Borys gave me a heart attack today. I came home after 3 hours away to an open pen door, and no bunny. It was completely my fault, as his pen has two doors. I’d left one open. My home is large and open plan. He could be behind the fridge, in the toilet, or God forbid, dead of electric shock. I haven’t bunny proofed yet. Fortunately, I use only nontoxic products, so that worry was out of the way.

Within seconds, a sweet little face appeared around the corner. He started playing tag with me. I was incredibly happy to see him. The little stinker, I’m sure, enjoyed 3 hours and 1000 square feet to run. So much, that he ignored the treats I tried to lure him with. He is cheeky: he lay down under my electric piano one foot away and stared at me. On top of the power cord. I hastily unplugged.

Finally, the waving cilantro got to him. Two mouthfuls, and he had to follow the rest into his pen.

I think I’m still in shock. Clearly, the little man believes my home is to be shared equally. From the looks of his litter boxes, he used them like a gentleman. Although I won’t be surprised to find a few pellets here and there.

He wasn’t hiding, which is very cool. It was more like, “Hey roomie, glad you’re home. Wanna play a game?” Did I mention that after his initial appearance, he started sorting through the vinyl LPs I have stacked on the floor? He got on his hind legs and flipped over Led Zepplin. Wish I’d taken a video. It looked just like he was searching for the perfect tune to start our Friday night party.

I know about putting plastic tubing over electrical cords. Any suggestions for shielding entire power bars? I work from home, and have a great deal of electrical equipment.
