Rabbit In Your Headlights
I have had a couple of not so good days. Sleeping unwell and depresed. But hopefully it’s getting better. Granted I did go to bed too early yesterday, but I slept like a goat in a haystack. Which is well. And today I was forced to leave the house because I was on feeding duty at the playground. So that’s not so bad.
Seeing the girls is always good. Also there is a ton of bunny babies at the moment.
It’s always fun to walk up to a cage and see a row of little faces looking out at you with anticipation.
I was attacked by one of the bunnies though. One of the grownups. When I opened up the bunny house its cage was open and it was running around on the floor. That wasn’t a problem though, I picked it up and put it back in its cage. And then went about my business. Later I came back to feed all the bunnies. And I opened up its cage but couldn’t find its food bowl. So I put my hand into the cage and pushed the bunny to the side. And then it did some kind of karate attack on me. I’m not even sure what it did exactly. It spooked me though, I have never had an aggressive bunny on my hands before! It didn’t hurt me or anything, just a minor shock to the system. Maybe it was annoyed that I had robbed it of its precious freedom. Or maybe it thought I was trying to hurt it when I pushed it aside. Or maybe it’s some kind of psychotic killer rabbit who hates all humans. All equally good possibilities.
So take care of yourself out there. Ypu never know when the bunnies will come for you.

Ha ha – I’ve had bunnies in the past, and they’re often territorial with their cages. A few bunnies also have more aggressive personalities – my female bunny, for example, would get up on her hind legs with her mouth open and teeth showing, and growl at whomever stuck their hand in her cage. She meant business, too – was very capable of drawing blood if you didn’t remove your hand fast enough.

I’ll bet it’s an offspring of one of those “killer rabbits” in Monty Python. You know the white ones that go flying thru the air and attack people? You were sure lucky to escape with your life!
On the other hand, rabbits will sometimes jump in the air and kick for no good reason other than they just feel like it. And you just happened to be in the way. They don’t call them “Thumper” for nothing, you know.

And I thought bunny rabbits were kind, sweet and docile.
Man, the things I learn from this site!

Erica – Haha, I guess I should be thankful that I escaped without a scratch then. I’ll be on my guard from now on!
Debster – Right, now where did I leave my holy handgrenade?!
Maybe they are training to become ninjas?
