How do your buns...

Show you that they are angry at you?

Each night Daisy has to have his Baytril - this means a two-man capture and administer process.
He knows when its coming...as we both Lurk in his area and I start fiddling with syringes etc..........

Well the last week he has taken to taking action when we approach. He hops into his litter tray (which is covered) and Stamp! And Stamp! And Stamp! At least two - sometimes as many as four! Just in case we didnt hear him the first time, and showing us just how annoyed he is at this disgrace!

Shadow does the lunge and huff sometimes with a rather loud grunt too! He does warn me before doing it sometimes by lifting his head and showing his teeth, but this usually comes seconds before the boxing front feet and lightening quick bite so no time to move out of striking distance!
E x

I miss the little strops Bertie used to have, Stuart's so much more passive, but when we're playing chase, he'll often grunt at me, the hop off like a nutter! When I try to groom him, he kicks and kicks, and it hurts

Luna lunges and grunts and full on attacks Thistle is much sweeter...he will give a little tug of me...or nip me...and then when he finally gets away he will dig and tug at the nearest material ha ha...sometimes he will stamp. But Luna is by far the worst of the two lol

Bella growls at me. Ratty is so placid he doesn't do anything and Lily growls and boxes.

Pebbles just runs away if something happens that she doesn't like, Domino gets a proper sulk on! When they stayed at my friends house (hetty from here), he wouldnt even look at her! if she gave him his food he would turn his back to her, and he wouldnt eat infront of her. Even now if I do something he doesnt like, he just turns his back and puts his head down, as if "you have really disappointed me mum"

Jelly...well you know if you have annoyed her!!! She will stamp, box me, scratch me........pretty much everything! x

Marshall just runs away from me and hides, then gives me evils if i happen to find him hiding under something. Although more often than not i cant find him anywhere .... it like he teleports!

[b]If I shout the crazy gang out they all coming running out of there shed up to the fence if the only thing I have for them is a nose rob or a chin tickle little stroppy Jazz will run off stamping and kicking his legs

I'm loving these stories

Bertie used to box, growl, go off in huffs for hours at a time, but never bite. We would sometimes have stand-offs that could last 1/2 an hour, where he'd turn his back on me, then I'd turn mine on him, and we'd keep looking over respective shoulders to see if the other was looking, it was hillarious.

Needless to say, it was usually me that caved in ..

I will never forget the one time Pebbles has bit me, it was so funny. It was about...2 years ago and she was on my lap while I was talking to my mum, I was sat on a chair. And she was looking around, clearly wanting to get down, so I said "In a minute Pebbles" (as if she understood!)

and then she looked at me, and then bit me right on my thigh, i went "owwwww!" as you do, and she then tucked her head under my arms as if she was ashamed! then started grooming me! i do love her!

When Mike carries Helen to brush her or trim her nails she nips him all the time and so he now put's a thick towel over his shoulder before picking her up and now she nips the towel and not him
We are lucky really as they are all quite good for giving them medicine or brushing them except Murphy and he will do all he can to get out of it, he hates everything, being brushed, trimming his nails, cleaning his bottom being handled full stop so he will just not stand still and he will keep turning round and if that doesn't work for him he will try and bite you

I love this.

Im loving all these stories....ha ha ha ha ha . People who dont take the time with buns are really missing out.

It makes us really laugh every time he strops!

Joey does a combination of thing. The usual foot flicks, and after a vets visit his favourite way to get back at us is tiddling on the rug as protest. He goes into a sulk if we do something he disapproves of, either in his hide out box or just sitting in one of his 'areas' looking looks of disdain of you attempt to touch/stroke him etc.

Bless Joey! Wwe have plenty of holes in rugs etc. where Stewie has disagreed with a visit to the vets

Thumper doesn't really get angry with me any more. Even after she's just had a bum bath and I'm towel drying her, she tries to climb up on MY LAP to get away from ME!

The only thing I notice now is her back legs vibrate if you are bugging her while holding her.

I don't think she can be bothered getting in a strop but she has a look that could kill tho!

A vet trip is the worst time, catching the lil git up. All hidey-chairs have to be tipped over, any furniture he might get behind pushed to the wall and then it's a matter of softly, softly catchee bunny..... or not!
He scoots and does running stamps that I'm sure must hurt his feet. Then when capture is inevitable he stands his ground and growls.

The worst thing though is THE LOOK!! I'm busy doing some mundane job and suddenly I'm aware of his presence; I can feel his eyes boring through to my spine. I turn around and he's sat a few feet away giving me evils!
What the hell for? God only knows and it's so unsettling. I look at him and he glowers back. It carries on for several minutes and all the while I'm wracking my brain trying to recall what I might have done to upset him
Then, it's as if he knows he's acheived what he set out to do and he's off. Hopping merrily away without a care in the world, perfectly happy knowing he's still got the POWER!

Well we have a sulky boy today!

Yesterday we were fitting new french doors (well matt was while I went out with the girls for the day) so for his own safety the boy had to be put in his pen in the front room (he isnt allowed in there free range without supervision).

A friend of mine popped in during the day to bring lunch to the workers and went to give the poor sad looking little bunny a head scratchy. What did she get for her troubles....a serious box, a grunt and a thump! Oh dear.........problem daisy??

Chewy usually grunts at anyone who comes near him (unless said person carries noms).
And when something upsets him on his territory he pouts in a corner until we get rid of it (too much hay on the floor that fell out of the hay rack for example).
