Fireworks and buns

clarebear · Oct 30, 2011

Poor Bungee was frightened by some fireworks earlier....she ran upstairs in the hutch and hid in the bedroom

I opened up the top to make sure she was okay and I couldn't see her.....she had hidden herself under all the hay. Picked her up for a cuddle and brought her indoors, and she calmed down. I don't suppose she has ever heard a firework before. Bramble just carried on eating his veggies!

I wish people would only set them off on November 5th, or maybe just over that weekend.

i've bought chinese lanterns this year - i think they're safer than fireworks
we've had fireworks going off here tonight, they're a pain :evil: but my buns are ok so far thank goodness

My buns seem ok...they have gone into their bedroom in the hutch when the fireworks have been going off but they seem ok thankfully

Hope bungee is ok x

Careful with them...we had one land in mt garden a couple of weeks ago ans set fire to a plant. If I hadnt of been in, it would have set fire to the decking and then the house:shock: It was quite a fire once it got going:shock:

it was very windy and raining when it came in our garden but it was so scary. I didnt notice it at first...hence the roasted tomato bush but fortunately one of the dogs went mad and we looked outside:shock: I'm a miserable git though and hate fireworks too

:lol:

We haven't had any fireworks yet, but I expect they will start shortly. Last year was our first bonfire night with a rabbit, Roxy was living outside and we brought her indoors to try and prevent her from being scared. She never went back out

We never have fireworks at home, not only because of the buns, but fire terrifies me and I worry about the safety aspect. I wish fireworks were only available to properly organised displays.

I agree, fireworks should only be allowed at organised displays, and just for one weekend. I hate them for the buns sake

i hate them, one of my dogs is terrified and though the buns seemed ok last year i still worry over them.

last year at a park near work there was a big display and the following morning on the way to work was a mangled dead fox with 2 smaller ones which had been moved to the roadside.
they must have been terrified for them to run for it like that.

I hate fireworks.....or maybe I should say I hate the way they're sold and used by irresponsible people.

I also have to say that I think chinese lanterns should maybe be banned as apart from causing fires, they can cause injury to animals. Especially farm animals out in the fields. I have disentangled the remains of these lanterns from many a bush on the nearby farm

How close are you to the nearest airport? They say they are dangerous to air craft too, and could even bring down a plane, also dangerous to animals if they land in their field

I've never had an animal be bothered by them before but Milly was petfieid last night, she didn't eat for hours because if them going off

clarebear · Oct 31, 2011

Poor bunnies....Bungee seems fine tonight, despite just being visited by three little girls dressed as witches! Shame they sell fireworks to the public, and don't just stick with displays.....saying that I used to love it when my Dad did fireworks in the back garden as a kid. Just feel bad for all the frightened animals now.

I think fireworks should be banned, so awful for the animals. Hope everyone is bringing their bunnies in!
