Esme has a tidying compulsion...

Bunny Buddy

Wise Old Thumper
I feed Esme a handful of pellets every evening and I've realised that every evening I have to remove half a willow ball (sometimes two halves of willow balls) from her dish, at first I just thought they'd strayed in there, but I've realised she must put them in there.

She's behind me as I sit at the computer and she had her pellets about an hour ago. I just heard a kind of clinking (like willow on ceramic!) and I wondered if she was moving her willow balls..... I slowly turned to watch her and she was putting the second half of willow ball into her dish :lol::lol:

I've absolutely no idea why she does this but it's really amused/facinated me as to what's making her tick. :love::love: She always moves her Chube if I put it in a different place too (it must take a fair bit of manoeuvring under the shelf where she likes it to be).

Ain't they funny but amazing creatures? :love::love:

I remembered I have a picture of her with the willow ball in dish :lol:

:love::love: Can we swap?? Mine have an untidying compulsion!! Cleaned, hoovered and cleared them out tonight and it looks like its never been done :roll:
 
I have one like that too. No matter how I put things, she has to rearrange and get things just so. She's one of a threesome (and the boss too, wouldn't you know).
 
I think some rabbits are 'tidyers' & others make messes, just like humans. My late bun Tensing RIP was one for tidying. He was driven mad by his slinky & its refusal to conform!
 
Awwwwww, Esme is gorgeous even when she's pretending to be dead. :shock: :love::love:

She obviously likes things 'just so'. :lol::lol:
 
Mine do that! I'm not sure who it is, I suspect Mini. It's almost like, look, our bowl is empty, fill it up. :lol:

Definitely not swapping her :love::love::lol:

Hopefully I'll be bonding her with Artie soon and he's the untidiest there is, so I'm sure he will drive her mad

It's a facinating habit. I've wondered if I should get her one of those boards with square and round pegs to see if she can master it :lol: She is definitely intelligent.
