We found rabbits too much so my friend took them from us as she always wanted a rabbit but her parents had said no, her children pretty much ignored them as did ours. We waited until our kids were teens before we got a cat and dog,

Here, I pretend to mr husband that all the pets are for the children but they are actually for me ha ha. I’d have a mini zoo if I could. Maybe we should both charge an entrance fee 😉 #animaltales

My boys have to help feed and look after our animals as much as their long school day allows and more so in the holidays and I think it makes them better citizens because of it. A great post for #AnimalTales, thank you (cute rabbits too!)

We got our guinea pigs on the agreement that feeding and cleaning would be shared equally between the three kids and me. I don’t think either of the boys have once fed or cleaned them without being reminded. None of them would ever think to just put the guinea pigs in their run either. My daughter is better and her speciality is grooming – she regularly trims our long-haired guinea pig with what was once Daddy’s razor, but now belongs to the guinea pig!
