[Gpdd] MISC: Sick mommies

[DFHAKES at aol.com]

Hello all,
 
I didn't see the original post but I wanted to warn everyone that we can  
catch a cold (rhinovirus) from our piggies and they can catch ours.   Rabbits are 
immune to our colds.
 
If you are sick, best to let someone else at home take care of the pigs for  
a couple of days.  If you are the only one at home, wash your hands  
frequently.
 
Regards,

"It doesn't matter what  the kids say. Rabbits are not disposable like a box 
of cereal or a Disney video.  They WILL get tired of the rabbits and go on to 
the next toy. YOU will have to  deal with the consequences. Unfortunately, 
most people deal with the situation  by DUMPING their rabbits on someone else. 
Ultimately, it is the bunny that pays  for your inability to say NO."
