for her but I am saying it anyway, I read what you wrote to Kay on myspace and you have a lot of nerve.

[CagneyDog]

I read what you wrote to Kay on myspace and you have a lot of nerve.

I also read that. To say the least, you should be, very embaressed.

I agree, I had a rabbit about 1 year ago and she was tempererament problems and I did find her a home. I never considered just dumping her off at the shelter thinking ohhh she'll get a home.



The thing that really gets to me, is that you get a new rabbit. And you say he has litter issues but we will work on them, why couldn't you work on Roxy. She deseves just as much as Teddy does!!

[dab_20]

I've got alot of rabbits, and alot of them have temperment problems. I would never think of dumping them off at a shelter. I would feel SO guilty. That just tells the rabbit you don't love her enough to work out the problems with her. That may be harsh, but it's true.

I agree. I really do think you should have worked with Roxy more and gave her a chance.
