Do you ever get that thing where people don't really understand the things you do for your buns?

My dad thought it would be a good idea to use some wasp killing foam around by the buns shed because there are several wasps about and look like they will build a nest. The spray cap flew off when he sprayed it so it went everywhere, all over the run and the lovely turf we have in the middle pale

I said I wasn't going to risk it, although I wiped it off I didn't want the little ones getting at the grass and getting very ill. The can didn't say toxic to animals, yet it didn't actually say it was safe, so why risk it?

Both mum and dad don't seem to understand why I'm so set on getting new turf. I only need one bit and it is £3... that's surely better than risking don't know how much in vet bills right? Or am I just being paranoid No

I would do exactly the same thing. for the sake of £3 its not worth the risk.

We recently needed to de-moss and weed our lawn, and although lots of the sprays / treatments said that the lawn would be animal safe in 4 weeks there was no way on this earth I was going to risk it so we did it all by hand.

I dont think people who dont have buns really understand how fragile they are.

When is she back from her honeymoon by the way? how is she doing?

My parents are just baffled at the fact that my rabbits don't have cages or hutches and get fed vegetables.

I wouldnt risk it either Wave I won't use cleaning products in the same room as any of my animals, I have to move them out first.

[b]I would have thought that by the fact it can kill wasps that it would certanly not do any good to bunns and would have done just the same.

They probably wouldn't spray it all around a baby's pram, so why risk your pets - especially for the sake of £3! On a purely economic perspective, £3 is much cheaper than the vet costs for a poisoned animal!

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the newly weds. Love
