  Just got this hanging veggie basket with a bell on it today and put some oat hay in it. This is what he’s doing with it.
  
  Has anyone else experienced this?
  
  Do you think he could hurt himself doing this?
  
  Do you think he is aggravated and doesn’t like the bell?
  
  Do you think he is just playing with the bell?
  
  ps..how do you actually add a video to your post, instead of having to post the link?

  He’s friggin adorable! I do think he could hurt himself especially when that metal ball and bell bounce back at him.
  
  I was thinking bunny annoyance when I watched this.

  Use the embed code they give you when you post a video. Just copy and paste it into a post to have the video show up

  I think he might be playing.
  
  However, I got a toy with a bell in it and Eddie HATED the bell. He didn’t tear into it or anything, but I got the stink eye whenever it got moved. It was a higher pitched bell so that might be why. You can always remove the bell and see what happens.

  yeah, I’m thinking he is annoyed by it, so I will give it another try and then if he still acts that way, remove the ball. Thanks for your replies!

  I would agree that he doesn’t seem to like the bell – maybe if you removed it he would be okay with the basket though!
  
  He is sooooo cute! What kind of bunny is he?

  I removed the bell and he is NOT acting like that with it anymore.
  
  bear mom> Not exactly sure. His mom is a holland lop, but they were unsure of who is dad was, so I have no clue what his other half is lol

  hahaha! I was waiting for him to be hypnotised when the ball was swinging back and forth. He kinda seems peeved but wants to conquer the pesky-bell at the same time.
  
  Where did you get the litter pan from? I’m asking for MimzMum as I believe she’s on the lookout for something like this.
  
  I’m off to view your channel for more Dane & Bunny videos now. : )

  Jersey> I just got it from Petco, it’s a dog litter pan!lol…Sunny needed a bigger one than what he had, and with the side that dips down low, it is more “open” to him. It’s just like the purina dog litter pans I think.
