        Lancelot is a funny little character. Makes me chuckle. I just found his food bowl half full of poops. He started off refusing to eat from a bowl. They scattered his pellets on the ground at the shelter, and told me he didn’t eat from dishes. I got him eating from a shallow dish, but he tips it over or scratches his pellets out and pees in the bowl every chance he gets. So I got him a nice food bowl from bunny rabbit toys on etsy.com. I guess he likes it so much that he had to climb up on it and poop in the bowl. It’s a 6-inch “table” with 2 bowls recessed in the table top. Guin doesn’t have any weird eating habits. Morgana leaves me the most perfect piles of poop exactly where she sits and eats. She is super good about that. Avalon doesn’t have any weird eating habits either. Just Lancelot. 

        Any other bunnies out there with weird eating habits?

          No weird eating habits, really. Except Bindi seems to think eating is a race and he always has to win!

          Bindi sometimes gets the perfect little poop piles too when he’s sitting and eating hay. Like a little pile of 20 poops, looking strategically placed. I call them “his cannonballs” and ask if he’s preparing to go into battle.

            My Bunny is so funny at food time. He literally recognizes the sound of his food bag being opened before I put my hand in the cage to feed him. He will stop what he’s doing and come running at me in order to get the food. He’s an indoor bunny and he could be in the bathroom, hear the food bag, run down the steps then jump up some steps just to get his food.

            He’s a cutie :3

              All of your stories are just too stinkin’ cute! My Olaf is a little bit particular about how his greens are presented. Give him parsley from the stem end and he’s not interested. Immediately turn it around to offer the leafy end and he’ll gobble it up, stem and all. He also stands in his water dish from time to time, completely content.

                Feeding time is definitely the cutest. Guin has learned from Lancelot to run circles around my feet, and then she makes a mad dash to her food bowl to await her pellets. Even Morgana, the most aloof bunny I’ve ever met, who barely lets me pet her, has started dashing up to me for her cat treat ball.
                Silly Olaf 😉

                  Jax is extremely food motivated which makes him easy to train for tricks and commands but very inconvenient in the kitchen. Every time I’m in the kitchen he follows me so close it’s tricky not to step on him. He’s always so hopeful he’ll get something. Stands up to check out every drawer or cupboard that I open and gets extra excited when the fridge opens. He’s learned which cupboard his hay and pellets are in and will mad sprint towards me if he sees me open it. In the mornings he practically head butts his cat treat pellet ball out of my hand and then races around pushing it everywhere with pellets flying that he walks over in his excitement lol.
