I think I have cracked bedtime

For the last couple of years, bedtime for bunnies has been a nightmare! Wolfgang has been an absolute bloody monster. Too Gabriel for his own good (and he looks like him which has concerned me greatly, because we know that route is disaster

I have spent ages in rain and snow trying to coax the little ratbag to go to bed. I used to have to go out at 4.00 pm and block off access to his burrow and then we spent a jolly 20 minutes trying to get him into the hutch. All the time Gloria was sitting there quietly eating all his tea as well as her own.

Now it has clicked with him that it is a good idea to get in at the same time as her so he actually gets something to eat. I think it helped that I have started to use a green tupperware bowl every night. When they see me they come bolting over and shoot into the hutch. It is all over in seconds! However, I am worried that he is up to something else now!

You are soooooooo suspicious

Aww well done, it's amazing what they attatch things too. Berts knows it's bedtime when he hears Pauls electric toothbrush going, he hops off down the corridor...or he digs his hocks in and I have to get the dreaded Red cushion out, it chases him around the room, with me attatched to it for a few minutes, then he might surrender

Brilliant

Well done you

Gabriel hopes Wolfie is not going to be too well behaved in the future

Oh don't worry, I am quite sure that Wolfie's true colours will show through again and this will be a transient, although enjoyable period. He will no doubt revert to kind with the first drop of snow!
