That's good, the better half showed some more interest in Aspen today and when told the goal of helping get her more used to humans, volunteered to be sure and come sit in her room to read or what not as much as he can.

No, I'll try my hardest to get her used to me and hopefully better equipped for a new family but I'm pretty sure this one won't be a foster fail.

She's explored the Reading Room a bit today. Still unsure about her surroundings. Two of my cats are fascinated by her but are behaving themselves and she doesn't mind them. So far the the only critter in the house she continues to be dismayed by are humans, lol. Haven't subjected her to the...

Here are some better pics now that she's settled in a bit. She briefly "met" the dogs while in her travel cage, let them sniff it. She didn't seem to mind that. I blocked off a fair chunk of her crate with a sheet and gave her a box, so she could have some privacy if she wanted but she's been...

Introducing Aspen. She is a 1 year old lionhead mix from a hoarding situation. She was very skittish around humans but has been warming up greatly for the rescue, so they wanted her in a foster home now to get more human attention and used to a household. Sorry, the pictures are crummy.

Yeah, I really want to be a foster for kittens or puppies, I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so it would actually be easier for me to take bottle babies than many other people but my husband says no for that very reason. I don't think I'd have a huge problem loving them and then...

Well, I've been talking to the localish rabbit rescue and have decided to foster for them. They have a really great program, supply an enclosure and supplies and pay for any medical expenses for their fosters. Be a great way to help them out and try out caring for a rabbit before committing a...

Ugh, 28 inches wide, I can actually count.

The panels I've about decided on are 14" x 14" x 14" and seem extra sturdy. Did some math and measuring today and looks like I can do two panels wide, 24 inches, by 6 panels high, 84 inches, by 6 panels long, 84 inches. Almost could have done 7 panels long but that's 3 inches too far unfortunately.

Yeah. I've decided on the shelving units to buy and have a general layout and how to go about it in mind but I'm having a hard time picturing hinges (most use zip ties for that?) and latches for making doors. I'm a very visual learner and can't find good pictures online to look at.

Can I see some pictures on how the doors for these type of cages are setup?

So, the area I'm thinking of making a bunny's has room for a hutch, which I'll need to secure the rabbit in because of my other animals, at least until I know how everyone gets along. There is room for a pen/run around the cage that it will have access to at least part of the day. Because a fair...

Yay!!! Good thoughts for the little guy.

Definitely feeling the same way.

Ugh, some people. Sounds like progress though, hopefully you will get him soon and not have to deal with crazy lady again!

I'd attempt to catch him if you've got rescues that will take him/her. One domestic rabbit is probably not a huge issue but it generally is a bad thing for domestic anything to be released into the wild, ecologically, and removing even one that doesn't belong there can only help.

Ah! You've got a corn! One of my favorite species. I've got 18 corns. Very nice looking snake! Thanks, I checked out that link, it was helpful.

Two of my cats I think will be fine, they don't really seem to have much prey drive and one is fat and lazy. The youngest one has a fair amount of prey drive and I wouldn't want to tempt her too much. The 4th one is actually the most accepting of other animals cat but he likes to play with them...

So, random stream of thought for today. This is why I like a lot of lead time to think about things before getting totally new to me critters ... Initially, I was thinking of getting a nice looking, closest thing to furniture type hutch I could find that rabbit would stay in overnight and...

Approx high high do the smaller breeds of rabbits typically jump?
