  Whisky is very angry at me right now. Why? Because I blocked off the back of the couch so she can’t crawl underneath it anymore. I didn’t think she could fit under there, and she didn’t figure out she could until today, but that became her new favorite place. I’d let her, but it’s a sleeper sofa and I’m afraid she could end up caught in there or otherwise hurt herself on the mechanics (there are springs and such, I think). So I ended up duct-taping the corners in the back so she can’t lift them up (I’ll figure out a better solution later, but it works for the moment).
  
  She’s very mad. Like, won’t let me pick her up mad (not like her at all). Every time I go near her she hops away into her litter box (she knows it’s the one place where I’ll absolutely leave her alone). I’ve tried to appease her with some romaine, but she’s still not forgiving me for taking away her awesome knew hiding place/toy.
  
  So what things have you guys done to anger your bunnies? How long does it usually take them to get over it? I miss my bunny snuggles!

  Just telling Marlee no and/or redirecting her away from something is enough to bring on the bunny butt with her. She is very obvious with it too — will get right in front of me and turn her back! She’ll also sit about 8 feet away and give the stink eye if she feels the bunny butt hasn’t worked. Hubby calls it her going off and pouting.

  Whisky and I finally compromised. She’s now allowed to go under the ottoman. Mostly because there’s nothing under there she can get caught on, and if she refuses to come out, I can just pick it up.

  Philomena throws full on temper tantrums when she feels that I’ve treated her unjustly. She throws her wood chew in her cage and then buries it and she will try to flip her litter box and will dig everything out of the litter box. Usually she will throw these temper tantrums when she gets out of her ex-pen and I don’t have time to fix it so she can’t get out agian before I go to class, so she gets confined to her cage until I can fix it.

  Merlin is the sulkiest bunny! I’ve been in three day exile because he had to have antibiotics, and he’s only just forgiven me.

  I had to pick Marlee and Moshi up last night to look for the culprit of the fleece poop smears. Moshi forgave me after about 5 minutes. Marlee is still giving me the butt. She’s even coming to the xpen door and sitting with her back to it with the door open. Such big attitude for such a little bunny.

  Whisky loves to kick things out of her litterbox if I go upstairs to get ready to go out and take too long. I come back down, and there’s litter and poop on the carpet in front of her cage. Of course she only does it if I leave her cage open.

  Whisky — in our house that means one of two things:
  
  1) the litterbox needs emptying (even though they are are emptied every night)
  2) there must be buried treasure in here!

  Bun Bun got mad at me for giving him a bum bath. A certain veg didn’t agree with his stomach which meant poopy bum and he wasn’t pleased with me at all. Ran away and such or just pouted for a long time if I stopped trying haha

  When March and Treasure are playing in my room and I try to pick them up and put them to bed, they will throw tantrums and grunt and stomp their feet at me. They usually just hide under the chair in my room for a few minutes tho then come out and forgive me. Especially if I give the food.
