Mimzy absolutely REFUSES paws down to ‘work’ for his supper. The most he will do is climb to his sleeping shelf to nose about in his pellet bowl before settling down for a nice, long snooze. Pip (who is currently my diva bunny) will tear anything apart that stands between her and her noms.
I haven’t tried it with Fiver yet. I think he’d probably just get frustrated, as he hasn’t had to really do much of anything since he arrived and seems to think he is Lord of the Bed. ^_^
Some bunnies just don’t enjoy the ‘wild rabbit’ routine is my guess. Pip will get all upset if I scatter her pellets, for example. And your Coco sounds like she is perfectly happy having you wait upon her hand a foot as often as she sees fit. I see how you’re trying to interest her in things other than cords and such. Understandable. But your boss bun seems to be pulling the strings at the moment.
And I read somewhere that bunnies see cords and other long, stringy objects the way they’d see roots and vines in the wild, and determine to move them as, if they were digging a burrow, these things would be undesirable and would impede movement or escape. So she’s got some feral in her somewhere. Just not, perhaps, when it comes to the bunny slave serving food a certain way. ^_^
