Well I never argue with my husband but last night we had a heated debate over the rabbits.
We have Vince and Meg who are less than a year old and live indoors. These last few weeks Vince has become very destructive. We thought the arrival of a friend ( meg last month) would help with his bordom. It has not changed anything and now it's like there's double trouble when their both out. She has shown no tendencies to chew. Until last night. While he was ripping at the carpet and I was distracting him, she ripped one of my cushions. It wasn't a big deal as such, but I flipped. We have bunny proofed EVERYTHING possible and the only things we can't is the carpet and our brand new sofa and they STILL manage to bite things within the blink of an eye. I said ' do we wait unti the sofa is wrecked. Maybe they should go outside. ' He was not happy with me suggesting this, saying ' their rabbits' and I said ' exactly. Maybe we shouldn't have them inside if we don't want things to get trashed. Chewing is what they do. Would you not be gutted if the sofa gets chewed?' He said ' no , I would just say it was my fault for not watching them.' :roll: I understand it's not them being ' naughty' just being rabbits but I just felt so fustrated. Fed up of my nice things getting wrecked
The other 5 live outside happily enough. But my husband is major, major attached to these two, staying. They were suppose to be living in the kitchen. They were there an hour before he said ' I can't stand to not have them in the living room' and this massive dog crate is now in my living room:roll::lol:. He's asked me to try it for a week, or they can go back in the kitchen haha yea right. No his game
Well tonight I get in and there is a note from Vince and Meg, apologising for the ripped cushion and a lindt bunny on the sofa. I had to laugh, despite myself... :lol::lol::lol:
Anyone else, have to deal with this ???
