dinnertime/breakfast time woes
Suppertime is such a performance sometimes. Why is it so hard to get kids to eat their supper? Last winter I started cooking all these fun meals out of these healthy living cookbooks. There was pasta, cheese, cooked spinach (I love spinach in foods), stir fries, fun burgers, etc. The kids would see a hint of green and spend the next twenty minutes moaning and choking it down. That's the older two. The younger two wouldn't even pretend to try. Eventually I kind of gave up and went back to the regular five dinners that I remake over and over and over and just made sure to serve them with salads and veggies. Jordan eats. Tennyson whines about not liking noodles, potatoes or vegetables but usually we can bully him into eating his dinner. Who doesn't like any side that goes with beef or chicken? Seriously? Not liking pasta? Or potatoes? Or rice unless it's floating in sweet and sour sauce? Good grief. I'm so glad that their pickiness is so individual to each child. Tha

but they are beasts to take care of. they love to hump everything in site, first of all, and they will procreate like- well- rabbits. so even if you get one the chances are that if you get a girl one? she might already be pregnant by her brother or her dad. we learned this lesson the hard way a few times at the nature center I used to work at, we were always taking litters of rabbits from people who bought rabbits from breeders and pet stores! so make sure you get an older rabbit that you can get fixed or that you are sure is a boy.
also, they poop A LOT and their poop attracts other rodents and even bigger animals to your yard because it smells kinda good (don't tell anyone I said that) and other animals eat it.
and they bite faster than something like a cat would. because they are, after all, cute rats. and if they get mites or fleas or or or the kids get them too if they are allowed to hold the bunny.
they can overheat really easily, and cook if the sun hits them
I would say if you get one, keep it indoors if you can, or even in the garage if that's an option.
we used to have indoor rabbits growing up, and they were litter trained. they can't control their poop (no sphincter!) but they can control their pee.
I'm not sure what the right answer is, but I've found rabbits to be a nightmare!
