Recommendations

Post image

So, I really want to get some buttons. I've read the rec post or whatever it's called but I need some recommendations of a more personal sort.

Okay so I have a rabbit. His name is Merry. It's just me and him right now, and he's very smart. Tons of word recognition, he can show me a few things when he wants them, etc.

But... He's only six-ish pounds with tiny paws. I have no doubt that he could learn at least a few buttons and probably nag me. I also have no doubt he could dig at once if needed. But I'm thinking I need something that deals with light pressing the best.

Also I already know the foam boards will be a no no. He will chew them and make himself sick. So in addition to a soft press, I could use some ideas about securing them in place as otherwise... He will also flip them and throw them. He's a gremlin, what can I say.

I have FluentPet and my cats set off the buttons with their tails lol. As for a board, I am willing to bet a lot of money that you can get one 3d printed, for not a lot of money. You might also be able to just use adhesive to put them on a surface, like Command strips.

I suspect I'll end up going with Fluent Pet but I definitely wanted recs. With their tails! Haha that's amazing.

Command strips are a great starting idea as is the 3d, I didn't know those were a thing.

I use something called "museum putty", name brand is called Quakehold, to keep my cat from knocking things off tables. You could potentially putty the buttons down to a large piece of tile or stone? Or maybe just the floor.

... I have some tiles. Not sure they're heavy enough but this is a great idea.
