Loopy- Thanks! When I was in 2nd grade we had a rabbit as a class pet. On Grandparents day when my Grandma and Grandpa came in to see the classroom I took them to see the rabbit and stuck my hand in the cage and it bit me, I just have this memory of pulling my bloody hand out of the cage and it kind of traumatized me.

It really wasn't that bad of an injury, but you bleed more out of the tip of your finger and I'm sure time and fear have distorted my memory a bit.
