Merry Christmas!!!
First, a word about the "fourth bunny" pet bed - Hubby bought it for Toby, thinking he would like to sleep in it when he's up on the party deck. Well, he didn't, and Toby stopped going up to the party deck ever since that thing has been placed there. We gave him a few weeks to try it out. He didn't like it so we gave it to Penny since she likes to lay around a lot. Well, you know how that went.
Hubby bought a pet bed shaped like a turtle too, and it's green, he bought it meant for Penny. I asked him why he bought that one for her. He kinda got his words caught in his throat. So I added, "was it because she's kinda slow?" And he cracked up. It's only funny because it's true.
I bought the Magnus from BunSpace for Penny. She eats everything super fast so I thought it would be productive for her to work for it a little. I bought this toy for her to "find" her treats and pace her a little.
It's a really cool toy, it's very well made, and the concept is fantastically made for pets. Hubby and I took bets about which bun would "get it" the fastest. We both agreed Toby would get it fastest. Kirby would get it but probably not bother with it. Hubby thought Penny would destroy the box and knock it upside down before figuring out how to lift the lid. I thought she'd eventually get it, but would do a considerable amount of destruction first.
Here's what happened. Penny sniffed around and immediately knew there was food nearby. She didn't quite get that it was hidden inside, but she knew it had something to do with the wooden lid. So she yanked it off and started to tearing into the circular lid, chewing the rope handle and the wooden knob. She didn't even seem to understand or notice that the treat was actually in a recess that the lid had uncovered. Kirby swooped in and ate the treat after Penny did the work for him.
Insert hysterical human laughter here!!! LMAO! I knew Kirby would be too royal of a bun to be bothered to play such a silly food game. But I had no idea he'd make Penny do his work for him. What a smart bun!
RIP Cottontail cottage. They tore into the original second floor cardboard and I replaced it with the 3rd floor's cardboard (so the cottage technically had no roof after I did this). The buns took a few months to peel the cardboard up piece by piece but it finally got the point where I didn't think it would hold their weight anymore. The Maze Haven was constructed last night for Toby.
I was trying to get Toby to go explore on the second floor so I put some homemade Toby cookies on the 2nd floor by the entrance hole to lure him up. Toby is so smart that he figured out the Maze Haven is shorter than the Cottontail Cottage; he can periscope and grab the cookie off the window hole of the 2nd floor, without having to actually enter and go upstairs. :biggrin: What a smart bun! He grabbed 3 cookies placed in 3 different places by strategically poking his head in. You can't lure him if he is determined that he's not ready to go into a new cardboard house.
Anyways, the bun Christmas was a lot of fun. Very entertaining
My best friend even got them wooden carrot chew toys. They are very happy buns.
