Hi all,
Of course, we would never do that to our bunnies. But some days, like today…
So the bunnies had to be cooped up for a couple of days in their living enclosure, because we had to clean the house for our first non-family visitors last night. They were let out tonight. They went wild.
There were three resulting casualties:
(1) Roomba. It was acting up so I took it apart and pulled out about as much dust from its innards as would fit in its collection bin. And who came along but Tegan who chewed through two of the wires in a connector strip. We can solder it together but the soldering pen is nowhere to be found. However, we have the parts from our older non-functional Roomba and will just replace the whole part in question.
(2) Laptop power adapter. It was behind some NIC wires but some clever bunny managed to get past it and destroy it. I’m on batteries now, fortunately Annette’s mother has a spare, there’s my office one and I can order another and get it legitimately reimbursed.
(3) Annette’s foot. When she was calling her mother to ask about the soldering iron etc. from (1) and (2) above, Tegan went over and bit the top of her foot for no reason.
And now she’s calmly grooming herself in the corner, obviously thinking “my work here today is done.”

I do lots of work on my laptop at the coffee table in the living room. This also happens to be bunny play-land.
Lizzy ignores the computer cable. She used to grab the cord to toss it out of the way, but figured out that I shrieked at her whenever she did, and stopped.
Before I even got Robbie, he was chewing my cables in the park.
He has it in for my computer cable. I unplug it whenever he’s out, but he’s a sneaky-beastie, and he manages to make it out and about without making a sound. (When they’re allowed out, I open the pen-door. Sometimes they rush right out. Sometimes they ignore me, and hang out in their pen for hours more before coming out. Lizzy likes to make a grand entrance and announce her presence. Robbie is the stealth rabbit.)
And he doesn’t just toss at the computer cable. He wants it DEAD. So he snuck up on me, and chewed half-way-through it on Thursday. Half-way. I’d wiggle it, and blue-sparks would fly everywhere. I electrical-taped it back together, and looked up how much a new cable would cost. $100.
Sigh.
I decided to chance it, and put off buying a new one.
Unfortunately, the BF is even worse about monitoring my sneaky park-bunny than I am, and Robbie had a go at my laptop cable AGAIN yesterday, and slashed it into 3 pieces before the BF could stop him.
Wretched rabbit. He’s cost me more than Lizzy, and he was the freebie-found-critter!
He’s lucky Lizzy likes him…
