I really thought I was, but after last night I don’t think I’m cut out for it.  Me and Carl went to bed about 11.30 and 12.00 we were shooting downstairs after some loud banging noises from the kitchen.  Colin was sat in his cage (as we shut him up at night) with both ears in the air, his eyes wide with terror stamping his feet.  Bunny’s only stamp their feet when they are either angry or frightened, and with the look on his face it was clear it was the latter.

 He calmed down a bit while we were there so went back to bed, when the stamping started again.  He doesn’t stamp very often, and its usually once, but he was doing it over, and over, and over again, i couldn’t just let him be on his own, I was worried about it.  we went down to see him again, and let him out of his cage for a run round the living room.  He was being so cautious sniffing everywhere and generally not being himself. 

 Carl wonders whether he had smelt a fox on the back garden or something, as our back door is broken slightly and leaks it would be easy to smell the outside especially for a bunny with a sensitive nose…

 We decided to move his cage in the living room and shut the kitchen door, and went back to bed about 1am.  He stamped a couple more times, but gradually stopped, and i was happy he was safe I finally went to sleep.

I was so anxious for him though, cause unlike a child a cuddle wont make Colin better, plus not knowing what was wrong with him really worried me – what if that was a kid?

He seems fine this morning, and is racing around the living room as I speak, so it obviously didn’t spook him too much.  I hope we don’t have a repeat performance tonight though…..
