how's about rabbits? I drafted and helped Rob construct a bunny hutch and we freecycled some rabbits and now have a trade partner for other rabbits (not the freecycle person) I'll attach pictures later.
I have another questin that I cannot find the answer for...what if soem of the badge submissions are things you have been doing forever already. One cannot go to the beginning and start over, so how does one obtain badges in that respect. I have a few I'd like to submit but I'm not sure how I should do it. HELP!!!

Tasha-
Thanks for the great ideas about badges for other animals. The badges are still on their maiden voyage so to speak so we are working on getting all the kinks worked out. MaryJane has decided to update the badges only twice a year so as to not confuse people about which requirements to work towards.
As far as things that you have been doing forever- for example I know you use all sustainable and eco-friendly cleaners- So for the going Green badge you can check off the requirement to get rid of bad cleaners- I am sure that is already done. Then all you need to do is write up an actual mission statement, put your recipes into a journal to share with friends or chapters that you might be a part of, and give a gift basket of green cleaners to someone moving in to your community or to a friend who has yet to convert their house to green cleaning.
If you have already done all of that since joining the sisterhood, then you could submit your write-up of it to get your badge.
If there are other badges that might be giving you difficulty because you have already been doing something forever, perhaps we can brainstorm together a way to go above and beyond.
One really great example a farmgirl who was already a quilter just received her beginner's badge because she had never tried the crazy quilt quilting technique before- so she was a "beginner" in that technique. Her project turned out great, too!
