So last evening, me and my sister had to do some cage switches in order to put Kailua back in her old cage because she was obviously having problems with the other one... so we put Jude & Solo (my 8 week olds) in a bottom cage. There is about a 2 inch gap in the wire where a feeder would go, and we didn't think that they would escape if we put a toy in there to block it up.... Boy were we wrong!
I walked into the rabbitry this morning to feed, and here comes a little bunny zipping around the corner, dancing as he moves... He's so excited!!:biggrin: Look what I did, Emi! I knew immediately that it was Jude - didn't even have to look at his ear. I look at their cage - no Sissy... and then here she comes around the corner, prancing after her brother.
The ground is a complete mess - the fresh picked grass that we are drying, there are stalks of it lying all over the floor. There's some wet spots, poohs everywhere... The toy no where to be seen.
As I take in the scene around me, I see another blur of white, and a larger bunny comes bounding towards me, too!!:shock: I immediately think, Oh no! It's one of the boys...but Ray's in his cage, and he's the only buck I have on the bottom cages.
I peek around the corner to see Chancey's door OPEN. Mind you, the latches on these cages are quite tricky, I mean they either latch over or under, but you still have to push/pull pretty good to latch/unlatch it. Chancey is Jude & Solo's (and Glory's and Nameless's) mamma...so there's pretty good understanding why she got out - she wasn't gonna let her troublemakers have ALL the fun. :rollseyes
So the bunnies are happily pawing at my feet, sniffing me, and I don't really know where to start... but I know that I should probably get them back in their cages, so I do, after little effort.
I feed and water everybun, and as I am turning around from attaching Magic's bottle, I see Jude... halfway out the same hole, and he escapes right in front of me!! I caught him before he could ponder off too far.
Needless to say..I'm shocked at Chancey's breakout skills... I'm hoping that the feast I put into Jude & Solo's cage will tide them over and they won't think about escaping...but that thought is too good to be true.
So, that's my wonderful story of the morning!
