Mornings frequently start out by waiting for breakfast on this rug. Timing is important; sleeping in by the human servants is not appreciated!
It is not uncommon to find the pellet bowl and snuffle mat flipped over on the ground – often with pellets strewn all around. Matilda has a bad habit of flipping bowls for some reason – maybe she just prefers to eat off of the ground?
After breakfast, it’s always worth checking to see if it’s possible to snag a treat (or two… or three). One good spot for begging for treats is by the kitchen, where (if they’re lucky) they can snag a blackberry! (The towel is there to catch the dribbles and juice that comes while eating.)
After treats, the buns head under the bed to sleep for a while – but sometimes they will do a bit of exploring around the house, just to make sure nothing has changed.
Although they usually go under our bed and sleep all day, sometimes they will come into my office instead (but still to sleep).
Chuck is a very heavy sleeper.
If Matilda is there, you can almost guarantee that Chuck will be leaning on her in some way.
After a busy day of sleeping, it’s back into the living room for evening pellets (and possibly another quick nap), followed by the main course: the dinnertime salad.
After dinner the buns tend to relax in their area for a while – they are quite content at this point to just lounge around all night. But if they are lucky, they’ll be allowed back into the bedroom for “family time.”
The buns don’t sleep on the bed with us, though – they sleep under the bed – and they just jump on the bed (and on us) multiple times during the night in order to pester us for a treat (which they almost always get). There’s nothing like being woken up at 2am by a 7 pound rabbit jumping straight onto your chest while you’re sleeping!
Regardless of where they spend the night, the buns will be ready for the next day and their busy schedule of eating, sleeping, and generally being adorable.
