Rabbits are keen on the homosexual love . Interspecies not a problem either. We looked after a friend's guinea pig and rabbit (both male).while said friends were on holiday. The rabbit was buggering the poor guinea pig so vigourously and frequently that the guinea pig was going bald with stress.

We seperated them, and the guinea pig perked up no end! Bunny didn't really notice he was gone and proceeded to roger his seed bowl on a regular basis Confused.

Abs

I feel your pain. Must have been a most unpleasant experience.

I would have been gargling mouthwash and spitting for days. Also carting round a huge plant spray filled wirth acid to 'get' any subsequent flying rats that I saw !

Scrambled Oh, OK, I'll let you off then !

Still gross. Why would anyone want the dead skin of anything ?

ScrambledSmegs · 11/08/2011 22:12

mrsdonkey, because when you're 10 it's awesome! Just ask a passing 10 year old Grin.

mrsdonkeybucket · 11/08/2011 22:15

No, it's dirty and wrong.

You DO NOT touch dead skin.

Dirty people you know ! Grin

ScrambledSmegs · 11/08/2011 22:21

If it makes it any better it wasn't off a dead snake, it just sloughed it off when it outgew it.

mrsdonkeybucket · 11/08/2011 22:24

Nope, no better ! I know how snakes shed !!

(I'm no' a ficko, I'm no') Grin

ScrambledSmegs · 11/08/2011 22:34

You are right mrsdonkey. I am ashamed of my digustingness.

Joolyjoolyjoo · 11/08/2011 22:36

Aw scrambled, one of my dad's friends in the US showed me a rattle from a rattlesnake once when I was 9, and I thought it was "well cool" I'll bet a 10 yo me would have been duly impressed by your snakeskin!

ScrambledSmegs · 11/08/2011 22:52

'Fank you :).

SuePurblybilt · 11/08/2011 22:59

I don't have a snakeskin (but I'd like one if it was a British species for school) but I do have a little crunchy collection of eggshells and skulls and bits of creatures that DD finds, tufts of bloody fur and the like. I try to steer her away from roadkill but she did once try to rescue a beak from a very flat blackbird. That's probably more disgusting that you ScrambledSmegs, don't worry. Grin

Offers Wine

Only havin' a larf ! Smile

madamelupino you have traumatised me in ways I cannot describe. I'll call Injury Lawyers 4 U when I wake up 2morro and u can xpekt a rit.

abs london pigeons suffer from a distressing condition called bumblefoot which is a recognised avian podiatry disease ranging from the loss of toes to the torching of your nest by people who once read the News Of The World with their tongues poking out of the side of their mouths and thought you was a peedo.

Most of those people now tweet @Sky News.

ScrambledSmegs · 11/08/2011 23:10

Thanks for the wine and cuddle mrsdonkey.

Sue, your DD's collection sounds like art. Surely she will be the next Tracey Emin?

SuePurblybilt · 11/08/2011 23:14

No, she is a ghoul Grin. Obsessed with creatures in a very scientific way.
Actually, maybe Damien Hirst?

mrsdonkeybucket · 11/08/2011 23:17

She could be looking after Mum very well when she's older then, Sue ? Smile

Is ghoulish though !

I am resurrecting this thread with the lovely news of an otter resurgence (sp?).

here

I can't remember if we decided that they were fluffy or velvety but the hand holding ones were very cute and I thought you'd all like to know.
