The Old Bath House at Lover's Point.  Not officially in Monterey but
in Pacific Grove.

IMHO, the Bath House is more view than anything else but I've only
eaten there a couple of times, one of them Sunday brunch.

The Stuffed French Toast is not on the buffet.  It is available 7 days a
week, a la carte, at the normal restaurant at the Polynesian.  I ate at the
Polynesian's daily buffet last December and was not impressed with the
food.

If you want a real fancy place in Philadelphia to eat, I offer two
suggestions:

#1) Le Bec Fin, reputed to be the best French cuisine outside
France---and a reputation well earned.  Certainly the premiere 5*
place in Philly.  It is on Walnut, near 17th.  Dinner will run you
about $60 per person.  Lunch about $30.  Reserve early.

#2) Ristorante La Buca, an upscale Italian place where the local
"Businessmen" (if you know what I mean) eat.  It is own by a prominent
Philly lawyer who represents many of the locals.  Dinner will run you
about $30+.  Better eats than DiLulo's.

I'll be making a trip to New Mexixo next month and I'm interested in ideas 
and suggestions of where to eat.

I spent some time in Santa Fe some years ago and remember a couple of
good ones up there. This trip will be mostly spent in Albuquerque. I will
have a car so some travel is OK.

I have introduced rabbits to cats and cats to rabbits.  I have never
had a rabbit, though, that didn't like the cats.  Maybe Woody is
more touchy from being an only bunny so long.  My adult cats have
always accepted the addition of a bunny with little interest.  If
the bunny got too nosy, they would usually just move away (except
for my sweet BigKitty who would lick the bunny's ears).  When I got
a new kitten last fall, the kitten loved the bunny and vice versa.
They often played together in a strange inter-species way.  Nokie
the kitten would bop the bunny on the head with her paw and the 
bunny would run circles around the kitten.  Then they would rest
for a while side by side.  Now that Nokie is older, she only rarely
plays with the bunny.

My opinion on your questions are:  a bunny could hurt a kitten, but
I doubt it will happen.  If I were you, I would just keep an eye on 
things.  Kittens are pretty fast and can take a hint.  Woody is probably 
just laying out his territorial rights.

The cats will not hurt the bunny since they have grown up with him.
The only dangerous cat would be a largely outside cat who had hunted
large prey for food.  Any cats I have had have never shown any aggression 
to rabbits since they 1) are inside cats and 2) do not view an animal that 
large as prey.  They see the rabbit as just another household member.

>How are ferret's senses?

These answers are strictly MY observations ONLY, so you probably shouldn't
give too much weight to them.  (I have heard similar answers, but have never
read any studies on the issue, so can't give you an authoritative answer).

>How good of vision do they have?
Well, I guess it's kinda relative, but I don't think their vision is very
good, nor do I think ferrets rely on vision much.  Movement gets their
attention, they certainly can discriminate objects, but I don't notice much
observation of detail.  They do get around in the dark much better than I
do however, but perhaps not be eyesight.

>How well can they hear?
They seem to hear pretty well, but seem to have major problems deciding just
where the sound is coming from.  Calling them always gets their attention
(as does making a sound like a chocolate bar), but they seem to have not a
clue as to where the sound originates.

>Sense of smell?
Seems to be the best of the three to me.

To Michael:
 
  Well, much of what you say is good advice, but I don't think you got the
message about this particular bunny.  He USED to behave as you suggested,
ie. melting into a blob on the floor, going to the washroom very neetly,
running circles around my feet etc., but he doesn't anymore.  In addition, 
I perhaps gave the wrong impression about the manner in which he bites.  
Yes, he does bite when I reach into the cage, but he also bites when I get 
down on his level, be really calm, and calmly extend my hand to him.  He's got 
a bad attitude, and unlike most rabbits, when you do something he doesn't like,
he doesn't just nudge your hand forcefully and walk away, he bites it 
visciously.

As far as feeding and cleaning go, they get well treated, and they DO get
let out of the cage often, and for long stretches.  However, we're not
prepared to leave them unsupervised all day, especially since BOTH of them
still have that nasty bunny habbit of chewing things.

Nevertheless, thanks for your advice.  I DO want a happy bunny, but he's
a hard case.

Maybe I'm just worrying too much...

