Time for Week 2 of the Enrichment Scavenger hunt, I think the bunnies will like this one.

To recap, to complete the task I post an item/task and you have to find it and take a picture of your bunny investigating or playing with it (or completely ignoring it whilst napping). It must be something new, not something your bunny already has.

Week 2: This week's item is a box(es), big or small, any material, make something with it, fill it with something... think outside the box... or in it. Post a picture and your bunnies opinion below.

I'll post one of Scamp once he gets up, and out of his current box :lol:

Here is a link to Week 1 for anyone that wants to catch up: http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?432162-Enrichment-Scavenger-Hunt-Week-1

Storm and Mallow had their tea delivered in boxes today instead of their bowls.

First there was some suspicions sniffings going on.


Next, more detailed investigations reveals tasty kale and carrots


It didn't take long to get stuck in


They are both now chasing the tubes round the floor trying to get the last bits out :lol:

Great idea! I like your round boxes so they roll about for extra fun, I'm just trying to think what we buy that comes in tubes...

I love the synchronised nose in a box pic :lol:

Good idea, I'll join in if it ever stops raining here as any cardboard would just go floppy atm.

My two got a packaging box full of shredded paper and some pellets!

Btw, for those who may wonder why they're on the landing, this is their new base! They had to move out of their room to make way for the baby and all his stuff - he comes in Feb

Florence was bravest first, as Neville was playing run up and down stairs:



Then we had a series of sniff, run away, sniff, go and dig up the blanket, sniff and stare! Until finally they had a few pellets each until Flo tipped it over and they ran away and are still hiding in their hideout!

I could only find one box so it's not very inventive I'm afraid. I also stupidly gave it to them just after I'd topped up the hay rack, so they completely ignored it for ages :lol:

Same as last week, Emily was the first to come and be nosey. In fact, she was the only one to come and be nosey!

Meanwhile, back in the hutch:

Verdict: It was an interesting thing to look at, but the hay is more important right now. We'll explore it later.

Edit: I've just found this box photo from when they were little tiny bubs. Looks like Emily has been the nosey one all along!

I'm so cross - Arthur and Elsie joined in with this today but photobucket is being silly and I can't add their picture

I love that in the first pic of the two pics Neville & Flo look like their plotting, then they turn to face their foe :lol:

I'll catch up when I have recovered from nights! I have a plan for a box that was delivered the other day, it's half done but I've not given it to them yet! I don't have a garden so the first task will be interesting but I'll give it a go! I'll miss two weeks whilst I'm on holiday though boo.

Forest and Fern's 'Box Adventure'

Hi, I really apologise for giant photos!
I was doing some winter proofing on their run yesterday, and had to use a few bits...tape measure, willow strips, small screwdriver, pack of eye screws ( I was careful about Bunny safety during the adventure )... I brought my nieces small wicker basket from her room to put them in ( Bunnies never seen it before, hope it qualifies as a box )

Ferni was the bravest and approached first...


Bless her...she's such a 'Big Grown Up Baby Girl' now...

Then 'Big Boy' Forest came and wanted to have what she had..as usual...

He proceeded to examine with interest...


Ferni came back to have another look....


But Forest insisted, in his very gentlemanly, yet very insistent way, that it belonged to him... :roll:




And proceeded to munch on the willow sticks...yes, it's all about food, isn't it...I should have named him 'Earnest' :lol:
