We had a wild snow shoe hare given to us when it was hardly into the world and brought it along until it's old age sent him off to the big Rabbit Hutch in the sky. Hell he'd go wild around the house where he could do a 360 runway through a half dozen rooms before loosing it on the hardwood floor and come to a crashing calamity against the wall or my youngest daughter could grab him. However, it did do a fair amount of chewing on things around the house and I swore a few times, "I'm going to shoot that8&^$#%%@#@^*(())++)*&^%$ rabbit! However, it never happened. ted Grant islandnet.com/~tedgrant V8PWR@aol.com wrote: > Dans un courrier daté du 08/01/01 06:26:07 Paris, Madrid, summarex@yahoo.com > a écrit : > > << Hi Everyone > I have slightly OT problem. > My rabbit, a miniature floppy ear is allowed to roam the house > just like a cat or dog would.
