AIBU to think that bunnies are fluffy but not velvety?

[ClaireDeLoon]

:o a place to hide from extreme opinions and comtemplate fluffy things like bunnies and kittens.

Timpson - I have no idea! I guess maybe they were at a petting zoo or something?

@ the idea of baby animals on riot police shields.

God, if we'd only got together before the riots we'd have been able to do something.

OH THE FUTILITY

i think a cheetah's 'call' is rather pathetic for such a killing machine too

Scrambled, I have a lionhead cross..they make amazing (although slightly skittish) pets!

My DH has said no to a goat, a ferret, pigs, chickens and a llama. Although we live in a two bed flat atm, so a llama is probably slightly ambitious.

I wanted goats, and donkeys.

I thought it would be a good way to keep the grass down.

But to no avail. DH says no.

Git.

You wait till I win the lottery.

donkeys aren't velvety though are they?

when if i win the lottery, i'll buy you some, mrsdonkey

When I win the lottery the first thing I'm going to do is punch Jeremy Kyle and the second thing will be to buy some guinea pigs.

Ferrets don't half whiff though!

at mrsdonkeybucket and Awomancalledhorse. I only ever had lops, had no idea lionheads even existed.

I will buy one. I will call him Leroy. Even if he's female.

I want chickens, but DH is scared of them. Says they're dinosaurs or summat .

Bear, get a giant rabbit & tell DP it's a tiny shetland pony.

Job done.

Donkey, I'd love a donkey too, but their faces always look so sad that I'd invite into the dining room at dinner, so he felt happier.

Shirley, when I win the lottery could I pay you to punch Jeremy Kyle on my behalf? He's going to America to film a show over there, so there's a holiday in it for you too!

Awoman, I currently want kittens, a baby lynx, penguins and a couple of baby meerkats, and live in a one bed flat. Two bed is luxurious! (sent an email to DP today with the pet shopping list and said "I think we might need to look at properties with a garden. And a pool - i don't want the penguin living in the bath")

Meerkats! Yes!!!

story about the multicoloured chicks - apparently they put a harmless dye into the eggs. The colour doesn't last long though, so you'd be disappointed if you bought a bright pink one then a few weeks later it was just ordinary chicken-coloured!

Bear, I can see where the LL was coming from, fish are renowned for chewing skirting boards & tearing up carpets.
Although they usually only do it when they can blame it on another pet, like a dog.

Penguins are lovely! Plus with the whole pregnant waddle thing I've got, I won't feel as self-concious. Will ask DH when he gets home (whenever that will happen)!

Awoman - I would do it for free TBH.

I have read this thread and have a few comments/ observations

1. If any of you (god forbid) do have the urge to make love with a guinea pig, be aware that they make the oddest (and slightly unnnerving!) noises throughout!

1. My friend has a pond, and says that frogs also indulge in gang rape/ orgy behaviour, often cumulatiing with the poor female drowning And frogs are definitely slippery.

1. Rex rabbits are oh-so velvety, and in fact are the only thing more velvety than a beagle puppy's ears. And they (rex rabbits) have the most adorable curly whiskers

1. Am upset to hear about the malicious behaviour of dolphins. feel a bit let down by them now. I bet they have been jeering at porpoises for years and knocking their glasses off, because they're not so popular

1. My nurse has an angora rabbit- far far cuter and fluffier than a lionhead so there.

What is the name of the breed of chickens that look like they're wearing fluffy legwarmers?

Google can't work it on based on the above question

We visited here, the penguin sanctuary bit (we didn't go swimming with them unfortunately). next time ...

Aww, AuntieM Thank you !

I would have to have 2, as otherwise I would worry he would be lonely. Unless you also bought a huge plot of land to build me a lovely house with an extra bit for the donkey to visit.

NN is not relevant to donkeys at all ! Comes from a CBBC show.

'Big Babies'. "Donkey bucket" is used as an insult. DCs and I found it thoroughly amusing.

Scrambled. You just cannot call a female lionhead Leroy. How about Lucinda ?
