So I have this senior Californian Doe. She is a little over a year old. She is handled frequently, she just never has been a very loving girl.
So I give her the daily treats, she pushes them in the corner, then dumps the bowl with her other treats, goes and sits in the corner and turns her head. I leave, go to the side of the barn, and look thru the window. From the time I leave to the time I get to the window it takes me no more than 3 seconds. In that time she has gotten up and is eating all her treats. I stand there for a full 2 minutes watching her eat. She pauses for a minute to chew, looks up, sees me, actually spits it out, runs and lays down in the corner and turns her head away.
Tell me this rabbit is not actually consciously making a decision to be an obstinate pain in the rear...
