In reply to: Josie 's message, "Bilbo slides all over the floor of his cage" on 10:20:57 04/19/02 Fri

I try to keep a routine with my bunnies except when it comes to holding. If they think that I'm going to pick them up and put them back in their cage or take them to the bath everytime I come close, they won't come to me. So, maybe every 3rd or 4th visit, I pick them up. And sometimes, I pick them up and don't go anywhere, just cuddle them then put them down. Keeps them confused.

My oldest and youngest do a lot of sliding around, especially at feeding time. It's so funny to see thumper get stretched up tall to the top of the cage and his little back feet slide right out from under him. He ends up on the floor of the cage, on his tummy and all fours spread eagle, like he just slid down some ice. It's sooo funny, especially the confused expression he always has...like "what happened"? But he'll always get up and do it again until he gets the treats. The baby will dart thru the house on the carpet and then hit the linoleum in the kitchen and he'll slide all the way across and into the wall or refrigerator. He's learning the difference b/w carpet and not-carpet

I've got one that's a little more timid and I usually end up hand feeding him whereever he's at. He's especially territorial of his litter box (still) and he'll stretch as far as he can stretch to get food as long as 1 foot is in that box. I just try to make it easy on him. He'll come out when he's ready to.

I'm leash training the baby. Got his first lesson in harness attachment yesterday. I've never seen such a sad rabbit until he got all tangled up in his harness and wandered over to me and stared at me like he was saying "will you please get this thing off me now?" Good luck with the leashing. My 2 older ones won't take to the leash at all.

Anyway, I'm rambling :) Have fun walking the bun, you really can get the looks from people!!
