It is not uncommon to find the pellet bowl and snuffle mat flipped over on the ground – often with pellets strewn all around. Matilda has a bad habit of flipping bowls for some reason – maybe she just prefers to eat off of the ground? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After breakfast, it’s always worth checking to see if it’s possible to snag a treat (or two… or three). One good spot for begging for treats is by the kitchen, where (if they’re lucky) they can snag a blackberry! (The towel is there to catch the dribbles and juice that comes while eating.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After treats, the buns head under the bed to sleep for a while – but sometimes they will do a bit of exploring around the house, just to make sure nothing has changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they usually go under our bed and sleep all day, sometimes they will come into my office instead (but still to sleep). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chuck is a very heavy sleeper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Chuck<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If Matilda is there, you can almost guarantee that Chuck will be leaning on her in some way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a busy day of sleeping, it’s back into the living room for evening pellets (and possibly another quick nap), followed by the main course: the dinnertime salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Bunny<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After dinner the buns tend to relax in their area for a while – they are quite content at this point to just lounge around all night. But if they are lucky, they’ll be allowed back into the bedroom for “family time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Bunnies<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The buns don’t sleep on the bed with us, though – they sleep under <\/em>the bed – and they just jump on the bed (and on us) multiple times during the night in order to pester us for a treat (which they almost always get). There’s nothing like being woken up at 2am by a 7 pound rabbit jumping straight onto your chest while you’re sleeping! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of where they spend the night, the buns will be ready for the next day and their busy schedule of eating, sleeping, and generally being adorable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
