| Post subject: Small animal show? |
 |
|
i was wondering whether anyone can do a small animal show, you know with like judges etc and have 1st 2nd and 3rd prizes.. as im really interested in doing one in my area, i would also have a rabbit show jumping contest which would show owners off rabbits there at no means least boring.. i think it would really be enjoyed by rabbits and their owners and of course owners off Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, degus, chinchillas, mice , rats etc.. ____________

Have you got any further with this?
There is an awfull lot of organisation needed to run even a small pet show, but good luck to you if you do one. I am sure it would be great fun |

Don't want to put a downer to this, but there was talk of this on another forum when someone else suggested it, and it was agreed that because the animals would be pets only, they wouldn't be used to the travelling or experience and would therefore get very stressed. I know pet rabbits really don;t travel well as even going to the vets is bad enough for many.
Also, just my personal opinion, but currently theres been prolific VHD and myxi going around, and the myxi jab is not very efficient and at least one rescue has had to go into quarantine as at least a dozen vaccinated buns are suffering from myxi! So that would have to be considered, as it only takes one infected rabbit.....
I'm not so sure about other species though.  |

My passion in life is animals, and always has been, I know basically every breed of dog and am pretty good at guessing horse breeds as well. I just absorb anything animal, and I've been on pet forums since 2004, so have picked up stuff on all sorts of pets.....wish I could do the same absorption in maths and science though!  |

science is cool, i love science and biology has stuff about animals in it so your probably good wid that lol..
and i havent got any further wid response to the small animal show as i cant find a judge and need sponsors and no ones willing to sponsor me as they have sponsorsed someone before and the didnt get much publicity as it was only small or something like that anyway.. havent asked many places anyway just in my local pet shops.. and i dont think i will be able to do it as i have reasearched and it will cost a fortune for me to do.. so it not going to be going ahead.
i will try again though once i find out more in a couple years time.. as i used to take my rabbits to rabbit shows and i would love to get back into it but as most of them are neutered i cant really go and thats why i wanted to do one anyway so people with neautered rabbits can go,.. the last one i went to which was years ago binky won 1st and best in show and i was so proud.. and my sister was supposed to be in the local newspaper but she never did but i still have the picture though and binky looks so small.. have to try and put on here or i,ll take a pic of the pic lol
and gerbilpunk i think im very far away from you as im in birkenhead.. ____________
