There's nothing like a new home to bring out the true nature of buns I am finding - and in some ways delighting me and in others worrying me.
Bug and Prudhoe - Prudhoe is the first one who has made it all the way down the stairs last night - and has now discovered the big exciting world of 'downstairs'. Bug is getting there and has about 4 steps to get down but she is has changed - she is now the most adorable, soppiest bun ever - possibly from being with mad Prudhoe or just having a new world to discover - or even the Pet Remedy diffuser we use - whatever it is Prudhoe and Bug are very happy little creatures and Prudhoe loves nothing better than scamperiing at high speed up the stairs and then binkying across the landing.
However - Holly and Sheldon worry me - they get all excited about a coming out but then lose their nerve on coming out onto the landing and bolt back into their pen and just stay there - I can get them out with treats but they quickly eat those and run back to their pens. Sometimes they stay out and investigate and have a lovely time - but for the most part they are just too scared - and haven't even approached the stairs. On Saturday night he was doing 'bunny 500's and binkying like a loon' - last night he was terrified.
Lenny and Cheyenne are better - they do spend time out on the landing as do Bobo and Harley so it's just a matter of time with them I think - and the landing is quite a large area so they are getting exercise and are binkying happily when out. Bobo and Harley are great too - lots of binkying from them.
It's just Holly and Sheldon - and they surprise me especially Sheldon who is normally so forward and curious and not scared of anything - he's still gobbles up his food and in his pen he is fine - but is a scared little boy when out of it. It's very strange - I hope in time he learns that it is safe.
