That would keep their aggressiveness in check, and their spraying of pee too. <br /><br />Caring for rabbits isn't easy. I hope your family has the patience as they can be quite high maintenance. <br /><br />Do note that their behaviour can change as they reach adulthood, and remember to keep your house rabbit-proof. They are geniuses at destroying things sometimes. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-82013137310231787492012-09-28T15:50:16.906+08:002012-09-28T15:50:16.906+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.nulayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281015344056857527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-59422328949016362362012-09-22T13:37:32.508+08:002012-09-22T13:37:32.508+08:00hi mr wang, do find out more about neutering your ...hi mr wang, do find out more about neutering your rabbits.<br /><br />Unneutered male rabbits (or animals) that are not able to mate experience frustration, which can lead to aggression.JBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-4377550877350955022012-09-12T12:47:34.401+08:002012-09-12T12:47:34.401+08:00It may not be homosexuality.

Morals also clash with other morals.<br /><br />In some parts of the Middle East, for example, a thief will get his hands chopped off for his theft; and people who have sex outside marriage can get stoned to death. According to my personal sense of morality, stoning a person to death or chopping his hands off are faaaaaar more reprehensible and immoral than theft or extramarital sex itself.<br /><br />When someone says "Homosexuality is immoral", I have to ask myself - why does he say so? If the reason has got to do with, say, a tale of angels posing as men in two ancient cities eventually destroyed by an angry God, I have to ask myself - do I believe in angels; how do I know that these cities really existed; how can I truly know the motivations of that angry God, etc.<br /><br />If I cannot convince myself of the veracity of this story - well, others might be convinced, and that is up to them - but then it follows that I have no reason to be persuaded by their assertion that "Homosexuality is immoral".<br /><br />Gilbert Koh aka Mr Wanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027678080233274309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-65593847443032023452012-09-10T17:21:08.883+08:002012-09-10T17:21:08.883+08:00/// And to those who say that humans are not bound.../// And to those who say that humans are not bound by moral conduct...are you agreeing that a stranger can go to your home, mate with your daughter and you will allow him to walk away?

Humans have the ability to control urges, instincts, think rationally before they act, execute deep planning and executive functioning. We can't cross-breed and produce hybrid off-springs - something other species can do, thought their off-springs are mostly infertile. Moreover, we predict outcomes several steps ahead, control the environment we live in, make pets and use other species for our advantage - buffaloes, horses, even lions and elephants. <br /><br />Animals react instinctively to instincts and stimuli. They run from loud noises and bite when cornered. They eat when they're hungry, sleep when they're tired, and mate when they feel like mating.<br /><br />Call us a unique species, fair. But call us an animal, even if you push for that, I won't teach that to my children. <br /> <br />And to those who say that humans are not bound by moral conduct...are you agreeing that a stranger can go to your home, mate with your daughter and you will allow him to walk away?

Humans ARE animals, one particular species. <br /><br />Of course, we are different in many ways, from monkeys or penguins. Then again penguins are also different from monkeys in many ways. Actually come to think of it, penguins are more different from monkeys than humans are different from monkeys.<br /><br />Ahhh, whatever .... Anyway, there are gay monkeys, penguins and humans .... That is one common characteristic across all three species.<br /><br />The argument about morality I find quite suspicious. In many different animal species, you definitely do see behavior which we could describe moral values - such as love, courage, loyalty, kindness, responsibility, leadership etc. <br /><br />Just watch any wildlife documentary. Definitely you'll come across situations like penguins caring for their young; monkeys warning their family members of danger; elephants mourning the death of an old elephant; birds defending their babies against a snake; wolf pups being good friends with each other etc etc.<br /><br />What hasn't been documented yet is an animal getting ostracized and hated and attacked by its fellow animals, for being gay. <br /><br />That seems to be a uniquely human sort of behavior.
