Im having a few issues with Mimi
In my bedroom Timmy and Mimi have their base under my bed with their litter tray water and bed and the rest of the room to play in with toys etc. I have wooden floors which Mimi has a real issue with (the other 3 have no problems with it atall) so I bought a load of interlocking foam matts for the bedroom ages ago. She was abit funny with them for a while but is now absolutely fine on them under the bed, binkies and runs around on them fine. But in the rest of the room I found she wouldnt go in until I put down duvets and blankets for her. This is a massive pain in the bum as they both wee on the duvet and I have to wash it about twice a week. So I decided a week ago that I would take the duvet and blanket away and work on getting her used to being on the foam matts. She will come out onto them for her pelletts or veg, but will not come out and play/run around in the rest of the room without the duvet :roll: Its so strange as she is fine on them under the bed and its exactly the same flooring, no gaps inbetween or anything :?
Anyway I was persevering with it and encouraging her to come out until yesterday when I ket finding tufts of Timmys fur around :shock: Then at 4am this morning the snow plough went past our house and was reeeally loud waking me and OH up, then a second later we heard a massive curfuffle under the bed. I leapt out of bed and switched the light on to find a very alarmed looking Timmy and loads of his fur around, she'd been attacking him :shock:
With Mimi I know that this is all fear related. Shes a very nervous bunny damaged by a very sad history and her confidence hasnt been helped atall by her head tilt 2 and a half years ago. I offen wonder how good her sight is, I wonder if it could be getting worse?
Anyway I didnt know what else to do so Ive put the damn duvet and blankets back on the bedroom floor incase that was upsetting her. Ive checked them both, no signs of any obvious illness at the moment. Both are eating enthusiastically and have nice big poos.
I might just have to live with washing the flippin duvet all the time, I just hope to god she stops attacking my Timmy. Hes such a sweet boy and a good husbun.
Any advice atall?? My poor damaged Moomy
ETA. This morning I also found loads of poos and a few wees in their bed which is unusual. I occasionally find the odd poo but never that much and never wee aswell :?
