WOW i'd no idea how many were so awful for the buns and piggies :o :o :o :'( :'( :'( :'(

I wonder if this could be transfered as a 'sticky' it's got great info and would be brilliant for anyone in doubt well done love O0 :smitten: :smitten:

my piggies don't go outside as zoe just sits there saying you put me down you pick me up O0 and jessie just says see you and takes off like a bullet : : : it is a shame can't take some of jessies energy and put it into zoe and zoe's placidness into jessie : : : thanks for the list though as faline the bunny often goes outside with OH but she usually just eats the grass or dandies. another reason why the piggies don't go out on the lawn is because there is too many sour sobs mixed in the lawn which i have heard is fatal for piggies. as a kid i use to love chewing on them but :o :o :o this a long list wouldn't know those plants if they were staring me in the face. good for you and the research :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
