I was worried about scaring the living daylights out of the buns when hoovering, so I gently 'introduced' them to the vaccum cleaner.
I would vaccum a room they weren't in, so that they were aware of the sound of it, and then slowly came closer to the room they were in over a period of days. It got to the point where they would actually come and have a look see at what I was doing and I could skirt around the edges of the room, and they wouldn't be bothered.
I then got to the stage where they would just lay or sit, quietly, as I hoovered right around them, and would sniff the hoover head inquisitively occasionally!:lol:
These days they seem to get all excited, as they run around and have the most amazingly gymnastic binkies. Once the vaccums off, they are all over it sniffing and almost looking as if they want to nudge it back into life!:lol:
In the past I have found that some of my bunnies never got used to the vaccum. The moment they even saw it their body language was clear "Gawd, they've got that contraption out again, i'm off!":shock:
So how do your own buns fair when it's time to do a spot of hoovering?
Thanks!:wave:
