haha. Your bun sounds adorable!!! That naughty streak is so cute.. they're too charming and they know it!
lol. That's partly the reason.
He-Man eats practically anything! The shed floor is covered with linolium, as is his bedroom level. On the shelf (bedroom level) the lino was stapled to the side and underneath, so he couldn't get to the edge of it, but the lil blighter just started eating it from the corner of the shelf. Figured we'd fit a metal edge strip bar on it, and still somehow he managed to get his teeth into it, so the lino has been ripped up from his shelf and he has carpet there now.
Dad fits windows for a living and has these long hard-plastic strips which are a good 12-15 feet in length, so he had some strips laying in the garden for a day for a job he was planning to do... He-Man had chewed those and got us in the dog house.
Wooden table and chairs we get out the conservatory for the summer, he's chewed those. He's gone in the conservatory and chewed the furnature AND mum's books... boy was she upset.
He chews the fence. His giant cardboard "wendy house". (Yep, despite having a shed he likes to sleep in a box in the garden, lil tramp. haha) All sorts.
So, he gets fed because he's a giant eating machine, and he has plenty of toys to chew (willow rings, seagrass mats, bristle balls etc.) but he is overweight and I know it's only going to put more a of strain on him. As it is I flip him on his back and clean his "area" because he can't reach and I've been trimming his coat around his back end, under his back legs and even his tail because he got matted, so I'm brushing him underneath too. I know a diet would make him more capable and more comfortable, so I have to cut back, but I do worry because I once made a stupid mistake and bought a rabbit kit which was actually unwell at the time and she died less than 48 hours later of GI Stasis, so maybe subconsciously I'm being too generous with He-Man because I fear losing him to the same awful affliction.
