I have to agree, green chameleon girl....I'm sorry....I had a friend who had a grey dutch rabbit and it was a LOT of work. I had always wanted one, but my mom was allergic to their dander so I couldn't (she worked at Shillito's before it became Lazarus in the fur department and it nearly killed her).....and having this friend later in life taught me how much work they truly are. It was her only pet, though, so she could devote all her time to it, but since you have other pets.....I don't know, you really need to think long and hard before you invest in a bunny. Another thing is, they need to be let out of their cages every day and played with, and she could do that since she didn't have any other pets....you would have to lock the other animals out so they didn't hurt your poor bunny. Lots of things to consider. I hope you can get one, but I just don't want you to be disappointed.
My boyfriend's brother is your age...just turned 13 on the 16th....and he's had a bird for the past year and a half....it's a parakeet and he neglects it and doesn't ever take care of it, his father or my boyfriend have to do that. I'm not saying you would do that, I know you wouldn't.....the fact that you wrote to us at all says that you wouldn't neglect your poor bunny....all I'm saying is that when you're young, you want pets and beg for them and when you get them, they turn out to be a lot more work than you'd originally thought. I know you wouldn't do this, but a bird is a lot of work, but it's also a lot easier than a rabbit. Just some things to think over.
Just my $.02. Take care, and happy birthday!
