stressed out

Bet you wonder what this is about?
My wife cant live without her rabbit,i ts become very dear to the both of us
The thought of leaving it in the uk is tearing us apart,any idea how we can get it shipped safely because she likes to cuddle up to it at night, and im sure it to,would miss all the attention it gets. Not sure i could leave it with the mother in law ( if you know what i mean ) and if she;s not getting attention of the rabbit , she might want more of me
PLEASE HELP john

Put the rabbit in the stew; it's one animal you can't import into Australia. Time to fall in love with a dog or a cat I think.

Ahem, I think many of us know EXACTLY what this is about.
Have you done a search on rabbits? It has been discussed before.

Rabbits like to hibernate during the shipping process so perhaps your wife has a pair of long boots that would offer a safe and comfortable voyage for your dear friend.

Failing that, although rabbits aren't indigneous to Australia, they are widely available (I beleive they were introduced from Taiwan). Many people consider them a pest but I can't see what the fuss is about

LOL after having atended the 'Swifts' adult party I have to query what kind of rabbit we are talking abou here ?


If its the kind shown at the www.adultshop.com.au party then lucky MIL

Nice to know you also appreciate the rabbit

My advice is - You'll just have to be more focused to take you wife's mind off 'cuddling' the rabbit

leedslad

You could create a bomb scare when your container starts to buzzzzz :scared: .......i'd kill it first lol

They were introduced from Britain on the First Fleet. I can't see what the fuss is either; nothing some baits, traps and the odd round from a .22 won't help out with.

leedslad

think you're missing the point some what! lol

i do agree that they need to be culled tho before us men become redundant as hunters

Peter

I'm not missing the point, I'm having some fun.

Wow, didn't even know batteries had been invented back then

There would be a hell of alot of Aussie farmers and environmentalists who wished someone said no to the Pom that asked that question 200 years ago.

I put my rabbit to pasture when I left the Uk and have got a new one,(was a little afraid of it being caught in my baggage) if they sell rabbits in the small town I live in I'm sure you will have no problem getting a new one on arrival.

If you find it difficult getting a new one here then I suggest this site

Everything I have read says you can't take rabbits (real - non battery) out there so what's the point of being able to buy them there.

My girls are really upset about leaving "Snowy" and "Lily" behind - I have told them they can't take them. Going to be well popular when we get there and they see rabbits for sale

JayDeee

I'm really sorry about Snowy and Lily but Mr Love Machine (definately battery powered) is doing just fine out here

Just out of interest, how long do rabbits live - no answers of until the batteries die please.

Thanks for all the replies
decided to take the poor little worn out thing with us in a box.
But have a number of questions

Do you think it will be safe and ok?
will customs inspect, spray,and wash it on entering
will they treat it gently
will they have to quarantine it ( not much life expectency left )

If all else fails, will have to leave it with mother in law.would love to see if she would treet it as kindly as my wife. im sure if she loved our little pet as much as us ,it would maybe put a smile on her face once in a while
must go, the wife is home
bye for now john
