TeddyBear CondoBunnyIn regards to chew toys, I like telephone books, books in general, wood, seagrass mats, and hay. Brown bags are fun, too.
Did you know that hay comes in all flavors? Alfalfa is the best. Oat hay is really good, too. Timothy will do in a pinch, but that Orchard grass isn’t tasty at all.
Lettuce, celery, brussel sprouts, carrots, broccoli, and especially bananas are all good.
Beware of the monster. Mama takes the vacuum out of the closet. Doesn’t she know better? A sleeping monster is better than a loud one making lots of noise. It just might eat me. This is bad.
At desperate times like this HIDE.
Can bunnies be litter box trained? Mama gets this question all the time. Why would anyone doubt this?
One time I was in the bedroom in mid-run and realized I needed to pee. I did a 180 turn and ran to the litter box. I made it just in time. Good thing I am a fast runner.

Mama was sitting on the couch eating ice cream. She didn’t offer me any. Can you believe that? I knew that she must have forgotten to offer me some. So, I jumped up on the couch and got on mama’s lap. She was talking nice to me until I stuck my nose in her dish and tried to get the ice cream. Rocky road. Yum. It smelled so good. Why won’t mama’s share the good stuff?

When mama is not home I have to go into my cage. This isn’t as bad as is seems. It is my hide-a-way and no one can get me.
There is a comfy blanket for me to lay on and plenty of room to stretch. I’ve got a bowl of water attached to the cage. I try to turn it over but it won’t budge. So I bite it to show it who is boss. That would be me.
There is a food bowl with pellets – yummy – plus mama puts in newspaper for me to chew and play with.
Mama tried to get me to eat Fiesta Mix with dried fruit in it. That dried fruit was nasty. I ignored it and then mama learned that that stuff can kill bunnies. She should always listen to me.
Mama thinks that I nap all day. She doesn’t know that I’m constantly on alert for any strange noises or disturbances. She knows that when I go on alert that something is up. Does she think that I just check these things out once in a while? No way. I am always listening for security purposes. In fact, even when I am napping, I am more alert than mama .
You’d think that anyone that provides all this service should get more food and more petting. Mama are you listening?

Top: Who is that tough looking dude in the back? Mama says it’s just the mirror. Whatever. He better get out of my territory or else. I’ll have to show him that I’m top bun around here.
The moose next to me is my friend. I nudge him but he just sits there. He is okay. So, he can stay.
The amenities are pretty good around here. I have litter boxes around the condo for ME to use. Seagrass mats like the one I’m sitting on are very tasty. Mama put red tissue around the desk leg, so that I wouldn’t chew on it. Mamas. I just chew above the tissue.
Middle: That’s me again next to one of the litter boxes in the living room.
Bottom: I’m outside the pen and the t.v. is inside the pen! That’s exactly as it should be. Mama says that it’s to protect the t.v. wires. Who’s going to hurt them? They are tasty little things.
Mama goes off to work and has fun while I have to stay home alone. Well, I don’t want to go anywhere, but she should stay home and take care of me more. Lots more.
When she is at home, she doesn’t pet me enough. Sometimes she’s reading or something and I have to get her attention. I found that chewing on the big wood toys furniture gets me attention.
Mama comes running and tells me not to do it. I give her my sad face and I get rubbed.
Sometimes it’s difficult training a bunny slave mama. Okay bunny slave is the correct term. Even if I am under a piece of furniture she should contort her body to rub me.
