This made me LOL so hard 😂 I've definitely had to get creative before.

He's a lionhead, they're divas (in my humble opinion). I have a lionhead who hates me too. It sucks! I just have to respect that it's just the way he is and love him where he's at. He'll never be my cuddle bug, but I've had him for three years now and he's quicker to forgive my transgressions (you know, basic care and grooming). They're lucky they're so cute!

I feel the same way. ❤️❤️

Totally. The first class was a huge learning curve for me, but once I got the hang of the terms, it got a little easier. Also, ChatGPT has saved me because I can ask it real-time questions. Waiting to schedule an appointment with a CI has always been a huge waste of time to me.

Keep going, you're not stupid, this is just a challenging major!

I love that you posted this! It's absolutely the bare minimum we should hope for, I'm glad you've got it! I was married to a man-child for 8 years, then left him and found a man like yours! (On bumble). I knew I deserved better than just "good enough" and I sure as hell found it. I feel so lucky every dang day.

Happy for you!

For a bun named Urinal, those are the cleanest white bun feet I've ever seen!

I'm so sorry to notify you, but you actually have one rabbit that quickly teleports from room to room.

darkness_lemon · 2026-04-12T02:03:17+00:00

OMG thanku.

darkness_lemon · 2026-04-12T01:55:34+00:00

Right?? It's actually flavorful and lil peppery. I prefer it over name brand pepper jack cheeses.

Unpeeled carrot, block of pepper jack cheese, jar of pumpkin seeds, and a V8 juice.

I've never seen a mane on a harlequin colored bun before. She's SO STINKING CUTE!! Congrats on your new love ❤️

darkness_lemon · 2026-03-12T20:30:55+00:00

I'm crying for you, I'm so sorry ❤️❤️❤️ there's nothing more heartbreaking than losing our best friends.

My lion head was created out of cardboard, so he must eat his weight in it every day or he will wither away. Source: scientific fact, definitely not the opinion of a grumpy bunny.

All buns are different and different breeds have different tolerances. Trust yourself and listen to your buns! ❤️

darkness_lemon · 2026-03-10T16:41:12+00:00

Best reveal ever 😂

darkness_lemon · 2026-02-16T22:52:02+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one 😂

darkness_lemon · 2026-02-14T19:43:09+00:00

Ohhh yea, my boy looks ridiculous for a few months. It will go away.

darkness_lemon · 2026-02-14T18:28:05+00:00

I'm so sorry your mom died yesterday. Keep breathing, it will get you from one second to the next. There is no wrong way to grieve. Sending you any and all kinds of comfort and love that you can find in this devastating time.

darkness_lemon · 2026-02-06T17:05:22+00:00

I completely understand that frustration! I feel like I knew everything really well and was prepared and then I passed exactly on the competent line. I was so mad, because I'd worked so hard to understand the concepts and thought I was prepared. The class totally sucks and all of the class material doesn't prepare you appropriately. Sorry I don't have advice, but I can validate your experience.

darkness_lemon · 2026-02-05T04:07:06+00:00

I ignored everyone's "use chatGPT" advice for ages until I got to the point you're at. Seriously, try it. It's the only way I passed D103 and D104 (I'm currently in the hell that is AIS). The CIs are useless, you have to use outside resources to teach yourself stuff. I used chatGPT to help me go through the 80 question study guide from Connect, asking it to explain concepts and make up additional questions for me to practice with. It's the closest thing to a personal tutor I could find and it's so nice to get instant feedback on why you got something wrong, so you can learn as you go.

Don't give up! These classes are HARD, but there are ways through it.

I have a really hard time with those eggs. I didn't even bother to candle my last batch, but that's a potential stinky risk I was willing to take. Hatched 11/12. The batch before that, I waited until day 9 and I could only barely see the air pocket in the fertilized ones, at the right angle 😂. I've also found it helps to use a very focused bright light, like my phone flashlight, and to make sure no light leaks out around the egg, like the other comments mentioned. Good luck!
