[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you and DH be open to a rabbit in an outdoor hutch?  They can easily be left for a couple of days, but can be a little more interactive for the kids than fish.[/quote]

Do NOT keep rabbits outside.  House rabbits are not made for this (they can’t even breed with wild rabbits, that’s how different they are).  Indoor only, and there is no way you can leave them for a few days without someone checking on them (they need to be fed!).[/quote]

This. Keeping rabbits outside is cruel and shortens their lives. They’re wonderful, and IMO easier than a dog, but definitely not zero maintenance - probably  more trouble than a cat, and you have to find a good exotic vet which is difficult. [/quote]

They smell awful and poop a considerable amount.  My friend has one, and it's hard/expensive to find a vet and they seem like they have a lot of health issues.  
We have fish and I think they are a huge pain.
Honestly, the only pets that I think are worth the time investment are cats and dogs.  I just take lots of allergy medicine.  It's easier than trying to deal with an exotic pet!  [/quote]
