Yes, they. I have four bunnies. The reason they have the bunny binky room is because of my 3 dogs, a lab, border collie and beagle. Two hunters and one herder. ;)

That is so nice! You are a good Mama! :D Most rabbits just jump around and poo .BTW why does the poo look like their feed?

We should send wabbits on the long space trips, like to Mars and Pluto. Bugs, watch out! You may get to meet Marvin for real.

Because bunnies eat their own poo ;)
Yep, they digest it twice.

Perfect!

New Mel Brooks movie: Bunnies to the Stars!

By the time they get there and back, the radio says "Err, What's up, Doc?"

It's actually very healthy, not only for them. Our dog (when I was younger) used to follow our rabbit around eating it's poo. I was disgusted! We mentioned it to our vet and he told us that it's actually very healthy, the it will help the dog with his digestion as well.

Brody absolutely LOVES bunny poo.
If I clean out Doras cage and forget to put the bag in the bin you can guarantee there will be poo and kitty litter all through the house :rolleyes:

This is a serious and overlooked problem. Owning a pet should be something that is planned and giving pets as prizes can lead to neglect and animals ending up in shelters. This practice should be banned, I would suggest sending letters to local government if this is going on where you live.

It's a US show, I'm not in the US. Still, I don't think it's right, and I will be writing an email to the producers of the show and see where that leads.

I agree Earl, this is a really bad idea, for many reasons. The only ones suffering here are the dogs.

Do it Alty, just like I did with that breeder.
You might not get anywhere but it makes you feel a heck of a lot better knowing you tried.

I tried but it just keeps saying 'invalid e-mail address' even though it's my proper one.

thisisit · Feb 9, 2010, 08:08 PM

Drats, I hope you can try again. It allowed me to submit my complaint. Do you have an alternate email address? I had to fill out several questions about the program before I got to the final page where I was able to type in and submit my complaint.

shazamataz · Feb 10, 2010, 03:58 AM

I'll set up a gmail account and try that way... maybe it just doesn't like hotmail.
I'll definitely do it though.

Thanks for the link Thisisit. I'll definitely submit my complaint. :)

thisisit · Feb 10, 2010, 12:26 PM

You're welcome. I hope more people submit complaints. Giving away puppies (or any other live animal) to pageant winners is just plain wrong. You can't take home a puppy and keep it on a shelf or in a show case.
