Hey guys. I've noticed that Flower will play with anything she can fit that big ol' bunny muzzle around, whereas Maisie just won't play with anything. So we never buy her any toys, really. She has quite a few in her cage that we bought her quite a while ago, but she's just more intent on shredding newspaper as floor bedding (not litter), and going into her little hidey spot behind all the shreddies. She just never wants to play. I've tried quite a few kinds of toys, but can't seem to get her interested...whereas all I have to do is make Flower's little stuffy friend run around, and she goes CRAZY and has him chase her around!
Am I doing something wrong? Is it just Maisie's hormones? Flower is now the age Maisie was when she really underwent (is that a word? lol) a personality change due to hormones, but Flower's not displaying any sort of change like that at all. (She's still VERY clean with her house and as sweet as ever.)
I feel guilty bringing home toys for Flower and not really any for Maisie, but I know she won't play with them, so it's hard! For instance, I bought Flower a stuffy friend, but I didn't give one to Maisie because she's so dang territorial I thought for sure I would come home to stuffy parts all over her cage! (Is that a silly thought?)
Anyway, don't think I purposely don't give her toys, it's just that I've tried SO MANY things, and she just doesn't seem to be much of a playful bunny. Am I trying the wrong things??
Anyone have any ideas? :?
We did buy one of these, and Maisie threw it once, but the bell inside scared her a bit and she hasn't tried since. Maybe we should keep trying...
Flower never plays with it because she can't seem to fit her muzzle in the spaces...lol...my big little bunny!!
Anyway, later today (Wed) I'm going to go to a pet store near us and check out the bunny toys to see what I could get her. Anyone have any suggestions?
