Picture this: It’s a normal Tuesday evening; I’m watching a
movie on Netflix and eating cookies. I
place the package of cookies on a bench in my living room and get up to go to
my bedroom.
I haven’t even made it out of the living room before Jojo,
who was previously lounging about by his doghouse, gets up and goes hopping
over to the cookies. As I’m about to
shoo his little butt away, I see him stand up on his tiptoes, place his face in
the package of cookies and see his little tongue dart out and lick a cookie.
It’s only when I’m taking away the package do I notice the
tiniest bite mark, and see that part of the cookie is now missing. In short, Jojo not only licked a cookie, but
he took a bite out of it as well.
If you didn’t know, bunnies are notorious for having a sweet
tooth. If it were up to them, they would
eat nothing but fruits and treats. Jojo
is no exception to this; in fact, he could be the poster bunny for rabbits with
sweet teeth.
Raisins, bananas, oranges, apples, mango, papaya, the list
could go on. It doesn’t matter what kind
of fruit it is, Jojo will inhale his serving and still demand more. Because of this, I have to be careful
whenever I’m eating fruit around him.
One sniff of a banana and he’s standing by my feet, nudging and
demanding I give him some.
Being the impressionable bunnies that they are, Rigby and
Pilot have modeled after their big brother, and have also recently taken to
demanding treats from me. While their
method of begging is a little different, they’ll just stick their noses out and
stand up, they won’t stop until they have been given something sweet as well.
The point here is don’t eat fruit unless you’re prepared
to share, and make sure everything is located three feet or higher from the
floor.
