My 75 gallon 2nd hand special

Looking good! I love the zoas :)

Yeah, one of the things that concerns me about a bunny is the dogs. We have a Cairn Terrier (loves to "hunt", though he never actually catches anything) and a St. Bernard (BIG! If she didn't try to eat the bunny, she'd end up crushing it when she tried to play with it). I think we'll hold off on getting a bunny for a while lol
Whoa! That’s a huge difference in dog size! And honestly it would be the Cairn that would be of most concern. Hard to suppress that hunting drive, and being inside there are probably less places for a bunny to escape to.
We kinda got lucky with our dogs. One is an old man and just doesn’t care to chase very much, and the other when we got him as a puppy we had another rabbit so he’s grown up with rabbits, but this one is much more assertive than the other one we had.

No bunnies in this house. Two huskies if it issmall, moves and squeaks its fair game (Smaller than them) The exception most of the time our cats. They have made the huskies bleed.

Yeah, definitely no rabbits for you :eek: Love huskies for their personalities, but they definitely have a high prey drive!

Squeakers must die. Thats the mentality of our huskies.
 
Got some new sand added yesterday. I was going to reuse the sand I pulled out and just rip clean it, but I think I let it sit too long and things died off. It smelled like death even after a few rounds of washing ;Yuck Luckily I had a 30# bag of dry sand leftover from when I first set everything up. So I rinsed all that and put it in.
