Wise Old Thumper
My four-year old (roughly) house bun is currently getting over a bout of EC. She's been keen to get out of her cage the whole time she's been ill and I put old sheets over the varnished floorboards so she could walk on them, as she had little grip in her front paws and no movement in her back legs.
Now she's on the mend, I was hoping she'd be able to walk on the floor without the sheets. I picked them up to put them in the wash and she wouldn't come out of her cage. When she eventually did she was okay for a while then started slipping all over the place and made a mad dash for the cage. She's been about 2 feet out of the cage since then but not up to her usual exploring.
How does your bunny cope with flooring? She didn't really have a problem with it before so I'm wondering if it might be a confidence thing, or maybe she's had some muscle wastage from being ill and dosen't have the same grip. Anyone know if it will come back in time? I did try putting a rug down but she just chewed it, luckily she's not interested in sheets :lol:
