we were told by our vet (twice) that they were both female - so imagine our suprise when Pepper had kittens!

We had rabbit kittens they were called Snowy, Milou, Bambi, Mini Me, Inky, and Scoopy (they had such silly names as we werent going to keep them - Snowy and Milou were white - (Milou is Tintins dogs french name - Snowy is the English version and as we couldnt tell them apart we though it best they had the same name) Bambi was a little fawn (get it!) Mini Me was identical to her Mum Inky was jet black (we kept him but he died last Christmas) and Scoopy had a eye infection and we took him to the vet in a soft scoop ice cream tub LOL

We got kinsley a few months back and was told at the pet shop that he was deffo a boy!!! Got a shock three weeks later when i went into his cage to find 6 babies sitting there!!!! She must have been put in with boys at the pet shop and got pregnant and no one noticed so we only kept one and thats lupin

My youngest would love pets, he is allergic to rodents and I hate cats - I am petrified of them. Plus as I work and everyone is out all day it wouldn't be fair to have a dog. To be honest I am not keen on the idea of taking dogs for walks in the rain and dark etc. I know that the novelty would wear off quickly for the kids and it would be left to me and my husband...

I've got 2 guinea pigs - Dick & Dom

My eldest is allergic to cat and dog hair but is fine with the guineas!! The only downside is my hayfever to I have to wear a face mask and gloves when cleaning em, which looks hilarious. But they're really sweet and talk to me !!

I can just imagine you all "suited up" to clean out Dick and Dom :) I am glad that ours arn't allergic to the cats - with 2 uncles (my borther and my hubbys brother) both alleric to cats and dogs we did think we might have a problem

Its a funny picture - thats for sure!! :rotfl:

The other great thing about them is that they don't bit, guineas generally don't, so they are really safe for my youngest to handle. They love nothing more than snuggling into you and are so cute.

When I had rabbits in the past, they used to "buck" etc and it made me nervous to handle them, but the boys just come over to you as if to say "go on, give a hug"!! :wub:

this is the first lot of rabbits we have ever had - they seem fairly atypical and are really cosy and friendly. although when they go to the big hutch in the sky i dont think that we will get any more for a while

Same here with the guineas. But their life expectancy is about 7 years so got a fair while to go yet. Strange to think youngest will be 10 by then!!!

we were told to only expect 3 years from the rabbits but they are 4 now (although the baby one died at just over 3) Hope we will have the pair for a while more :)
