Lynn's Bunny
Mama Doe
My bunny, Billie Gene, passed away on Wednesday. I still have his brother, Jack. I just can't believe how different their personalities are. Bill had the full run of the yard and Jack has always been in a large pen. It was because they always fought. So I kept them separate. Now that Bill is gone I decided to let Jack run in the yard. Holy stressful! He was into EVERYTHING.
Bill was so gentle and passive. Not Jack. He even went underneath our deck and it is impossible to get him out. I had it blocked off but he is so clever he got under. Luckily, he eventually came out. He also does not come running when I show him the treat bag. It was how I used to get Bill back in his pen. He would chase me. Jack, well, nope, not interested. I finally was able to pick him up as he was exhausted from all the excitement.
I feel bad though because Bill was just so much easier and more loving. I had playing favorites. Maybe in time Jack will calm down? He is 8 years old though. good grief. I also don't know if I should get Jack a companion. He can be a jerk at times. He likes to bite. :roll: Bill only learnt how to bite from Jack and then only did it once with me. I told him no and he looked mortified that he had done that and he never did it again.
I'm just surprised how different they are. Their Dad was so hyper and their Mom was very calm. So I guess Bill was like his Mom and Jack like his Dad. I do love him. I hope no one thinks I don't but he is a little monkey!!!:shock:
