This morning, when I went out as part of my regular routine to check on the rabbits to see if they still have water and feeds, I got the shock of my life when I saw Whitey’s cage was empty! I panicked and tried to search the garden to see if she was just around somewhere. Then I also checked the screen to see if it’s broken anywhere and I can’t see any tear or hole in it??? So I wonder how she was able to get out? It would be impossible that she was able to push her way upwards using her cage door because it would be too heavy for her to push.
After sometime, Jun went out of the bathroom and helped me search and finally he found her. The only thing inside her cage at that time was a round PVC pipe (about two inches in diameter) which the bunnies used to play with (like a tunnel) when they were still a month old. When they left, I forgot to remove the pipe but I never would have thought to look inside it because it was too small for her to fit in. So I just wonder why and how she was able to get inside??? In fact, I had a difficult time getting her out so I had to push her gently because she won’t easily slide out when I tried to place the pipe upright. I guess she was just missing her babies and figured she may find them inside the pipe. It had just been five days since we took the bunnies to their new homes in BP and maybe she was still feeling the pain …poor Whitey!
BTW, here’s the latest picture taken of Whitey - she’s cured of mange already but still a bit thin due to her pregnancy. I sure hope we could make her a bit chubby once again!
