Hello all :wave:
This morning I heard a number of squeaks coming from my rabbits' pen. They were definite squeaks, like a mouse, and there were about 10 of them. They weren't regular, so I don't think they were breathing sounds.
I couldn't tell which - if either - of the buns was doing it, just that it was coming from their pen. One bun was just sitting in the pen; the other was in her box. Neither was doing anything. When I moved closer they both went into their box (they're rescue buns we've had for about 6 weeks and are still VERY wary of people).
I sat very quietly for about 45 minutes watching them and listening (was late for work
) but I didn't hear anything else.
Was this likely to be one of the rabbits? They both had a check-up and their VHDs at the vet on Monday and had an all clear.
But last night I took delivery of a kilo of Western Timothy Hay (previously I only had a sample pack of it, so they'd get a small amount of that daily on top of their regular hay; now I've given them piles of it!) - could there have been mice in it?
It's the Oxbow stuff from TheHayExperts, and I'm keeping it in a closed cotton drawstring bag. I've checked the bag and there are no nibbled holes though!
Any thoughts?
