    I think Teddy and Baby need a new home.

    First off not looking for bashing. I was just thinking about it.
    With school and everything starting up they aren't getting the time they need.
    I got a new job offer that takes up so much of my time and then I have to balance in my bf (who also doesn't come over to the house because he works till late and is on house arrest at 9) and school. I just don't feel they are getting the attention they should be like they used to get. Like Kali said in her thread about Kishii the cats are easier cause they aren't caged and dont need to be let out and constantly watched.
    It's my last year of school and I have to get all my manditory credits done in one semester. Then I will also be moving out soon and I don't see how I will be able to afford the two cats and 2 rabbits.
    Again I never said I was re homing them yet or anything I was just putting it out there as a thought because I feel bad that I dont have the time for them.

    It's a hard decision to make. I know what you mean though. Rabbits are truly a hard animal to properly care for. They need more time and energy then dogs or cats.

    When I return to Gerogia in about a month I will be moving out on my own. I have 2 dogs, Nova and Konnor who I will be taking with me along with my rabbits. However, my friends little sister (she is 8) is watching my bunny Jaxom for me while I'm in Alaska. She takes such good care of him and emails me weekly to tell me about all the fun things they are doing. Her parents help her take care of him and they say that she is so responsible and is now telling them when he needs something (food, water, litter changed) instead of the other way around. They have been so responsible not allowing her to open the door without her parents there. They have been jokingly saying that when I get back they are going to move so I can't find Jaxom. Either way they know that when I come to get him they are going to get a bunny. I have been honestly considering allowing them to keep Jaxom. With Sharra, Julian, Nova, Konnor and my job taking so much of my time I know he will find everything he needs in them where with me he may not get all the attention or love he deserves. It breaks my heart to think about not having him there with me daily, but I've been trying to think about what is best for him not me.

    Anway, thanks for letting me go on and on like that in your thread. I just know what you are going through, it breaks your heart but at the same time you just want them to have everything they deserve.

    We know you've only got your animals' best interest at heart. Caged animals really are more difficult. Its tough to find time for my rats sometimes because they need to be watched like toddlers. Perhaps you have a safe room you can let the rabbits have time in, like a bathroom? Invest in a playpen of sorts?

    Hey Alicia! I'm really sorry to hear that you may have to rehome them. But as you said, its better to do what is in the best interests of the rabbits instead of yourself. And if you think they would be better off in a home that can give them the attention they need, then it is great that you are thinking of them and their needs.

    I know when I was told by my parents and also thinking that she could use a better home, I didn't jump right into it either, I still kept my Kishii and just thought "well if she is meant to have a better home, then someone will find me that is truely a great home for her." And lo and behold a guy from my church was interested in her and he has a lot of bunnies and doesn't work, he is at his house 24/7 with his bunnies. I was soooo happy to have found him as a home for her, cause now I know that she is being spoiled rotten.

    And now my life is alot easier and less of a hassle too because I don't have that big worry of making sure I give her enough attention or not. And now that parents are off my back But luckily I can go and see Kishii whenever I want

    I know that you will make the right decision.

    I will love you forever Bobo
