I'm thinking of renaming our rabbit (Lucy) Sheba the destroyer... would that be bad for her self-esteem? The first week we got her she chewed through my laptop power cord, but then we got wise and but cord- wrap around all our cords. However, she continues to move from one room of the house to the next, destroying any valuable items she can find. Baby gates do not keep her out, oh no. She can leap a gate in a single bound. Yesterday she descended on our Scrabble game, which I rescued, but I'm running out of storage space that is counter-level or above! She also has taken to "re-modeling" her cage, i.e, dumping and throwing her food dish and litter box. Adam bought a really strong magnet to attach the food bowl to the bottom of the cage (cage floor is metal) but somehow she outsmarted that...
Also, Max and Malcolm invented a new game yesterday...Max, who is flighted, flies to the window and watches for any potential dangers (a dog, a hawk, a leaf blowing in the breeze, etc). Should he spot one, which happens at least every 5 minutes, he announces it loudly to Malcolm, who sounds the alarm with his earsplitting screeches. Good thing this new development has occurred to keep our apartment a danger-free zone, because before all this commotion, we just had cougars stalking around like crazy...
You know, in a wild place like Indiana, you can never be too careful. Maybe we should look into getting a few birds too...
