Well THAT didn't go well...
Mar. 22nd, 2007 08:30 pmWhen I got home I let Frisco out into his pen (made of 24" high grids) and fed them both veggies on opposite sides of the fence. There was some sniffing and spraying, but when she tried to bite his butt thru the wires I put up the cardboard shield.
I spent some time petting her, and then went in his pen and sat there while he mostly stayed in his cage and ate hay, and came out a couple of times to tentatively approach me.
After about half an hour I left him loose and protected (I thought) in his shielded pen and came out to watch some TV. About 15 minutes later I heard some scrabbly nails on tile and thought that maybe Frisco was running laps. But then it happened again. I ran into the kitchen and found that Pepper had somehow gotten into his pen and they were fighting! I grabbed her out while Frisco ran and hid in his cage. I don't see any wounds but there are some decent sized tufts of fur from both of them floating around.
All I can figure is that Pepper somehow got thru a 4" gap at the end of the cardboard, climbed up on the trash can and made it up and over the fence! I forgot that this is the incredible ladder-climbing and swimming bunny. I've blocked that gap and moved the trash can. I spent a little time petting everyone - poor Frisco won't come out of his cage though he flattened out with eyes closed for a good petting.
OK - that's not exactly the beginning I was hoping for...
