As me and my sister approached the door of the rabbitry tonight, we heard something inside and immediately knew a rabbit was out. Open the door, switch on the light to reveal that Mississippi's cage door is shut, lock un-done, him nowhere to be seen, pooh and shavings EVERYWHERE!
After calling around for about 4 minutes, he comes crawling out from under Willow's cage bottom holding a green piece of paper. I take it from him, and say "Is this a letter?" He looks at us. "Guess what it says?" Pleading eyes. "You're Grounded!"
As if that wasn't enough, he somehow broke into Autumn's cage; her lock is broken, but it still works. I remember someone on hear telling me not to be surprised when he learns to open cages, but I have a hard time with this lock (it's like most on the wire cages, the wire J looking thing that clasps the door in place, and this one hooks over the top. With enough Sippi-jiggling, I'm sure it's easy to manage
) And apparently it was.
We shut every cage door this morning and locked them all. I swear I locked Sippi's, but I can't remember. All I know is for a fact that Autumn's (Savannah's cage was open too, must have happened from the jiggling??) and Savvy's were locked.
Now comes the bad part. The condition of Autumn's cage and herself: shavings spread, fur everywhere, she has missing fur, some little red spots and lots of bare skin, obvious nip marks. She was obviously "raped". Poor girl.
We can only hope that she isn't pregnant, and that his "thing" didn't reach her, although her area was red and puffy (what does this mean?). She's not that much smaller than Sippi, so if indeed she is pregnant, we can only hope that everything goes ok.
On the litter fact, she has had four litters before, so it's not like she's never been bred before. She is on the chunky side, hence why she has been on a diet; she'll continue to be on this diet if she's pregnant, so the kits dont grow to big.
Well, there's Sippi's bad-boy adventure....he's offically "locked up" in the jail now....he's in loads of trouble. We're not sure who to blame about his cage-locking, us or him. It could of been either of us. Definitley not our fault he got into Autumn's cage though.....this boy is just asking for it!
Thanks,
Emily
