[Petbunny] Jackie

[Jo McCoy]

Yeah, I understand completely.  Bunz & Sadie had a huge supply
of wood toys but much preferred the woodwork, doorframes and
furniture.  When the contractors came to redo my bedroom and
bathroom, Sadie had only been gone for 3 months and I had warned
them they couldn't make any derogative remarks about what the
room looked like but the look on their faces as they looked around
at the damage said it all.  The good news is that every time they went
to the vet, he commented on how beautiful their teeth were.

Hand feeding her may be the answer.  You know that bunnies are supposed
to get what they want!
