Seriously, Folks - About Halloween

[Carolyn]

Please do be careful and safe-proof your rabbits if they are outside.

Halloween is coming, and unfortunately not all "tricks or treats" are nice.

Thanks for posting this Carolyn. I'vebeen thinking about all the animals that are outside a lot thismonth. When I managed a store, we always had really strictselling guidelines at this time of year.

I just wanted to reiterate to watch out for all animals.Bring any indoors that you can. That way, everyone can have asafe holiday.

Happy Halloween!!

Totally agree, Carolyn. Unfortunately, in theUK, we have Guy Fawkes (or Bonfire Night) just after on November 5th,when fireworks are let off. This seems to go on for weeks now, andevery year there are horror stories about what some 'people' do toanimals involving fireworks.

Please make sure all your animals are safe and sound!

This all sounds scary to me!!!

We don't do Halloween here (ok well some people do) There seem to bemore people getting involved and with all due respect I don't know whypeople here do it, it's a custom and time for Americans not Aussies.

Anyway that said , there are some people who enjoy it and that's great.Each to their own, but the whole lock up your animals thing scares me.

Heaven help anyone that tried hurting any of our indoor or outdoor babies!!!

Our Humane Society here will NOT adopt black cats in October. In November they ARE available for adoption.

Usually I walk my puppy twice a day, early in the AM and again at about10pm. Do you think it will be unsafe to walk on Monday nightfor us? :?

I'm very worried about bonfire night too. Someof the stories you hear makes you want to hunt down the people that dosuch things and then you want to scream and cry too. Its one of thethings that makes me get the most angry .

What does everyone in UK do for their buns on bonfire night? Justwondering about outdoor rabbits really. I always have brought them in.I can imagine it will be very frightening for them to be left outside.Have any of you left them out and how have they reacted?

I hate this time of year for my animals, it always worries me.

Last year, Pernod and Perry sat outside on thedecking and watched the fireworks:disgust:. However. most of them werein the distance. This year we have different neighbours, with an 11year old boy, so I don't think they will be going out - better safethan sorry!

This is also no joke -- Matthew and I were sitting on the couch, when he said, "I think I see a bat!".

Yep -- there's a big bat in the house. It flew into thebathroom, so I shut the door and locked it in there until hubby getshome LOL

We're going to the Mall for trick or treating this year.

• Nice safe environment
• Candy at each store
• Games for them to play
• Warm and Dry so my daughter will be comfy in her black cat costume
• Brightly lit

I'm thinking it's a winner all around!

When we have fireworks, it's only for one night.Not too many people have their own, as you need permits here.

Be safe and leave your outside lights on.

Rainbows!

Now that is something I would do LOL.

Once I had a spider on my curtain, I was so scared the first thing Ipicked up I sprayed it at it and well it didn't move until it could beremoved that afternoon (not by me obviously).

What I picked up was a can of hairspray LOL, must of stuck his feet right on the curtain.

[Bunnys_rule63]

Good post Carolyn!Also, it has beenmentioned above but just a reminder to our UK members about bonfirenight, fireworks caneasily scare outdoor bunnies so eithercover over their hutchor move them into an unused garage orshed if you can to muffle the sounds and stop them seeing the flashes.

 

[samixXx]

fireworks are banned here, which i think kind ofmakes it worse, kids get them brought over from the uk so from thestart of oct to nov they are setting them off everynight

i always get really worried about my rabbits and dogs this time of year
