Actually, if you keep your screening strict, like this: You must have the adopter's number and address, frequent updates, plus, you can visit the rabbit. I tell you, you'll be able to screen out the bad eggs quite easily lor. Cos I think that's how HRSS screens their adopters also. And their procedures are very strict. They'll visit the adopter's home first even, to see if it's suitable for a rabbit. So, you can do it too. You just tell them you want to see their homes, cos that's where your baby is gonna stay. Then most of the fake adopters will disappear. If you find their homes not suitable, then you reject. It's as simple as that. lolz Have confidence in yourself. You must in order to find good homes for your babies.

Sigh.... the problem is I am very mountain turtle one, secretly tell you, this is my second forum I went in (1st one is furrieshaven) to chat one. Before that I never step into this type of forum..... so, decided to stop posting already, can't bear the responsibility if I have wrongly rehomed them - "putting the goats into tiger's mouth" then I die die lah. Whoever got my babies from me, I must have their contact no. and at least know where they live, the house condition....."geh geh" walk around the house see whether they got many many bunnies or not....Maybe I am too ngiao but please forgive me, I am their grandma.... Having so many bunnies is really no joke,the amount of time & $$ that is going to be spend on them is going to be tremendous too.The 1st Forum u went to owns by a petshop owner who sells livetsock,but they are doing fgood things so far....like adopting & rehoming their animals that was abandoned.....the 2nd forum u went to is a Pets Graveyard....that's Ghost town,hehehe....so u see that there are no livestock for sale & it's one of the 3 rules u saw.....violator will be thrown out or banned..... Almost all pets forums sells livestock....& be warn that some has even adopted not jus to sell & breed,but be fed to their "pets" which are carnivourous.... And when u are in pets forums long enuff,u'll soon realise there which are the good pple & which are the bad ones....it's afterall the owner's duty to make sure their pets go to good homes....& also,avoid rehoming to members of other forums that are "newbie" too..... And jus a note for everyone reading this thread....those who wish to rehome or adopt pets from Ghost Town are required to intro themselves & their pets at the intro section of Ghost Town 1st.It's part of the regulation or your post will be deleted off.....pls take note.

Very angry ..... received a call from one of the "adopter" yesterday.... she 1 2 return 2 babies back to me because her mum in law said fengsui not allowed pets at home !!! I have advised n warned her several times before she adopted my 2 babies whether she can committed herself to luv them forever, lots of promises and swearing during that time, and now 1 2 give up, I have to take back because she might abandon them in somewhere or just pass them to someone I don't know..... Gosh......horrible. maybe its all excuses. sigh....well,better she came back to you rather than jus abandoning or giving to someone else i guess. poor bunnies. :console:

nowadays rite, pple treat animals carelessly particularly becos of certain petshops and commercial breeders, never tell the pple correctly wat to do and expect, somemore their knowledge is sometimes wrong!! yah, some breeders claim to breed not for selling, some just try to defend themselves, look at SPF then can see liao, so many commercial breeders, though they have enough knowledge bout their rabbits and treat them well so wat?? if you want your mother to keep giving birth, and you give them good comfy life, still very hard on them rite?? then doesn the same theory applies to the mother bunny also? even if there's a good environment, it's still very hard on the mother bunny wat. then nowadays, more and more pple giving reasons like, oh im allergic t fur, my family allergic to fur, this and that.. can start top ten excuses for giving up bunnies liao lo yah, and the so-called 'adopters', everytime say will give them good home and everything, in the end is they either wanna get a cheap deal, or they just ask for fun. i think it's very rude to not reply someone when they ask questions.. got once i send this email to a person, cos she say she wanted one of my bunnies, then she nv reply, so i keep asking lo, but not even a reply, at least give a no also good rite?? :konk:: then got some pple, very scary, once your bunnies have babies, you are condemned.. haha i think i type too much, but basically my view of the situation. more pple should noe that b4 keeping pets, always make sure to have enuf knowlegde, best is have a book around. then maybe parents should stop pamperin their kids by buying them every pet they like, sometimes walk around pet shops see kids saying they want this want that, always very scared

Anyway, I am not in a hurry to rehome them, just that I found it's unfair for my babies 'cause I only have few hours (that is after work) on weekdays and 1.5 days weekends I can play with them. I have to divide my limited hours for 29 babies for them to share my TLC. Can't trust the maid 'cause don't think they are animal lover - even can asked me why human like her need to serve animals ?? Of course I will bring them back (still want me to transport them back from her home !! maybe she will ask me to take-over the babies food & stuff ! Do u think I will pay them ?) I still can accommodate them at my home, wish to sterilize them all but will cost me a BOOM !!! Dunno whether can get BIG discount when send to Dr Ling clinic ?? Anyone can give me no. to call ??

bunnylover > namly no. is 6469 4744. it's very common to find adopters who end up back out. i hate such adopters too. waste of time. but at least the buns come back to u and not some cruel cold blooded 'pet lovers'.
learn from mistakes and recognize such type of ppl. i've met those who say a lot, make themselves sound very nice and wonderful but end up dun want to get. if not, get liao then buns are not in good living condition.
make sure u see their existing pets. see the condition of the bunnies.

