I worked on it all day, and she was coaxed out from under the bed and into it by 3:30.

Not exactly love at first sight, but after a few tweaks, she has eaten happily and had a visit from her grandparents. They like it.

Pam, that looks wonderful! I'm glad you were able to configure it to your liking. She'll prob be a little cautious at first. I see what you mean with the tile pattern. Very familiar! Has Sammy developed some more beauty spots on her hiney? Is she offended I asked?

Well, I think it looks wonderful but sounds like Sammy is feeling unsure still eh?
Does she have trouble walking on the more slick floor part. Jack has never and will never be okay with walking on hardwood floor and tile. He will just sit and stare and Vivian from across the living room for hours even though he wants to join Vivian in her little hide out in the foyer.

Do the mats slip around? Maybe she's feeling a bit unstable on the floor? In a previous set up that was similar to yours I went to carpet stores, and they had a pile of extra carpet samples, (those squares used for display) and I put those through the pen. Jack was fine with that as even he touched the linoleum, he always had one foot on a rug and he was happy with that.

What was her flooring before?

EDITED TO ADD: 

can't remember what  her set up was like before...but if this is much more space, some bunnies just freak out with that at first.  Jack did.  Where as Rucy would explore within the same day.  Jack took forever to brave it and when we moved and he got even more space...well he was a recluse for awhile.  Here are some of the photos of his scaredy cat bunny self.

"I don't like change, I don't like change, I don't..."             "Come on out Jack! Look at all this space!"

Rucy continued to try and coax him out to play in all the new space, but she'd give up to go play, leaving him behind with this sad  face.

He did eventually explore with a litte more help from me (but it took him a month!) and then he was happier than ever.

So, some bunnies are not fond of change even if it's a good change.

  Petzy, why wouldn't "Beka" be comfortable? I'm confused. (which happens easily, I might add. LOL)

yes, too much referencing and late at night I posted but I was referring to this that Beka27 posted in your other habitat thread

"It's my birthday. I'm expecting a new set-up and pics uploaded before my birthday is over. Get going on that Pam!"

Thanks Jersey, but I would like to have some of the good-looking habitats from on here, a different one for each day of the week....

  ..... or Samantha can rearrange at will.

Pam will walk in the room in the morning and she will have dragged the entire sofa into the pen, along with a tv and microwave oven...

I'm so pleased you guys asked. I didn't want to bump it myself, but I could use a bit more tweaking help.

Now that I've found out my "new" camera has a movie function, I am taking much better quality movies than before. Only problem now is that I can't get it to upload correctly. I am trying to put up a video from late June and one from today showing the habitat, with Herself in it. I made a few changes, but it needs more. This is my second reply so will post now and upload next.

Having trouble uploading to Photobucket, so will only post today's video if I can. She is no longer lying down in the litter pan. Is right next to it on seagrass matte. Watching me do this. Scoffing quietly under her breath,,,

I'm talking in this strange slow way, but it's because I am concentrating on the camera as much as what I'm saying.

Ok, Photobucket is being unbelievably slow, but I resaved the video to be fewer MBs, so maybe it won't take as long now.Wow. The quality went from gorgeous (at 130 MB, taking a week to upload) to this crappy low bandwidth version. Sorry guys. It did load fast.
