Our little bunny rabbit visitor is still here, not just that he is inspecting the gardening we are doing presently. This is building new garden beds after the big box elder was removed last month. I hope it all meets with his approval, today hubby was digging a hole for a small pond and not long after he stopped for the afternoon than Mr Bun came into the backyard via his secret entrance, and gave the area a good inspection. 10 minutes of looking around the garden to see all that has been done and he even noticed the dish of water I put out for him.
I laughed when I saw Mr Bun inspecting the pond, he’s not a shy bunny 🐰 he makes himself at home, and I make sure that Ruby is inside with me if I suspect that our bunny friend is in the garden. This afternoon I had let Ruby out to answer the call of nature and she was outside for ages, which had me freaking out, because I thought she might catch the rabbit. Thankfully the rabbit had managed to get out through the small hole into the front yard safely. I checked the security cameras to see where he was and there was a 10 minute gap between him leaving the backyard and miss Ruby getting outside. What a relief that was, I am terrified of her chasing the rabbit being a Jack Russell. Perhaps they are communicating psychically to each other when it’s time to go outside, lol.
That rabbit is a busy chap, he is always on the move, I can monitor him on the cameras arriving in our front yard and leaving multiple times a day/ night. He has his favourite spots to sit too. Must be great to be able to pick a garden and say, right I think I will have this one. Well he is going to have to sort that out with the two cats that also take shortcuts through our front yard, because they aren’t going to let him rule the garden. Let’s not forget the fox that dropped by last week. It’s getting to be a popular spot for wildlife and eventually there will be a turf war rodents versus felines.
I get a lot of pleasure out of the animals, though I don’t think miss Ruby is very happy about that. I get the look, from her. “You not look at cats or other dogs mummy” , “I am your baby “ . Ruby knows that she is the only fur baby now, after 5 years without any cats in the house, she won’t tolerate any other fur children at her age. So she knows she rules the roost, and that cute bunny is on notice.
I would love to know where the burrow is because I have been reading online that the burrow should be near bye. Canberra is teaming with rabbits and it turns out our suburb is very well populated with these cuties. We do have a large green belt surrounding us and the rabbit warrens are everywhere. These little guys have to contend with foxes in the neighbourhood too as well as roaming dogs and cats to survive.
