Rabbit Trauma

Ok, so really all of you will probably either laugh at me or just think our family is full of mean abusive animal haters but this post means a lot to me and I'm just really distraught right now and I'm not sure of what to do. We bought Jumper last April at the petstore and he has become a pretty important part of our family. I'm sure you've all had one animal who has touched your heart and made you really happy at one point or another. Well, yesterday I was holding him and as I went to put him back in his cage he literally flipped out and had a seizure/stroke whatever you want to call it. He's always made loud noises in his cage running around but never like this. I was pretty concerned when his neck was totally out of wack and he just looked like he was going to die. I kept an eye on him and then let him out again to see if he could walk. He had about 3 more of these attacks and now he can barely walk or eat. I talked to James and asked him if he noticed anything wrong with Jumper and he said it was because "anoynomous" threw him down the stairs because it was cool. I'm leaving this name "anoynomous" because it hurts me to know that one of my children would actually do something so hiddious and hurtful. I'm just at a loss of what to do because I hate to see Jumper suffer. I talked to a girl at work and she said that this "anonomous" person learned this from cartoons and since Bugs Bunny can bounce up and down stairs or be thrown into walls I am officially going to start limiting what my children can and can not watch. I would rather just take the whole tv away but that is how I can actually get stuff done around here. I guess if you know of any activities that the kids can do without TV I would love your advice. Just so I can get stuff done around the house and not have them learning how to torture animals... I think that was well said...
