I bought a tablecloth, white plastic, and was putting it on the table in the kitchen and Nybble went absolutely crazy and ran into the baby-gate which swung open, and then he refused to leave the hallway. I picked him up after about 20mins of hallway time and put him back in the kitchen, where he started thumping and going crazy again. I've now removed the tablecloth, and hopefully he'll calm down. I have someone in the kitchen to keep a constant eye on him. Any ideas what he is afraid of exactly??
I have now installed a proper bunny barrier into the kitchen! I have gotten rid of my old hand-made wood and chicken-wire barrier, and bought myself a baby gate. A great gate it is too - it's not screwed in, just pressured against the door frame. When no one is about I lock it, but if I'm in the kitchen then I leave it shut but openable. Nybble has learnt that sometimes if he prods the gate it will open, so hopefully it's a much easier way of getting the buns out into the hallway for some exercise!
Nybble is so incredibly messy. Whilst Pixel will always pee nicely in the corner of the litter tray and groom himself; Nybble likes to pee beside the tray every now and then, and also seems to have gotten his hind legs and bum fur a bit matted. I try my best to pull or cut out the matted hair, but he hates it and squirms away. Silly rabbit!
With the help of a friend I managed to get Nybble on a leash, and placed him in the garden - where he got very excited and ran around like crazy. Unfortunately, he seemed to love the bench, so got his leash twisted around it a few times. I'll definitely try and get Nybble out into the garden more often when it's nice weather! I'm not sure if Pixel will be too scared, but I can give it a go. In the meantime, I found this awesome video on CuteOverload:
