Bunny = banjaxed.

I called this afternoon, as part of my bun-acquisition homework, to find out whether my apartment management's policies considered a bunny to be more like a guinea pig or more like a cat. (I mean, I know they're more like cats and dogs in terms of family interaction, but the policy position makes a difference for the pet deposit required, etc.)

Turns out, bunnies are verboten -- as are guinea pigs and other pets not in the Top Four (dogs, cats, birds, fish). ::iz sad::

SHIT. Well. Glad I asked before I got too much further down the road. I'll have to let the girls know right away...before they get their hopes too much higher. In the short term, perhaps I can "sponsor" the fostering or adoption of bunny and generally keep learning. The pressure will be ON to consider adopting a doggie. Yargh.

I'm so sorry your apartment has such a short-sighted position on rabbits.

If there's anything I can do, please let me know. Including having you sponsor Sam. *WEG*

Honestly, helping to sponsor Sam (or another bunny) is something I'd wanted to ask you about. Our local House Rabbit Society has a sponsorship program, but they're not exactly responsive...I've emailed a few different times and nobody has followed up with me. Not exactly donor-centric, there, though I understand it's about the bunniez and not about me. Anyway. I'll dash you an email. How's that?

Sounds great, I'm sure Sam would appreciate knowing he's got a sponsor mum out there.

Honestly, I think your allergies just dodged a major, self-inflicted bullet there. :-)

I was covered in bunnies at Wayside Waifs a few weeks ago and didn't really have a problem. I suspect it's the pine bedding that gives me problems more than the bunny fur. (shrug) Moot point anyway. :)

That's a thought--the bedding. I do okay with pine, but cedar about kills me.

That's what the House Rabbit Society folks suggested as the likeliest factor, since their experience indicated very little crossover from cat allergies to bunny allergies. A good note for the future.

Hey -- if I don't get to talk to you before you leave: HAVE A GREAT TIME this weekend!
