Question On Animals And Baby? Posted: 05-24-06 16:43pm
I still live with my parents and I got a
rabbit in the same room my baby will be
sleeping in and my mom will not let me
bring him down stairs because of cats and
my dog I was just wondering if its alright
to have the rabbit in the room when the
baby arrives as long as I keep him away
from her face and keep the cage changed?
Thanx

I think it would be fine, except once the
baby gets crawling as they *will* get in
to the cage and might eat the food or
droppings or who knows what. As well
might get bitten...Even by a generally
friendly bun.
You may want to talk to your mum about
bringing the cage down. We had a rabbit
and two cats and the bun ran lose at times
and they never fought once. The cats
learned quickly to stay away from the
bunny (who insisted on trying to procreate
with our cat).
If your rabbit spends most of it's time in
a wire cage then there's nothing to worry
about....Neither a cat or dog is going to
harass it.
They really don't recommend keeping
animals in kid's rooms.
Well see he is really attached to us and I
mean he's good with kids and I run the
sweeper in my room with that armorhammer
allergian stuff so it smells good theres
not a history of allergies towards animals
in my family!! He can't go anywhere else
upstairs cause my mom is the only other
room up there and are house is not the
biggest in the world thanx though
everyone!!
