more news on my very new pet and companion

alt_hydraI spoke with Professor Brutka this afternoon about how to care for Tully.
He knew a lot about rabbits, and I was suprised by some of what he taught me.
Like rabbits really shouldn't have lettuce, and carrots should only be given as treats.
Instead I should feed Tully a special hay and some pellets, which Professor gave me some, and sometimes fruit or sweet potato or herbs but only as a treat.
I will also have to brush Tully's fur and clip his nails.
He will be a lot more work than Tina ever was, but much more fun, too!
Something else I learned is that Tully isn't white and brown spotted, like I thought, he's broken tort.
I'm not sure what broken tort means, but maybe a fancy way of saying white and brown spotted.
The rest of what I learnt is that a baby bunny is called a kit, and a boy bunny is a buck, bunnies can purr like cats, and they can also learn to go to the toilet indoors like a cat.
Because there are already many cats in Slytherin, Professor put a charm on Tully so that they will think he's a cat, too, because normally a cat might try to eat a bunny.
And then he gave me a hutch to keep under my bed, but said that I should let Tully get exercise outside of it, too.
Is it bad to be happy about my new pet when Auntie Lucretia died?
And also to be happy when Mummy is cross with Daddy for sending me Tully, and cross with me for wanting him, too?
I think I must have also learnt it is possible to be happy and sad at once.

Would you ask for someone, like your Professor or your parent, to help you?