Bubbles>Thanks for taking up your precious time to write such a detailed explanation. I appreciate it.
To ALL>1st of all, for those who have a BIG question mark on WHY I have 29 bunnies at home, I would like to express my true-heart feeling on it.
I have unintentionally become a breeder for my bunnies (I hate to call myself breeder, ‘cause I M NOT! in fact, I am very much against breeding) Beginning, I owned 2 bunnies, they are boyboy (Catherine Rabbitson – the petshop owner and I have mistaken her sex) and girlgirl (Christina Rabbitson the 1st – my very first bunny, after her death, I named another lionhead after her name, that is my recent Christina Rabbitson the 2nd). I brought them home in October 2002 and Christina 1st passed away in the month of January 2003. Boyboy (Catherine) seemed very upset and she stopped eating and laying down there motionless. Every night I’ve to spend few hours talking to her and cuddle her and tell her story. I was so worried and decided to bring 3 buns in as companion to cheer her up. At 1st, they play and play and live happily together until 3 of them got pregnant. (wan chu huo liao) They started to fight each other and came out 3 groups of babies (7 + 4 + 3). I have separated them in 3 different zones. Christopher (dad) so used to live together with Catherine/Caroline/Christina, he refused to eat, drink, play and pretended himself want to die like that until I soften my heart to let them play for a while. They have not do anything in front me BUT - No one will believe me that my bunnies know how to use their head/nose to push open my sliding doors which I used to separate them between living hall n passage way n rooms. BUZZZZZ…. pregnant the 2nd time!! siao liao !! This round (3 + 7 + 9)!! FYI, 5 more came out last week – This time was the maid’s fault – she forgot to letch the door!! Christopher sneaked out from passage way and hmmm…… BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ again …… Thinking of sending all for sterilization and let them live together harmony in 1 big room.
I work in oil & gas field; sometimes need to travel for months. I am feeling very sorry for my bunnies ‘cause I have not enough time to care for them nowadays, cause just started new assignment and spending lots of time in office. I have a maid taking care of their living environment and meals etc, make sure they live in comfort area – until my maid complained that why a human like her have to serve animals? I can accommodate them for their entire whole life as long as I am still alive. NOW, the main reason why I want to re-home some of them is to let them have more LOVE from other bunnylovers. BUT I am very reluctant to do it now, after since I have heard some of the stories, the one who called are breeders or worst, the commercial breeders. As advised, I will screen thru’ the adopter’s particulars before I make a single wrong judgement. I will kill myself if I ever know my babies ended up with a miserable life with their adopter parents.
So, I welcome true animal lovers sending their request BUT PLEASE, if you intend to breed them for commercial or re-sell them, I am sorry. I will go all the way to get you; trust me, I have my way. I will become maniac when it’s concerned my babies.
Sorry for taken up your time to read this lengthy message, the message I want to pass on is - if you want to breed them for the sake of having some cute babies, think twice, whether you can accommodate them. If you can’t find them a good home in future, will you devote yourself to them? Their lives are on your hands. We have our human right and I think they deserved their animal rights too. I can say out loud that I will. I will devote myself wholeheartedly to them, whether they are adorable, ugly, naughty, sick, in-born disability etc etc, I will still love them, and now, ask yourself, will you?

Wa... Okie. Umm, the lady who adopted the 2 bunnies from you quite bad. Cos I mean, fengshui? That's real dumb lor. As for allergies, well, I happen to have asthma and also allergic to fur. But so what? I mean, if you love them, you just love them, and you just try to keep yourself healthy. But I think it's still possible to give your pets a good life. Like my Bunbun, whenever I groom her, I get fur all over my face and body. Sometimes even swallow it. But I have options ma, I can wear an N95 mask, still can groom her what. Or I just take cough medicine la. The point is, these are really not gd reasons lor.
I know this guy, he keeps a chinchilla. His wife got pregnant, dun want the chin around. He's really heartbroken. Quarrel with the wife and refuse to give up the chin. He asked around, gathering info abt fur, and kids allergies to fur, etc. The chin community gave him lots of advice and info lor. So he compiled it all, present to his wife. Plus he alwiz keep the place very clean and the cage, so that the chin's fur won't float abt the place. Somemore, only 1 chin! So after that they compromise, and the wife accepted it. Just that he must be careful, dun let their baby near the chin, until he is much older lor. I mean, compromise is alwiz possible lor. Unless like, your wife or mum threatens to throw you out of the house and let you roam the streets, then something is seriously wrong.
Wa! You work in oil or gas field? Whoo, I might want to work in that industry next time. Heard that they pay well (but I dunno how true it is). Bunnylover, think your msg is quite loud and clear lor. Dun worry, just stick to your strict screening, shld be ok. It's just too bad abt that lady and the fengshui thing. Quite stupid actually. Downright weird. lolz Serious, I never heard such things b4. If my mum were to tell me to get rid of my pets cos of fengshui, I'd laugh in her face. After that then start screaming at her. It's a really odd reason.
