<p>thanks ebenezer!

5

<p>No, rabbits are allowed.</p>

<p>Here’s the policy:
Dogs , cats , ferrets , snakes , and venomous animals of any kind are strictly prohibited . Only small animals that live in cages (one per person) or aquariums are allowed. Prior and continued permission of the roommate or suite/apartment-mates is required. Pets must be properly cared for; appropriate disposal of waste materials is required. Pet-related waste must be placed in sealed trash bags and disposed of in the trash rooms, not the bathrooms, floor receptacles, or garbage chutes. Pets are subject to removal if a roommate or suite/apartment-mate is opposed to its presence or for any violation of this policy.</p>

<p>I have a 15 inch bearded dragon in a 40 gal tank for the past 3 years. I think it’s legal, but even if it wasn’t, my beardie isn’t going anywhere soon!</p>

<p>Lots of wildlife at UR. Adopt a hedgehog…</p>

<p>There are many pudgy wild groundhogs that you will find running around the campus. Befriending one would definitely fill the void left by the inability to bring a beloved pet from home. But I wouldn’t recommend getting too close!</p>
