Screaming Giants

[BlueGiants]

I have avery sweetFlemish girl whose name was Princess (don't ask!) and she constantly "talks". Grunts, squeals, huffs, moans and purrs, everytime you handle her. I swear she mutters under her breath! Not being nasty or mean, just vocal... a certain judge at a show called her "Oprah" when he took her out of the box 'cause she was muttering away at him...said she had an opinion that she just had to share... and I'm afraid the name stuck. She is very pretty and a big hit with visitors.

I have a few Mini Rex that let me know they have something to say... but I enjoy it. Makes me laugh and smile. At least I know everything is OK with them as long as they are talking...

How interesting RexyRex. I have never had that experience either. But then I have two veterinarians- one is a rabbit specialist that came out here from Delaware and the other is a veterinarian and an ARBA rabbit judge.

So maybe they hire techs that know how to handle rabbits. Personally, I would never take my rabbit to a vet who hired techs who did NOT know how to handle rabbits.

I think it is very important for rabbit owners to search and search until they findveterinarians who really do know rabbits.

My vet is very knowledgable with rabbits, but she's that office's only specialist. She even asked me if that tech could come in because she was training her. My vet's office sees ALL animals, but my vet mainly deals with only rabbits. The poor tech felt awful but she didn't hurt him. Perhaps Gixxer should not have been that tech's first client since he is very skiddish....but, how can someone become more knowledgable if no one lets them try
