  I ordered pellets through amazon a few weeks ago and I got two separate bags, so I left one bag in the amazon box unopened because I didn’t need it yet. The box has been sitting in my room, on the bird cage shelf, for weeks. Tonight, Powder found it and proceeded to chew open the edge of the box, push the plastic air pocket things out of his way, chew open the pellet bag inside the box and to get the pellets out of the hole in the bag, he was pulling it very quickly/forcefully across the room when he needed some to come out. So, after laughing at this little rabbit dragging the 5lb box rather violently across the floor (how I knew he had the box, it was loud haha), I had to get up and take the box away so he didn’t eat the entire bag of pellets.
  
  So don’t leave the bunnies mail where they can get it!

  No, was getting Stickers ready for her medication so no pictures. Powder wasn’t willing to wait on dinner for his girl to be ready though, obviously. Lol He is too smart for his own good. First, he figures out how to open the doors. Then, he figures out how to open the mail. I need to get his door opening on video now I have found my memory card!

  Haha! Do you think he could smell the pellets in there? Or just started randomly chewing on that box and happened to hit the motherload?
  
  I’m thinking he’s got a sixth sense.

  I’m not sure. He loves chewing boxes, so he might have just been chewing to chew and when he broke a hole in it could smell them. I have to always keep the pellet bag hidden away cause they like to find it and pull it to them through baby gates and chew them open. They are very good foragers.
  
  AndHenry – I will post the video when I get it I just have to get him to not get camera shy

  We had to put the pellets in a can so Ellis can’t get at them. Every now and then he sits at the foot of the stairs and looks longingly up at the can. He had been chewing on the timothy hay bag as well, but we keep his bale full in his cage, so he’s decided it’s easier just to get that instead.

  Lol too clever! Lulu gets her pellets at bedtime and when I go up the stairs to fill her dish, she will sit patiently at the bottom of the stairs looking up. If I take to long she will meet me at the top of the stairs. Then when I go downstairs I have to walk so carefully to avoid accidentally kicking her when she circles my feet waiting not so patiently for her nom noms I’m pretty sure that pellets are a bunnies version of crack lol.

  I second the pellets as bunny crack! My Dottie gets so excited when I give her her morning and evening pellets that at times I worried I was feeding her too little (even though she has a constant mound of hay, gets tons of veggies a day and probably gets wayyy to big of an amount of pellets anyways, about a 1/4 a cup in the morning and another 1/4th at night) for how excited she seemed hopping all around me and scrambling to get as close as she can to the bag and bowl as I’m filling it before I put it down for her. Then she starts binkying around like crazy after I give her her pellets or after her dinner veggies. Its pretty adorable.

  Henry gets ‘craisins’ thanks to YOU! (and Roberta) giving me the heads up! Best ‘tip’ ever – thanks Stickerbunny!
  (Henry may LOVE my hubby – but if I have a craisin he loves me more (for that 10 seconds) ha ha ha ha).

  Haha I bet Powder thought he could get away with it! Sometimes if I don’t give Yeti his treats fast enough he’ll start to climb up my arms to get at them.

  So craisins are a good bunny treat? Lola loves bananas but I have been looking for something smaller.

  Craisins are awesome, just watch your hands and fingers so they don’t get bitten off
