  And why didn’t any of you WARN me about how crazy rabbits truly are??
  
  It seems like everytime I finally get Smokey and Fang figured out, they do something completely bizarre, and make me go, “WHA??”
  
  I’ve told you that they live under the sofa, that’s ther chosen ‘warren’, and we don’t mind, except for the occasional headbutts we get to the rear while we’re sitting there if we make too much noise and disturb their beauty sleep.
  
  Every few days, my husband and I wait until they get up for their morning tour de force, and flip over the sofa to remove any hairballs, and put clean soft towels down that they can dig at or snuggle with. Usually, there’s nothing under there but hair and crumply towels, but on Sunday, we found a pile of pennies there.
  
  So, can any of you please, PLEASE explain to me why the hell they are hoarding pennies??!!
  
  My husband didn’t drop the money there, and my 18 year old will remain broke until she gets her butt off to work. I use a coinpurse, and don’t drop change. The only place pennies collect is in the laundry area, my husband does the wash, but has yet to learn how to empty pockets. That means that the boys have to be sneaking into the laundry room commando-style at night, and swiping them off the floor.
  
  I raised three kids, and learned to hide the change, at first to prevent it from being swallowed, and then to prevent the purchase of illegal cigarettes as they got older. But if anyone had told me a week ago that my bunnies would steal change, I would have laughed, and said “STFU, and come see me when you get out of detox!”
  
  Instead, I think you’ll all have to come see me when I get out of detox!!!

  Oh man! I love your posts and I LOVE your bunnies! At first I thought “pennies” was a polite way of saying “poo” …don’t want to find any of those in my Christmas pudding.
  
  Was there any holes in the lining of the sofa that they could have dug them out? I guess you could test the laundry theory by putting a few of the recovered pennies back in there and see if they get swiped.
  
  Lol! I’m imagining them with itty bitty metal detectors!

  My husband dropped some change Sunday night. He’s like the kids, he just leaves stuff on the floor until I notice it, he’d rather get yelled at than actually have to bend over and pick something up. Monday night, there were three more pennies under there.
  
  Our sofas are recliners, so change that falls into the sofa goes into that fold between the back and the seat, but there’s never any money there, because my daughter constantly couch fishes, hoping to find more than change, so that sofa is always cleaner than a nun’s knickers.
  
  We think either they like the ‘shinies’, or they’re getting some weird kind of copper high by kicking them. It took us forever to figure out that they were licking my husband’s head and feet to get their salt fix…..eww. Nutritious, tasty, and human sweat-free salt blocks keep them from licking him.
  
  God, all this licking….feet, heads, pennies, corn chips (don’t ask)…..sounds like they have an oral fixation, doesn’t it? Do Freudian principles apply to rabbits?

  Hmm hoarding pennies. Thats a first. You sure they aren’t part crow bird? Crows like to take shiny things too.

  HAHA! I get headbutted in the rear too. Everytime I move even a little Freya reminds me, not so gently, that shes under the couch thank you very much and knock it off. Maybe they’re saving up to buy something nice?

  I think I’d be worried they might swallow them. 0_o
  Don’t suppose the pennies CAME with the recliners? ^_^ Kind of an added extra bonus? You didn’t mention if they were new or second hand.
  
  I’d start looking for a magic top hat in the bunnies’ pockets, I think one of them must have one! (And of course, one of them must also have pockets!)

  I was greatly amused by this post. Why would they need to hire a hitman? If I were a rabbit, I’d sooner purchase a pound of carrots.
  
  Okay probably more than a pound…and some applesauce.

  oh my gosh! your buns sound hilarious! i’ve never seen max hoard anything, but he does like shiny things. especially poptart wrappers. so they very well may be attracted to the shine.
