Not worried about it or anything (unless I should be :? ) but as I get to know my new bunnies a bit more, I've noticed Abbie does a couple of strange things....just wondering if anyone knows why she's doing it? Giles doesn't do the same, so maybe it's nesting-related? But there isn't any fur lying around, so maybe it's summat else?!
1. When I give Abbie a bit of carrot when she's running free outside of her hutch (she doesn't generally do this when she's fed locked inside her hutch) she takes it and 'parades' with it for a couple of minutes before sitting down to eat it. Why's that :?:
2. They have 3 litter trays in their hutch. The one on the top floor, in their bedroom, is always completely emptied by Abbie of the litter/paper/hay I put in. She also occasionally empties one of the trays in the bottom floor. I thought I'd take the hint that they didn't want the litter tray in their bedroom, but they still used that corner to go to the toilet even without the tray there.
We once put a load of shredded paper in their bedroom for them to snuggle into when sleeping - she went immediately crazy and wouldn't stop until the bedroom was totally empty of paper, and it was lying all over the hutch - and all over Giles - it was actually really funny as he just sat there wondering what on earth she was doing to him :lol: :lol:
Is she just playing?! She is in those difficult teenage years i suppose.....
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks
