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

Today we went to the shelter and dropped Roxy off the lady there said she would try and work with her but they think its something in her brain thats making her agressive. I phoned a few bunny rescues and they said its VERY uncommon for a rabbit to be like that espescially (sp?) after it is spayed. Being animal lovers like yourselves I hope you understand why I did this. It wasnt because I didnt want her anymore but because I love her . I want her to be happy not misserable all her life and end up with no human contact it wouldnt be fair for her. The lady at the shelter said I have to look at the life tong terms for her and how she will feel. She was getting worse and worse. I'm not posting this to get yelled at or what not but to inform you guys on what happened. If things dont work out with her and the lady she will be layed to rest but its whats best for her.

On a lighter note as most of you have seen probly is my new siggy with Teddy in it, I know people are different and I'm just that type of person who cant be without another animal especially rabbits. And dont think I got rid of Roxy just because I wanted a new bunny because that is not true at all. Anyways he is the bunny from the shelter the Lionhead mix and hes the sweetest thing. The guy at the shelter said it was fait because hes had kind of mean rabbits go within a days and this sweet guy was there for a month!He is not by any means agressive , it feels so weird to actually be abel to put my hand in the cage without being attacked. And he actually comes up and jumps on me and only me he wont jump onto anyone else. He's got some litter issues but we are working on it.He also has to be nutered(sp?) I have some pictures aswell to share.




This is what he dose all day when hes not being hyper and mauling his mom...



thats all

Wow, I am surprised how the shelter can just let you exchange a pet like that.

I wonder if they will have a ¨two for the price of one¨ sale anytime soon.

[Catty1]

If the people at the shelter are caring people, they will try to work with Roxy and see what can be figured out. Heck, humans sometimes get this way because of a brain tumour, you never know.

Hopefully the shelter folks are professionals, and will consult others on the matter.

Roxy was just not the bunny for you. Your new baby is cute!

Thank you catty for understanding where I'm coming from.And I didnt exchange my pet! See this is where you guys are going wrong and I knew someone would say it. Like I said I didnt start this to be yelled at or to start a fight but to simply let you guys know wha happened!And no it wasnt just cage agression after seeing Teddy and how he was like it pointed out to me that Roxy wasnt just like ti ouside of her cage it was out too I couldnt walk past her cage without being lundged at and I coundt walk past her even when she was out.

[Catty1]

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.

I just don't understand Roxy was ONLY cage aggresive, right? Its saddening to me that you went and got a 'nice' bunny and totally gave up Roxy

[Karen]

Well, I hope they can help Roxy.

I moved this into Pet General, where it should be.

[buttercup132]

Thanks Karen I wondered where it went. I just want to say something. I was Roxys mom you guys didnt own her you werent in my situation and I know deep down what was best for her.

[carole]

I am certainly not going to attack you , but i have to say I am very disappointed you chose this option and so quickly, IMO it would have been better to have been a little more patient and tryed harder to work with her, I hope you are right that the shelter will work with her, because no healthy animal should be destroyed at least until every last possible option has been explored,I am saddened by your choice, but you are the one who has to live with it not me.

[Catty1]

Just remember - BC is 15, and her younger sister got hurt too. I've heard from a couple of people in the family, and it was a heartbreaking decision. At least another shelter bunny got a home.

At first I thought this whole situation was a attention getter, but if it isn't then this is just sick. IMO, this is absolutely disgusting. I can't even begin to understand why the shelter offered you another rabbit.
