Eating things they should not...!

I want other people to reassure me they're paranoid bunny mummies also :lol:

Jack ate half an elastic band at the end of last week. I literally had to wrestle the other half from him. I spent the next 24 hours freaked out, waving hay in his face and obsessively counting poops to make sure he was doing them. He's actually been doing waaaay more poops with the extra hay (and he does them all behind the toilet, in the bathroom... but that's another story), so I'm guessing he's absolutely fine.

I had a pair once destroy a plastic bag I'd left too close to their run. They dragged it threw, demolished it, and I was telling myself - lying to myself - that all the torn bits of plastic bag were definitely all there and no way could they have eaten any. Pft. Not sure who I was fooling with that.

A past bunny of mine ate a mouthful of rhubarb leaf once. Just one mouthful, but even then I freaked. I sat down and burst into tears, convinced she was about to drop down dead on the spot. She didn't.

Barney hate a young ragwort leaf the first year I had him. There were about six 'rosettes' of them on the grass. He ate one leaf, I freaked, and spent the summer obsessively digging them up with a screwdriver. :roll: AND he likes to snip the heads off poppies. Not to eat, just to prune. He really dislikes poppy heads.

So what have your bunnies eaten that they should not have, and made you worry? Because I swear my family think I'm completely crazy.

Strawberry has eaten and survived to tell the tale;

carpet
half a door mat
lino flooring
toffee
a wine gum
a whole tea bag
pasta
plenty of paper

I dont worry anymore, once its eaten there isnt a lot you can do! We try and get things away from him but he is a nightmare!

along with much electrical wire (part of my washing machine wire in the last 10 minutes (thank god for insulating tape and thank god it still works!), mine love to pull bits of rug out and eat it like strands of spaghetti and Dumpling cost me just short of £50 at the vets a few weeks ago as he ate 2 of the carrots out of a pets at home carrot patch,which made him grumpy and constipated :roll:

Dillan was trying to munch through the foil wrapper from an eaten chocolate caramel egg earlier :shock: He's just a bin-raider!

My bun climbed onto my desk and started eating my roses that my boyfriend had got me i was convinced they were going to poison him. He found a plastic bracelet which he demolished as well as jelly beans. We can't eat jelly beans around him he seeks them out and nibbles our hands until he can grab one. :lol: Wallpaper, he loves wallpaper, its pretty lucky my landlord is nice. lol
