I've read a lot about buns getting hurt feelings or getting angry with their mommy or daddy. I had never experienced this type of behavior...until today!
Last night during Betsy's playtime she started to chew and dig at the carpet. I firmly said "No Betsy!" And she stopped.....until I left the room. She stared again once I was out of sight. My husband clapped his hands and firmly told her no again. She didn't listen. So he clapped more, said no a little louder and moved the gate so she couldn't go there any more.
Fast forward to today. We had her out all day because we both had off from work. That little stinker ran into her cardboard bunny tunnel and stayed there ALL DAY!! Every time we would go to her, she would turn around. We would go to the other side and she would turn around again! She wouldn't let us pet her or even look at her! I actually put hay and water in her tunnel just to make sure she would eat in drink. Thankfully, she warmed back up to us by this evening. She is letting us pet her, eating hay from my hand and not showing us her rear end anymore!!!
