Last night I was giving the buns some freshgreens. All of the buns have a separate bowl from their pelletsbowl/J-feeder. The greens bowls are plastic and only go into the cageswhen they get greens. We're short one bowl due to breakage, but we canusually find somthing suitable.
For some reason Brindle had a fit. I had given her a small corningwaredish for her greens and she started flinging it all over the cage.Well, Benji thought this looked like fun so he started throwing hisplastic bowl around. I open their cages, uprighted the bowls, and putthe greens back in them. As soon as I closed the cage they both startedall over again. I open the cages removed the greens and bowls and leftthem on the ledge outside their cages. I figured they just didn't wantanything to eat right then. They both sat a the front of their cagesand pushed their noses out toward their bowls as far as they could. SoI walked over and offered them both a piece of romaine. They both tookit out of my hand and gobbled it up and looked for more. I put thebowls back in their cages and they started flinging the bowls aroundagain. Meanwhile the other bunnies are behaving and munching awaybetween giggles.
Well, I did the bowl-in bowl-out a few times and finally gave in andhand fed them both until their snack was all gone. Talk about spoiltbunnies! I gotta get some heavier bowls.
