Cardboard...the bunny tamer

People who have never owned or been around a pet bunny always think they are so cute but in all honesty they can be little monsters sometimes. Luckily we’ve weaned Sawyer and now Sophie for the most part from chewing on everything. I’ve bought all kinds of toys for them to play with but of all things their favorite by far is a cardboard box with toilet paper tubes being a close second. I find myself trying to scope out boxes at work to nick for the little boogers. Kent threw away their box on Sunday because they had made a hole in the bottom and had literally stripped the rest down to the outside paper. I put out a new one and I normally cut holes in the boxes and but his time I just turned it on its side and in just a few days they have already made a mess of it. Last night they were making such a ruckus you could hear it over the TV and of course that is the first place they headed after I let them out this morning. Gladly the cardboard is a great way to deal with bunny curiosity, aggression, O.C.D. or whatever it is. I’m going to have to break down and replace the box that we have their tunnel connected to too. We added it to keep the tunnel stable because every time Sophie ran through it, it would roll around on her. We have turned that box on all four sides and I noticed last night that even with the box on the end the tunnel as gotten wobbly, it no wonder if you look at how much of the box is left. The only thing really holding the whole thing together is the little thin piece of paper on the outside of the box. I’m not complaining though, I can get cardboard for free and that keeps them out of trouble.
