In my reading over the years, I have developed the impression that rabbits love to chew wires and "danglies" because it is reminiscentof roots hanging from the roof of their burrows in nature. Being the fastidious creatures that they are, rabbits can't resist tidying up, whether it be thetrue roots oftheir past heritage, or the "modern" roots of electrical wires, computer cables, orTV cables in our homes.
Is thereanything in your experience that may suggest rabbits chew wood moldings and furniture because their teeth may ache, as in children teething? I've noticed that as our Missy ages, the destructive chewing has diminished greatly. It just can't be a maturity thing, whereas the absence of aching teeth/gums could account for the change in behavior.
Some animals communicate at decibel levels we cannot fathom.Bats, for example, emit high pitched echo location sounds, some of which are audible to us, others which are not. Elephants produce rumbling in their heads that travels for miles, enabling herds to maintain constant touch with one another, yet, we are unable to hear any of those sounds.
Some of us have shared some uncanny communicative experiences with our buns,and are advocates of "talking" to them as is they truly do understand us. Is their anything in your experience that suggests they maybe making and/or hearing sounds that are not audible to us? Do you think it is possible that they may have the ability tosense to our thoughts, or feelings(electrical energy?) in some physical manner? If so,what experiences/evidencecan you offer in support of that contention?
Curious to read your responses, experiences and thoughts on these matters.
