An Insight Into Rabbits
Yesterday I went to my local shelter to visit a bunny (Paige) I'm going to bring home this weekend. There is also another rabbit (Joshua Aiden) in the room I let her out in, this rabbit is typically very dominant and cage territorial. Over the last few weeks I've been spending time with him as well in order to socialize him. So
I took Paige out and she was just sitting on my lap being cuddled. Joshua Aiden immediately let known his
disapproval. He stomped around the cage, chewing on the bars, and watching Paige intently when ever she moved. When I left for the day I put Paige back in her cage and petted her, as I opened the door of the small animal room I saw Joshua Aiden standing up on his hind legs, clearly saying;"What about me?"
A lot of people say that rabbits are stupid animals who like carrots, but really they're so much more. Joshua Aiden was clearly showing jealously and anger. Just last week Toshi had run upstairs and under the bed in my room, I shooed him out. Once he got downstairs into his playroom, he let his annoyance be known: he ignored me and refused to take
a apologetic blueberry. And of course they show there love for us and each other as they groom or show thier contentment as they flop on their backs in the middle of thier cage.
