        This isn’t a problem for me. I just thought I start a thread to share stories.

        Ethel has claimed ownership of most of the house! I have started to notice what a little Diva she has become. Don’t get me wrong, she is still very friendly; gives loads of licks, easy to pick up (and tooth purrs when I cuddle her on my shoulder), runs to see me when I come home….but this little miss does have an attitude!

         Her most recent diva developments are:

        • She has taken over my bedroom – spending most days snoozing by the side of my bed. I came home yesterday and turned on my bedroom light which woke her up. She then stamped at me a couple of times before flopping again. She is next to me now, dozing, and just stamped at me for blowing my nose!
        • Deciding that she does not belong in a cage or pen and that she should be a free range bunny. She will escape and wake me up at 3am by scratching and headbutting my door until I let her in.
        • Stamping at me if I enter my room and disturb her.
        • Nudging me away repeatedly if I am trying to clean out her cage
        • Jumping on my back when I am bending over to clean her litter tray and using the height to leap onto the kitchen table where her treats are kept.
        • Stamping at me when I talk to her if she is under my bed as she thinks I am going to move her.
        • Headbutting my partner out of the bedroom (lol).
        • Nipping me if she feels I am in her way (when she could quite easily go around!)

        Do you have a bigger diva bunny? What does yours do?

          Haha, that’s a Bunny Diva alright!

          My Olivia is a super Diva. She can be so sweet and lady-like and then, in a second, turn angry and pummel you. She grunts when she’s displeased. She claims ownership of the whole living room when she’s out. She chins everything over and over. She won’t let me rearrange anything in her condo when she’s in there. She chews on the bars when she feels it’s time for a treat. She beats up her plush bear and bunny in her condo, they will go flying through the air and then she starts washing them. She’s so moody. She makes me laugh. We love our little Diva.

            Aww your bunny sounds adorable!

            I love animals with a strong  personality. I think it shows that they are happy and confident enough to be themselves.

            I would love to see her beating up her bear, it sounds really cute (and a little bit violent! lol)

              Hehe
              I think I have a little Diva as well.
              Arya keeps nudging me when I start scooping up the poops in their bunny house. She also goes for my little dust whiper and starts dragging it out of the way. Can’t figure out if she wants to help me out or is saying ‘Watcha doing that for? Stop it!’.

                My bunny is a diva too, she loves to thump at me anytime I’m not doing exactly what she wants me to be doing! She likes to nip at me if I’m on the couch and she wants to pass behind me (rather than jump across my lap). But, she is also a sweetie, sits on my lap, lets me pick her up, licks me while I brush her, etc. The sassiness just makes her that much cuter – most of the time
