10/03 - Totally Technical Tuesday!

I'll take a Herman Miller.

 

I'm not sure yet. We found it several days ago, and it's going to the vet tomorrow morning to see what's what. So far he's/she's been pretty good about the litter box; minus one accident on the floor, and one on my bed (gasp!). I'm guessing it's either pretty young and untrained, or an unneutered male based on the bed thing. We shall see!

(Also, yes we are indeed looking for the previous owners and contacting shelters and whanot; but so far it's looking like someone just didn't want a rabbit anymore and thought setting it free was a good idea.)

Like I said I worked for Steelcase so I am partial to them but I was never a fan of the Aeron, although they are comfortable the material on the back eats cloths and I've seen the fray fairly quickly.

 

Been forgetting to spam this.. whoops:

Have you voted for our September HIT Poster of the Month award? If not please do so here!

 

@SoonerChris this is directly from the Steelcase Store and HermanMiller both are amazing if you are worried about ergonomics. The problem is to the average consumer the cost is way too high, buying used is almost the only way to go.

 

Don't trust this man! Read the fine print before you vote!

 

I have a dog, and the fur gets into the original wheels. So I replaced them with roller blade wheels. Fairly cheap and easy to do. Smoother and much more quiet too.

Can you do any tricks with it?

 

It depends on how drunk you are.

 

It's almost impossible to fully litter box train a male rabbit who isn't neutered just because they like to mark. Other than that, rabbits like to do their business in the same area for the most part because of cleanliness sake. Do you have hay in the litter box? Because of their prey nature, they like to eat and do their thang at the same time, so they will chow down hay while doing their bidness.

And fuck those people who ditched their rabbit, you're good people bro! Also, word of advice, rabbits have a blind spot naturally and if you get in their blind spot and accidentally scare them they may charge you in a panic. I once scared the literal piss out of Bugs before he was used to me (the second day or so I owned him) and he panicked, charged me, scratched the fuck out of my ankle (they have claws as sharp at cats), and for some reason I jumped on the couch thinking that would stop him, yeah no. A lot of folks don't litter box train them either, but it honestly made the experience a lot more fulfilling for me because I liked not having to leave him in a cage constantly. Once he was trained, he lived in the spare room if we weren't home and then was allowed to roam the house if we were.

Once he got used to me, he wouldn't lose his mind if he didn't see me coming, but it's still good to make sure your rabbit knows you're creeping around because they have very sensitive little hearts. Also, nail trimming is a big thing with house buns, as their claws constantly grow! I'm trying to think of useful rabbit info, and I know there is another person on the forum who owns rabbits but can't remember who that is.

I loved owning a bunny rabbit, he played hide and seek with me, I would dangle a little stuffed animal on a string and he would charge it, I collected stacks of newspapers and magazines so he could happily tear them up, he was a good little companion when I was in college and the first pet I ever had!

 

I have a high backed cloth covered office chair.
