quick question

[raine]

Is there any danger in putting chooks into a rabbit hutch? I am waitingfor chickens but the school rabbit needs homing over christmas and i thought i might stick her in the coop What do you think?

I dont know anything about chickens, but if anything goes wrong you will be for ever known as the Mum who got the bunny pecked! Wouldnt risk it personally

ps it was just bad luck that the haster died when I had it, honest

have you got no chickens now?? but you'll be getting some whilst you have the rabbit?? ....... if that's the case, i would let the rabbit have the chook house, till they arrive, then put it back in the cage, you can always put the rabbit cage in the chook run and llet it have a run round under supervision with the chooks, or after the chooks have gone to bed at night.

hamsters always seem to die when they go home for the holidays lol and funny, but the fish at my sons school always seemed to change colour and size too (mind you thats cos i kept putting them in my big tank, and they grew too big for the school one)

Blimey they were quick replies!
I have everything ready but now it doesn't look like i'll get chickens till the end of december and i only need to house the rabbit until just after christmas. You're quite right though, if anything happens to it my class would go nuts so i can just see me chasing around on boxing day looking for a similiar coloured bunny!

[lynda66]

in that case let the bunny have the run, she'll love it, i took mine out in the poly tunnel yesterday, she had a fab time
