Treat song 2.0

This mouf is meant for nomming on the treatie foods

If I don’t get treats enough

I’ll chomp on your hand too!

Tanned

Last week began a short spell of British Summer, during which we had many upside down rabbits and I strutted around slightly red-cheeked and covered in a wet towel.

As you can imagine, not many of the residents were too impressed by the change.

"Can you turn that thing down? My wife has turned even darker than usual!"

Tactics

Some rabbits can, when faced with breakfast, be overcome with a sudden shyness. Perhaps they get the suspicion that the food is a bribe, placed there in order for them to be suddenly scooped up and taken off somewhere, like to the V.E.T.S.

So what do you do when you really want that food? Well, obviously you've got to try a little bit of camouflage to blend in with your surroundings...

"Do you think it's working?"

Bailey B's Big Day Out

Bailey B and Mars' aviary is one of our smallest, so it is perhaps no surprise that when I went to clean them out this week he made a bolt for the door and the big wide world.

As you can see, he didn't get very far.

"Nomnomnomnomnom"

Dark Whispers

"Don't look now but that strange woman is back again. If she's got the snack barrow, you dash for the door and I'll go for the carrots."

The Black Widow

One thing at the Rescue that we are in a constant attempt to do is pair up our long term singles, something that can be very easy or can be an outright disaster- after all, many of these long term singles are singles for a reason, for example their lack of social skills, previous trauma or from thinking they are the Bunny God's gift to rabbit-kind and their prospective suitor not sharing their opinion.

Alternatively, some of the singles have lost their partners and require a new friend. One such bunny is Mars, who alas has already outlived three partners during her time here- Dexter, Kirk and poor disabled Houdini, who was a favourite at the rescue.

Although I must have known her from years as a volunteer, I only really started to notice Mars when I got employed and had to do the breakfast rounds on weekdays, but usually all I saw was a black nose poking out of the bedroom waiting patiently for me to leave.

It is therefore with some delight that Mars consented to a match with Megacolon Syndrome rabbit Bailey B and her behaviour has changed dramatically. She is now seen outside of her house and eats breakfast in full view, which I hope will be a state of affairs that will continue as she gains confidence.

Watching all the snuggling is good for the soul too...
