In and Out

Apologies for the dearth of updates. It's been a busy week...

Well, the bunnies are continuing to settle in well, and now completely trust their owners. They socialise well, hopping over to whoever enters their play area, no longer giving licks, and no longer becoming overly agitated when a human crawls into the cage to clean it or arrange the towel or litter tray.

Dijon's bites are now playful - they are sharp enough to elicit a yelp, but not so hard as to cause damage (draw blood!). He is happy to hop onto laps, scrabble clothing, and do cheeky bunny things without apprehension.

Mabel asserts herself well, and makes her needs known.

Both bunnies have learned their names and will return home to their cage without fuss when the bells are rung, and called with "Home time."

Well, this morning somehow Mabel broke through the barrier that keeps her and Dijon confined to their permitted play area. The barrier is two chicken wire frames, which allows the bunnies to see what is on the other side. They have shown some interest in the other side, but have never made a serious effort.

But Mabel slipped through. Fortunately, as it was accidental, she was a bit confused, and stood still trying to make sense of what she had done. In that moment of confusion, she was lifted swiftly back to the right side. She has not tried to repeat the escape. Yet.
