        Another funny Baxter story. He has a thing for childrens hangers. He won’t touch the adult sized ones. I was doing laundy tonight and I put all of the kids hangers in a basket and walked into the other room for about 10 minutes. When I got back he had them scattered all over my kitchen floor! Usually he likes to rearrange them picking them up and moving them about but never this! lol He is so funny sometimes. What funny odd behaviors do your bunnies do?

          Lol Baxter is so cute! Maybe since the children’s ones are smaller they are easier for him to play with? A bit lighter on the teeth perhaps?

          At night sometimes I feel little paws on my back. I don’t even feel Indy jump on the bed. He will nestle into my hair and neck and wait for pets. If I don’t start petting him soon, he will start digging in my bed until I pet him. If I stop before he is “done” getting pet …then he starts digging there again. Last night I pet him for almost an hour before I kindly shoved him off my bed….rofl. I said “okay I love you tons and everything but this is a little extreme even for ME. ” He does this maybe every other to every 2 days. It’s very cute. No one really believes me when I tell him he does this stuff, but I know all you guys do. Most of my friends can’t comprehend that rabbits can use the litterbox *rolls eyes*

            Our bunnies are so silly!!! They have such personalities.

            Oliver does a lot of funny things. He hops up on top of his bunny house and stares at me whenever he’s impatient for me to feed him breakfast. He also has a knack for discovering the hay stash. When he was just a little bunz, he would find the funniest resting places, and he particularly liked to have his butt sticking up in the air…
             

            I don’t know Dorie very well yet. We have only had her for about a week. I do love how whenever she hears me in “her” room (it’s actually our bedroom, but her xpen is set up in there until she and Oliver are fully bonded), she runs right up to the bars of the pen and stares up at me like “You’re coming to give me some attention, right?” And whenever I pet her, she puddles out, closes her eyes and soaks up the love. She is incredibly sweet, which is a nice change of pace because Oliver can be such a little twerp.

              lol Indy sounds like fun. I wouldn’t dare let Baxter into my bed. He loves to pee all over anything fabric. YUK!

              I had to laugh when I saw that pic of Oliver.

                SOOOO CUTE!! My bunny likes my bed and plays with me on it but he poops on it and peed twice :/ I like him on my bed and I’m still socializing him so I don’t want to reprimand his attempts at making friends with me… Did your bunnies ever go on your bed and if they (do) did, did they stop? Should I just keep him off my bed? Also… my bed is “japanese style” and only a foot off the ground so finding a way to make him not go on my bed is a better option than blocking it off if possible… Thanks!

                  Nope never got Cotton to quit using the toilet on my bed.  Nor would he stop digging in my hair every 2 hours. 

                  You are lucky it is every other day

                      Lucy loves phone books! But not the Embarq green ones. They have to be the Verizon red ones. And it has to be open to the white pages. She has this thing with yellow, so I don’t understand why she likes phonebooks so much. Anything yellow I put in her pen gets chucked into a corner, or hidden. I once had a yellow sheet under her pen while I washed her normal sheet. When I got back to her to change, she had pushed the sheet completely up against the one wall and was as far away from it as she could be. Apparently the tastiness of a phonebook outweighs the ugliness of yellow?

                      She also “sings” for treats! I taught her to stand up, or “sing”. If it’s something super tasty like a banana (which we can’t say unless we have some to give) she “hits the high notes” and pushes up on her back feet. It’s the cutest.

                        Wish I had a picture of this… it’s just not as funny to explain it. Or at least, it’s a running joke with my family.

                        One of my rabbits, Dylan, mostly lives in the living room/dining room areas. He’s a very messy bun when he eats (he has no teeth and sometimes has trouble grabbing stuff, even though we chop it small, so it gets kinda pushed around) so we feed him his salads on a dinner plate. As soon as he’s eaten a little tiny bit and made a tiny space for himself, he hops onto the plate and eats his veggies like that. So out come the rabbit stew jokes from my family, haha. They say he looks ready to be cooked, sitting all nice on top of his veggies. >.> When he’s done his veggies, he’ll often go into the meatloaf position on top of the plate, heheh. He likes sitting there for some inexplicable reason.

                        My other rabbit, Thomas, well, he’s quite desperate for any kind of treat (including just his regular pellets, haha) and you can make him do the funniest things. You can make him hop, chase, etc. But the best thing is when we make him ‘dance.’ We put the treat right in front of his nose and inch it forward and he has such great balance, he’ll stay on his hind legs, hopping forward, for quite a while! Until we give him the treat, lol.

                        Thomas also has a funny but not always so funny for /me/ taste for destruction… if I give him newspapers, clean papers, or even just clean note paper, he won’t be too interested. But he’ll dig and root for my written notes, oh, he loves those! He’s dug through a box where I kept my notes and made a hole to pull my notes from there… He’ll also root through my garbage can for tossed paper. He also likes the hardcovers of my textbooks too. >.<  Expensive tastes.

                          Opal is a very possessive bunny. Sometimes when I go in to clean her cage and I move her toys around, she’ll run up and punch whatever I’m holding out of my hands with both front paws. She’s insanely strong! haha
                          She also really likes hopping up the stairs, even though she knows it’s “my” space. But all I have to do is give her a look and she hops back down. It’s insanely cute.
                          Funny thing my mom does with Opal: My mom wasn’t a bunnylover and was kind of skeptical at first, but she came to visit last weekend and totally fell in love with Opal. I told her Opal liked being pet on the head and by her ears. So my mom starts to pet her and starts playing with her ears, making them move like airplane wings; she was making the sound effects and everything. It was pretty funny. Opal seemed confused, but didn’t mind because she was getting pets.

                              All these stories are so funny! Lol

                              I had effectively kept Sammy out from under the living room couch by stuffing towels between the bottom of the couch and the floor. I came out after showering the other day and saw towels pulled out from under the couch and Sammy nowhere in sight. He had managed to remove the towels and get under, and since he’s now really too big to be under there, I had to lift the couch to help him get out…

                              I now have a nic barrier around my couch and am planning a more permanent and less visible solution, because having all the visible nice grids really bothers me.

                              He also uses my papasan chair as basically a ‘rabbit wheel’ and runs around and around in circles on it, and he’ll perch on the top of my couch when I’m sitting there, right by my face, so I feel his breath on me and turn around and he’s staring at me, as if to say… “So, any pets?” LOL

                                  hi earthisours,

                                  i think i saw on an older post of yours that you had all hardwood floors. i am a new house rabbit parent and have all hardwood floors. my bunny is doing fine but i am trying to figure out if bunny is scratching the floors. my husband has been letting a rescue dog in the evenings (when bunny is put up) and i think it’s probably the dog but i was wondering if you or anyone else has ever had any problems with rabbits scratching hardwood floors?? 

                                  thank you!

                                    I have hardwood floors and my bun is free range 24/7 …. she has never scratched our floors.   But … all buns do different things … so you will prob. have to catch either the bunny or doggie in the act to see who is doing it.

                                        I am a new rabbit owner so i am quickly learning that rabbits are really funny pets. Well my bunny boy lennie has been with me for a little over two weeks and he does this thing that makes me giggle. In the morning i give him his playe of leafy greens and then i am off to work. When i come back home i see him sitting on his plate in a loaf position. I don’t know why he does this but he looks so cute and funny. He also doesn’t like mint leaves. If i put that on his plate he will eat everything but the mint. I find it so funny.
