Almost had a heart attack

[Lintini]

Ok…I’ve been in my room with Indy for the past 4 hours, watching TV and playing computer games…

I gave him and Bun some blueberries a few hours ago, and I let him lick the little bit of juice out of the container I thawed them in. It’s a tiny tupperware. I placed the tupperware back onto my dresser after he was done licking it. ( I was holding it while he cleaned it off)

I leave my room for less than a minute to refill his water biottle, walk back into my room…and the tupperware is is compeltely covering his face. I let out the most deathly gasp and run to him and pull it off. I can’t believe I was that stupid…I mean I don’t know how he knocked it off…I think maybe Bun was hopping and it knocked off since her cage is on my dresser. I snuggled him for the past 30 minutes crying… I mean I could have sufficated him and killed him!!! *bashes head into wall* I know I over-reacted (a little) and he could have very easily taken it off himself (i think), it wasn’t tight at all but it still scared the s*** out of me!!!! It’s so freaking easy to lose a pet it’s not funny.

 

AGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ohh, how scary for you, but really if I am imagining this correctly it would be hard for him to suffocate with a tupperware dish if it only covered his face (not like his face was stuck in plastic bag or he was trapped underneath some heavy tupperware???). Regardless though, you felt scared and I’m sorry for that. But don’t you worry or feel bad about this for one more minute – you are a wonderful bunny mom and sometimes bunnies can get into the strangest trouble!

Take a deep breath…it’s all okay now. Hugs!

I just saw it and freaked out. He was just sitting there with it over his face. It was loose…but it covered his face perfectly and I freaked out. Weird that today I was joking at work to suffocate myself in our huge garbage bags. I was stressed out by rude people and was like “BYE GUYS, I”LL MISS YOU” And pretended to put it over myself…then I go home and Indy does this!!! It is a very light glad plastic tupperware. I don’t know, if you saw him just sitting there with it over his nose…I just freaked out!!!! *snuggles Indy* I swear he just wanted attention!

LMAO!!! HAHAHA!.  That is so funny!!   I sure have felt like that lately, so I feel your pain. 

 

I understand though how seeing the tupperware over your precious bunny would cause panic.  I would feel the same way at first glance.  Just don’t let that get you down as you obviously love and care for your bunnies and they are so lucky to have you. Looks like they really got you this evening.  Naughty bunnies!

Awww, silly Indy. I’m with BB though – I don’t think it would’ve hurt him at all and he could’ve easily pulled his face out. My bun loves sticking his face into things – maybe they feel like they’re burrowing?

Animals will shove their faces into all sorts of things to get at a bit of yummies. I bet he would have been fine.
However, I can understand it scaring you!
I’m glad Indy is okay!

Oh what a silly bun! They love to stress us out! (And just wait til you have human kids, that’s even worse!)

I always worry about that kind of thing. I guess I’ve seen too many TV shows and stuff with animals stuck places or they get their head stuck in something.

As one of the nearly 80% of people here who screamed in terror the first time their rabbit ever did a solid bunny flop, I welcome you to the fear of our babies.

[Lintini]

Between that and his ongoing quest to get into the aquarium stand where all the lovely chemicals and chords are…I’m going to die young. lol

[Monkeybun]

Well, at least if we die young, we’ll still look good

Markus is right, welcome to the club. Our first baby, Pringles was in the house and out of her carrier almost 2 minutes before she zoomed behind the couch. We got down and looked under and she was alternating between full body flops and squirming on her back like a dog in grass. Scared us to death! But she came dashing out and into our laps like she approved of the place….lol

OH my that would have made a great video had it not been a scary situation.    Whew.  Buns I tell ya.
