Please be careful!! Polyurethane fumes are VERY dangerous. Exposure to them can cause permanent damage. Unprotected long term exposure can even cause kidney failure. Never use it in doors. Use it outside with gloves and a gas mask and leave the clothes you wear outside for at least a day before bringing them back into your home. Do not let it have contact with your skin.

I see so many projects on so many blogs that use toxic dangerous chemicals like polyurethane and spray paint that offer no advice on how to stay safe while using them. NEVER use a product that produces fumes without a gas mask and gloves and safety goggles. Always read warning labels and aks a professional before using any products.

If you want to use spray paint in a project, be aware that spray paint has toluene, a dangerous chemical, that has particles so tiny they can enter your body through your tear ducts. Please be careful and never do projects like this indoors or around children or pets.

I have had a cage-free rabbits for five years in very nice apartments with much success and I think they make wonderful pets with some work. We just adopted a new baby and are in the process of training him. Rabbits should NOT be kept in cages. It is like keeping a cat in a cage. It also makes it very difficult to train them not to chew. Rabbits explore with their teeth, so if the space outside their cage is not very very familiar, they will destroy it. It also leads to obesity and poor social skills. Rabbit are as affectionate as puppies when raised properly. They love to cuddle and give kisses and will follow you around every where you go. They are very smart, come when you call and listen to you when you tell them no. They also are very good staying clean and using a litter box. It takes a lot of time and attention and sometimes a spray bottle to train a rabbit. They are in no way low-maintenance, but they make such great pets. I recommend getting a baby (no younger than 8 weeks) male, they will grow up to be the most affectionate. Good luck.
