I'll be picking up a female runner duck later today. The lady I'm picking her up from is giving her away for free after losing her other duck saying she only wants her to go to a good home.
I'll post pictures after she settles in.

hi friends!! i finally found my nail clippers and trimmed the guinea pigs' nails. With the way Knish was screaming, you'd think I fully quicked every nail! Dramatic little potato /aff

Can any of you identify this rooster? I can't tell what bantam breed or mix it is

I'd assume some sort of rosecomb bantam mix

Thanks.
Also your reply made me realize I didn't make an actual post. I thought I did but I guess the coffee hasn't kicked in yet lol.

How's everyone feeling lately? Hope things are better than what they were the previous week.

Not much of a correlation, but here's a popular Greek song that's been replaying in my head all day

. Hopefully it takes your mind off of anything negative for a moment

Jeez.... what a day.

I got back from scotland/up north on Wednesday night, I have this sinking feeling that my rabbit, Bonnie, needs to move inside. I felt like her quality of life isn't good enough anymore and that her enclosure is not ideal. Keep in mind she's 3 years old, and my childhood rabbit trauma was my rabbits never living past 3. So I've started being really anxious about Bonnie's wellbeing.

I tell my mum I want Bonnie to live inside at least over winter, out of the damp and cold. She said no, absolutely wouldn't budge. Which I guess is fair enough because when I rescued Bonnie I had assured my parents she would not live indoors, its their house at the end of the day. But this feeling didn't go away and I persisted in my concern today, feeling still that something is off about Bonnie being outside. The answer was still no, she's fine outside.

I go to the back door to go trim her nails and clean her hutch, look up and see her tug herself through a gap in the pen wire- and suddenly she's free.

This is not a rabbit that likes people, she is suddenly free in the large garden, the dogs could get her, the neighbours cat would go after her, she could slip under the neighbours fence if I try to catch her, they have a dog in their garden too.
Absolute terror, I sprinted and thank God my bf was close by and also rushed out, we managed to corner and grab her by some miracle.

I was literally shaking, if I had waited a few minute longer she would've been gone. I am not over reacting when I say she would've been dead had we not seen her at that moment just as she escaped. I was there by some miracle at the exact moment she squeezed out. This rabbit chewed through metal wire, she must've weakened it while I was up north and today it snapped.
Anyway I marched straight to my mother and insisted, she's coming inside, that's the end of it. I will never trust her outside again. I didn't want her out for another cold damp winter with only a few hours of daylight out of her hutch etc, but this is the cherry on the cake. Bizarre timing of all this. Utterly bizarre, what are the odds?

Shes currently in bunny jail (locked in her hutch as thats the only safe place right now) but I'm going to go pick up an indoor pen now and she's coming inside tomorrow...

Oh I'm so glad this ended well, I was worried the entire time she was loose! And hurray she gets to be an inside rabbit now!

i ended up not getting mcr tickets bc I wan't willing to spend more than $100 on the ticket itself (before fees and whatever). I'm a little disappointed, but this does mean more money to put towards Les Mis tickets when the North American tour comes here...!
