Wise Old Thumper
Has anyone else ever observed this? I'm interested to hear your situations and stories.
We've been seeing Biscuit grow obviously since he arrived here at 8 weeks old. At nearly 2 years old now, we've seen him change so much.
He's matured into a VERY smart young rabbit.
Recently, as in 1 - 2 months, we've seen him learning to problem solve an awful lot.
The current one is moving items, to create an environment that allows him to escape their night time pen. He does it during the day, even when free-range, and i believe it's because he's trying to work it out how to do it more efficiently.
He has a large cardboard box, which is a 'bolt hole' for them both, but its rarely used as that - it's in a corner, under a roof area to stop escapes.
However, he has recently worked out that he can nudge the box to a certain area, to attempt to get to that partial roof and then explore/escape further.
He pushes it, then gets ontop, looks up, periscopes, realises its not far enough, gets down, nudges it further, does the same, until its in a place where he can jump straight up on top of the roofing area.
I find it AMAZING to see the HUGE intelligience in a rabbit.
Ginger however, just sits and watches, and she's learning, little things, slowly, but she's learning, she has picked up little traits from Biscuit and its fascinating to me.
So go on, tell me your intelligience stories.
