My Dad says no rabbits - really he thinks so?

Oh my mom was like that with many of my pets too growing up and such. I managed to always convince her with some of the cats and one bird (which she 'accidentally' killed the bird by leaving a window open near it. Poor thing got a bad illness from the draft--it wasn't a healthy bird either to begin with though either, it was born crippled, etc. but was a nut, screaming at itself in the mirror all the time and biting your hand if you reach in the cage. I took it from the pet store my brother worked as a driver at cause he said the other birds were picking on it). I have a feeling you will get your way. I don't know if a bunny pooping all over the place will give off a bad odor, but gerbils and hamster pee certainly does smell bad in the cages on the cedar chips my brother used to use for his long ago if they are not changed daily. I had to end up cleaning them more often than he did and they weren't even my pet. Rabbits can become litter trained like cats too you are right. Remember though, no lettuce.

Good thing your dad doesn't enforce what he says or you would have to get rid of them. We can't have any pets in the house, so Rosie has to live outside now. Rosie always had accidents in the other house. I would walk her .. or she would walk me.. and then she would come in and poop. She used our kitchen floor as a toilet all the time. I am soooo glad she isn't in the house anymore. She is happier outside. Her brother is coming tonight and the big kennel will come on Wednesday and S will put it up and put both dogs and their dog houses in it.

Hello 911 Ricki, I think he should have put the rabbit in a small controlled area where the animal can limitedly pooped. I agree that compare to cats, rabbits poop don't stank that much because i had wide experience in handling and throwing cat poops. maybe i should have a rabbit as a pet instead of a cat. seems cat are useless to me and they're not even allowed inside to handle the rat problem. though they have when they were saw a few rats outside the house, they're not allowed inside.

Well, i bet your father could not do anything once you bring home a cute rabbit. Yes they can be trained and they are enjoyable to be with inside the house. We had a pet rabbit once and we just let him go around the house but we don't allow him to go out because he is hard to bring back inside the house because he run and hide in the bushes. We schedule his feeding but we put him first inside his cage so that he will not scatter his litter around the house after eating. Besides,when he poo it can be easily picked up by a trash pan because it is dry like raisins.

I think he said that because he was drinking. Although he might not have remembered whatever comments he made, i think whatever he said about not wanting the rabbit is really what he meant deep in his heart. When he is of sound mind, he does not want to tell you his real feeling. I hope you can convince him though.

Hopefully he won't remember the night, but if he does I always went by the old adage "out of site out of mind". My mom told me I couldn't have a ferret when I as in high school, so what did I do? I went and adopted one, but and because my mom never went into my room that much she never noticed her there. I built half of my closet into a cage for her, using a giant bird cage, so she had lots of room to run around when I was at school and when I came home I would just close my door and let her out to run. Normally Snowball slept on my dresser right by my head at night. When my mom did find out, she couldn't say anything to me because my room didn't 'stink of ferret' like she thought it would, and Snowball was completely box trained, and leash trained. I paid for all of her food, vet bills and toys. So basically I think you should be fine, as long as you don't flaunt it in front of your father, or make him pay for anything for it.
