This is my post for #freewriters 2240 prompt embark on a big adventure hosted by .
The little rabbit is growing like a weed. He sure eats a lot, and he does just like the quail do to us. I do not know why they want to do this but with the quail and him as soon as you clean the cage, they can not wait to mess it up. Every morning and evening I take the paper up from the rabbit aquarium, wash the bottom with soapy water, rinse and dry it, and lay more paper.
This morning I cleaned everything and laid new paper, I already had his veggies cut, and all I had to do was place them in his dish. By the time I got them in the dish and walked back over to his home, which is about 8 steps, he had already pooped and peed on the new paper I had just put down. He is a little stinker.
I put the top back on and noticed he had been chewing on the plastic mesh and almost had a hole big enough to embark on a big adventure, he stood on top of his house and got up on his back legs to reach it. I now have a heavy board over it.
It is a fear of mine that he will get out or get away from me while I am holding him or God forbid, when we are gone and the dogs get him. I can not stand to even think about this happening.
There is no wonder he is growing so fast. I am still giving him goat milk twice a day, I know he is big enough to be weaned but I had some that I froze in an ice cube tray and I want to use it up. Twice a day I fill his dish with garden veggies and also give it to him twice a day, plus my husband thought he also needed regular rabbit food and hay, he is eating both of them. He is a well-fed bunny.
