  I woke up the other morning to the sound of Little-Bit chewing on my bed. She knows she’s not supposed to, and she has a little wooden shew carrot-wedge but she doesn’t like to use it because it’s not substantial and it moves when she chews it. (Both Binkles and Little-Bit have shown that they only like to chew on solid, STABLE things -things that they can really gnaw hard on!)
  
  So anyway, I reach down and I hold the wooden carrot in my hands like a corn cob in order to stablize it enough for her to be satisfied chewing it. She goes right at it and, as she is busy mauling it, GROWLS at it! Several times!! Like a dog when you are playing tug of war with them! It just made my day. So cute!
  
  Anyone else’s bunnies growl when they are playing with their toys?

  ALL my buns know how to growl. I swear when Carrera first realized she could make noises she tried them all out all the time on me. Growls, grunts, oints, moans, you name it, she did it. So stinkin’ cute!
  
  But now I only get grunted or growled at when I am “bad” such as taking food bowls away. lol
  
  Can you somehow drill a hole in her wood carrot and ziptie it to something stable or hang it from somewhere so her chew toys are more stable for her to chew on easier?

  Yup you could certainly do that!

  I’ll never forget the first time Kokanee growled…she was at my boyfriends mom house (While I was moving-I didn’t want to upset her) and she saw stairs for the first time. She growled at them!! It was totally like she figured ‘we’d done that to the floor to bother her’ -that was the impression we got from her, because she growled at them, then ran over to us and thumped LOL

  Pepper growled for the first time when we were fostering another bun as a possible bondmate for her (before we realized that she REALLY doesn’t want one). First I stared, unsure of what I had heard. Then I cracked up! “who’s da fierce little bunbun?”
  
  Now that she has decided that UnderTheBed is her domain, sometimes if I drop something and I have to get it back (like my glasses) there will be growling and boxing anf I have to use a stick to retrieve my belongings/

  Lol Little-Bit growls if she is trapped in her condo. She growls up a storm while she’s gnawing at the bars! It’s so funny, because her growls are SO different from Binkles’ growls. Binkles’ growls were more like the sounds dog toys make when you squeeze them really lightly. Little-Bit’s almost sound like snorts or burps!
  
  I could rig her up some wooden chew toys to make them secure, but I think I’m just going to go out to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy a big peice of un-treated bunny safe wood.

  Martin growls every time he gets mad. He threw a TOTAL temper tantrum when I had to use NIC cubes to block him from going under the bed. He thumped and grunted and tried to throw the cubes all around. He was soooo mad!
