It was helping with the general anxiety I got being around people, but right now I have some extreme anxiety to deal with because I just found a lump in my breast and have to go get an ultrasound.

I love rabbits. They are so cute. I was at the pet store several weeks ago and there was this bunny that just let me touch her/him.

> A friend of ours had rabbits that she housetrained. :) That amazes me. I can't even conceive of doing that with our rabbits.Wow, didn't know one can do that. Although, I did train Hammie to use his a litter box to pee in. :-) It made cleaning much easier for me. Sophie wasn't as bright...

Maybe...

Maybe it helps if you get them from a breeder though, rather than a pet store.Syrian hamsters (the normal type hamsters) usually like about 2-3 years. I think guinea pigs live about 5 years. I like guinea pigs too.
