Doodee has been making her presence felt [yet again]
Boy am I getting the picture loud and clear as to why this bun was in the Buns no one wants list.
She has spent the past two days grouchy as heck, sulking, turning her back on me, stamping at even the mention of her name.
She has chewed to death two more rugs, a towel, another bunny bed, chucked her toys out of her cage, chucked them in and been a real moody moo. If she had not been spayed I would be putting it down to hormones form hell.
She is the first rabbit I have had who can swear. She grumbles, mutters and is scared of everything.
So after another run of her deciding to be a bit of a ****** who does not like anything I found the rabbbit cubes idea in the housing section.
Perhaps Doodee hates being seen and in the open. Had a think then headed off to the local DIY shop to buy boxes. No boxes for sale but they let me take a selection of boxes they had unpacked. I have three cardboard tunnels that contained lights, a huge box that is very strong that is now filled with hay and has a cardboard tunnel attached. I cut peak a boo holes for her to watch us from and fitted the two commercial bunny tunnels to make a lounge sized warren.
Lined the whole thing with very think slices of parsnip and for the first time in two days the lounge is quite. She is rummaging through the hay and peers out of the little holes. She even accepted a nice crunchy spring cabbage leaf as a peace offering through the round window.
I have left her in peace and caught a glimpse of her through the door jam poking her head out of the hay box a very quick ear waggle which is as close to a binkie as I have seen her do in the weeks I have had her.
My son thinks she may be happier as an outdoor bun the same as Teasel lives 16-18 hours a day. Still thinking if that is the case or if she would do better if she could find a laid back human happy buck who mentor better bunny behaviour for her....or if like Teasel she has had such a rough start the closest to happy she will get is being allowed to live in peace with good food, enough space and someone who will forgive the uber-destructive behaviour.
[For anyone reading this please bear in mind Doodee was classed as a special rehoming case. She was classed as having unpredicatable and aggresive behaviour stemming from how she was treated as a young rabbit. Most rabbits needing homes are not so destructive and grumpy]
