Spenser did that a lot in the summer - particularly if the dish didn't contain any of his favourites. Some buns actually prefer 'scatter feeding.'

My buns bowls use to end up at the bottom of the hutch, now i have given them two dog bowls which are heavy so its harder for them to move :lol:

I actually took our dog's bowls and my mum went out and brought new ones! :lol:

Sounds like your bunny doesnt like eating out of a bowl :lol:

I use shallw bowls for my two because Inky found 'normal' rabbit bowls too deep for him to get all his food from. The shallow bowls seem to get thrown around less.

Poppy does this, she does it with her litter tray also and its a heavyish large washing up bowl, think she just likes to throw things

Geoffrey tries to do this - but he has ceramic bowls, so they are too heavy - he does manage to drag them about though!
But he is cheeky and will dig out until he finds the tasty bits!!
He's certainly a messy bun!!

Flower does this as well or if she's not buried it under her hay, she's thrown it down the ramp onto the floor below :lol:

Hubby searches for her bowl every time but now I just her nuggets & veg into her hay/straw as she seems to enjoy foraging for them.

Julie has heavy ceramic bowls but still moves them all around and tries to pick them up. She has managed to turn them upside down. She just loves to move and rearrange everything in general. She has even managed to pull her hay container out of her cage and dump it on the floor. She has a big plastic storage box that houses her litter box. It is like a cave for her. One day I heard banging and saw her toy rabbit getting wracked up on the side of box. Julie was inside pulling her by the ear into the cave but she was facing sideways and just hitting the box. I had to turn the toy so she could get it in the cave. She drags the poor thing around the kitchen by the ear. Where ever I put something Julie has to move it.

Milo does this when his bowl is empty of the food he wants!
