Hopper Haven Bunnies - bunny 052 Cookie Monster

Wise Old Thumper
Cookie Monster is a sweet looking ginger and white English marked dwarf lop doe, but inside lives a much fiercer creature. She arrived at HH in December 2009 because her owners could no longer cope with her...not at all surprising as she guards her territory determinedly and chases Louise out of her run every morning when she is let out, and she pounces repeatedly while her hutch is cleaned.

When she bites she used to draw blood every time and leaves a bruise. It would be a fool who would under estimate her! Handling her is difficult as she is talented at whipping herself around and biting where you thought she could not reach. Lou is her particular target as she greatly resents her grooming her bottom which gets mucky as her front teeth are misaligned. Lou was also the one to deliver her for teeth burring before she had her incisors removed. Now when she bites it only tickles! She is very puzzled that she no longer gets as much respect, her face after she thinks she has bitten you is a picture!

She may be tough but she does not boss her partner Midnight. If she makes the mistake of going for him he trounces her. There is often a bit of a scuffle between them at feed time, but they have never hurt each other. They live in one of the enclosures.

 
I do love a bunny with attitude - especially one that looks so 'sweet'....she sounds adorable!:love:
