Scamp Herding Weebles

More random rabbit toys. Here is Scamp herding some weeble like children’s toys. He spent ages rearranging them and throwing them around.

Scamp in the Snow

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Snow is a great enrichment opportunity for rabbits to dig and forage; but, my garden is not Scamp proof. So, if the bunny can’t go to the snow, the snow has to come to the bunny. Cue one washing up bowl full of snow, laced with rabbit food…

Random Rabbit Toys

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

The endless task of entertaining Scamp involves a lot of toys. It can be a bit expensive to keep buying new toys though, particularly when 90% seem to be either be ignored or eaten in 10 minutes flat. So today’s post is a tribute to the random household object. Here is a collection of Scamp’s random objects:

Left to right: Cotton reel, puzzel ball, blocks.

I think the cotton reel is self explanatory. The ball is a puzzle toy, unfortunately Scamp doesn’t seem any better than me at lining up the colours, but it’s made of hard plastic so bite-proof and easy to nudge around. The blocks are some version of giant lego. Again, hard plastic so fairly chew resistant and they have nice edges to pick up and throw (see outtakes below).

What random household objects does your bunny have to play with?

Outtakes

Scamp has a little bit of a hang up about toys on his rug, namely the only toy allowed on it is his treatball (which is generally not allowed off it). There is possibily some very logical scientific/food related reason for this related to the extra friction making the treat ball move at optimum volocity for treat removal, or he could just be a fuss pot. Anyway, he was not impressed by my attempts to line up his toys for a photo.

Scamp Antics

Do you ever wonder if they wait until your back is turned then play in all the places you thought were totally inaccessible before sneaking back to look innocent? The answer is yes.

I was going through the hundreds of snaps I have and here is Scamp caught in the act…

That’s the kitchen window sill, above the work top, excuse the mess.

Understanding Your Rabbit

Sometimes it can be hard to understand what your rabbit wants; don’t you wish they could just spell it out…