I posted a while back about my impending bunny -- an adoption from a friend
who can't take him to a new apartment. I've been doing some reading; I have
the House Rabbit Handbook <great!!>, and another general book on rabbits. I
think I'm ready for him to get here, but I still have a few practical 
questions:

Franky <a name he already has, and I guess I'll respect it> has been living 
almost exclusively on my friend's back porch. He's had free run of the deck, 
and short daily sessions in the house. What's the best way to ease him into a
full-time inside lifestyle? Would it be better to do it gradually, or could we
just bring him in and let him get used to it? It would be more of a nuisance 
to have him outside for now with longer and longer periods inside, but we'll
do it if that's the best way to go. Once we get him inside, how can we go about
training him so he can have free roam? We work, and don't want to have to 
confine him while we're gone. He'll need some housebreaking and the
requisite chew training, but how's the best and quickest way to do it? How do
we know when we can trust him? I hope to get a friend for him eventually, but
that's down the line a little, I expect. A new home and a new friend is 
probably a little much all at once, and we want to get used to having one 
around -- or are two easier? Anyway, I digress -- we don't want to keep him 
caged up for long periods, but we don't want a disaster, either. I'm pretty 
inexperienced at pets in general, but I don't expect him to
be some storybook perfect bunny -- I know it probably won't be total bliss, but
that's okay. I miss having non-humans around. :->

Oh, also, anybody have good ideas for building/obtaining an inexpensive-yet-
pleasant cage? We'll have a temporary arrangement, but it probably won't do 
for the long range.

Okay, so I'm excited!!! :->  And I want to be a really good bunny mommy. :->
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

(continued...)

If he doesn't seem dehydrated there isn't such an immediate cause for alarm.
(Ferrets dehydrate VERY quickly, so you always have to be careful when they
have eating/diarrhea problems!)  I would suggest isolating him, though, as
was previously suggested.  Measure his food and water, and give him clean
litter.  Measure the food and water the next day to get some measure of
his eating/drinking (if you use a bowl for water, remember to take into account
evaporation.).  And even more importantly, make sure he's using his litterbox,
and that it LOOKS NORMAL.  If he's not going at all, it's probably an 
intestinal blockage, and he MUST go to the vet immediately.  If he has
serious diarrhea, he should also go to the vet immediately (dehydration).

I would also suggest that you go out and get some laxative for him.  (Laxatone,
Petromalt, etc...)  Either from your vet or a pet supply store.  Go ahead and
give him about an inch.  If it isn't a blockage it certainly won't hurt, and
if it is, it could save his life.

Personally, I give my ferrets about 1/2 an inch once or twice a week.  Just
as a preventative.  (I use Laxatone)  Because I did have a ferret die of 
an intestinal blockage (my vet at the time thought that it was some sort
of bizarre "ferret thing" and didn't even diagnose it until the autopsy.
A simple laxative could have saved her life, but instead she died an absolutely
terrible, painful death.  --  Shows the importance of finding a good vet!!!)

Good luck!!!

that he was eating out of his bowl and had a healthy disposal.  Hes just
very skinny but hes been that was ever since I have had him, but compaired to
my other ferret which i think is a little fat hes really skinny.. Is thier
some kind of product that I can add some weight to him?  I havnt check for
dyhidration yet (sp) but no dirreaha. :)  ON the laxaton product I usually
give my ferrets about a inch every week to, since thier constantly getting in
to things..  

well I will check for dyhidration when i get home.. i hope is just that
hes a skinny ferrets..

also none of his playing habits have changed.. he seems to be the same old
super charged ferret....

I built a cage for my bunnies and it was cheap and easy to do. I
bought 7 wooden boards that were about 6" by 3' (that was the size
that was on sale). Three of the boards made up the floor, the other
four were used as walls (some sawing involved). I just nailed and
screwed everything together. I then wrapped chicken wire around the
frame in such a way that the cage now had high chicken wire walls. I
stapled the wire onto the wooden frame (just use those heavy staples
and a hammer), leaving one side free. This way, if the buns must stay
in the cage I just put them in and, using bread wrappers, connect the
free chicken wire "door" with the stapled side. Normally, I just leave
the "door" open so that they can get in and out at will. I line the
bottom of the cage with newspaper and hay. They are happy.

Jon:

  We have a similar problem with Minx (youngest/newest of 5 of the 
beasties).  She has been known to wheeze on occassion, although it's
never seemed to actually be harmfull or stressful to her.  This has
become noticable recently, and we suspect it's due to Spring and
all of the plants that begin to blossom and generate pollen this time
of year.

 What can you do?  Not much.  Keep the windows closed at night and keep
the house clean (vaccume regularly).  You MIGHT try talking to your
vet to see if some antibiotics might help, but be CAREFUL...we found out
that Minx is VERY allergic to them (they killed off all of her stomach 
bacteria and she lost 4 ounces in 24 hours!).  On the other hand, we
think Minx's health will always be somewhat fragile (she lost an eye
to a cigarette while she was a kit en route to the pet store).

  Good luck!

   We've had similar problems in the past, but we traced it to the 
amorous attentions of our FIXED male.  He managed to give each of the girls
bladder infections last spring; we're watching him closely this spring in
order to avoid this.
