Hey to get away from the dunking on, beet leaves? Are they safe for bunnies?

Also woe is me. The only vet willing to put up with Harriet's shenanigan* at my local vet office moved to loving Nunavut. Now i have to take Harriet about 15km away.



*(by that i meant the only small animal vet there. Harriet is a sweetheart to the vets)

The answer appears to be "yes, but rotate it out." There's a few more articles on it. Rabbit.org is always reliable, IDK about petsolino.

This is the third time you've pulled "if the rabbits die it's your fault" and nobody is buying it because this is something a child says during a tantrum. You are a truly pathetic little man.

You're actually taking me literally? lol. But get it through your thick loving skull that I might not take any of the good advice in this thread because you're an abusive bully who uses your laughable position of power and suspicious amount of free time (nice 48,000 posts, chap) to gaslight me and tell me to "seek help," something that I've already had to do in spades. Why do you think I wanted a dog? Why does my sister have six cats? Goddamn you are an insensitive rear end in a top hat.

Yossarian-22 posted:

Thanks for that good faith advice btw. Everyone else, you're (mostly) all assholes and extremely unhelpful.

Again, I just want to emphasize that none of my googling and none of your posts suggested that there was absolutely no way to home bunnies and dogs together (just terriers). The one post that had anything to say about other dogs said that labradors were among the "better breeds." If the dichotomy between "good" and "bad" breeds was as problematic as you're all suggesting it is, then maybe one of you should have refuted that post instead of letting it skirt by unnoticed. Because prior to this onslaught, I had no earthly idea that anyone here or anywhere else viewed bunny/dog cohabitation as a non-starter.

What's pathetic is that you all think that you're helping convince me to rehome my dog by being assholes instead of linking me to any good resources on the matter. So convince me. I've put up with all your bullshit, and yet here I am, waiting for you to link me any resources suggesting that bunnies and dogs (perhaps specifically mini-poodles) are completely irreconcilable critters. If such resources exist let me at 'em, and I'll gladly rehome one or the other.

So far, I've trained my dog to stop whining in the vicinity of the enclosure (on leash) and tried to slowly introduce the animals to each other (on leash). However, I'm still keeping both in separate rooms, and the dog in the bedroom and living room. I take the dog outside via the back entrance (away from the bunnies) and in encounters thus far, the buns seem relatively unfrightened. If it's unworkable, my girlfriend's parents have taken care of the bunnies in the past and would happily care for them over the summer.

But I'm clearly on trial here, and you all assumed I was an irresponsible dimwit for a simple dog rental to acclimate ourselves to dog ownership and to test my allergies, such that it derailed the thread and none aside from Electric Bugaloo has actually tried to engage with me at all. Sorry that I don't dot all my i's and cross my the t's for the cult of bunnies thread, but I didn't exactly get my phd in animal cohabitation.

So far you have all taken turns bashing me and my girlfriend and yet I'M STILL loving HERE. Any honest advice or resources other than "gently caress you" and "don't home them" with minimal explanation on prey drive and how it's bad would be really loving great! Otherwise, I really am done with this poo poo.

If you all honestly want to prevent an internet anon's bunnies from dying, then hit me with your best shots. Please. It happens that I'm in the same boat here, what with giving a poo poo about cute furry creatures and all.

gently caress you

Yossarian-22 posted:

Electric Bugaloo actually gave a specific, reasonable response to me that went into the nuance of poodles being hunting dogs. I specifically then googled "mini poodles prey drive." I ignored the poodle forums and got this as my first result http://www.easypetmd.com/doginfo/miniature-poodle

I quote: "The Miniature Poodle is quite an even tempered breed overall. They get along with most other pets and have never really been bred for game or varmint hunting, so they are usually alright around small animals as they do not have a high “Prey Drive”

There's a huge scarcity of information, I don't have the best idea of how to research this and so admittedly I'm feeling a bit of pause about my poodle/bun situation. I genuinely want answers, not admonishments. If anyone has them, or advice of any kind, great. If not, then I guess I'm done here.

If I'm a dumb guy, then help a dumb guy with facts and sources. Please

gently caress you

Don’t invoke me in your bullshit meltdown as though I’m the only one who gave you good advice- the same good advice that people in two different threads gave your stupid impulsive rear end.

Yeah, it looks like just not more than once a day. Every other day if you're giving her a lot? What you have to look for with oxalic acid is sediment in her urine, so just check her box and peeing behavior.

Sautee them with minced garlic and shallot, and butter or an oil of choice (not olive). You can also throw in diced tomato for a sweeter dish. I'm not a fan of beet greens but the rest of my family loves them. I think their earthy flavor should go best with beef. Maybe lamb meatballs?

I agree the guy is clearly a moron but he is rather obviously trying to get you in bother by pulling out the -ists and running off his own laundry list of poo poo he has "wrong" with him. And all this after he basically baited a bunch of people in this thread by asking for help and then going into detail about how he was going to completely ignore it.

I was actually seeking advice, but a tough-guy chad admin had to put me in my place and tell me to pull myself up by my own bootstraps like a good Republican alpha-male. Because if an abusive admin drives me away from such advice and then promptly says that the website I cited is always right then what I take away from this thread can't be anyone's fault but my own. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
