We interrupt our normal Bunday morning programming for this breaking news bulletin: A rabbit has barricaded himself under the living room sofa and is refusing to leave. Negotiators will attempt to lure the rabbit using a giant cookie.

We are the 99 Furcent!
LOL While tactically the human’s approach was successful, it seems to have been a failure strategically. Going under the couch results in getting a large and delicious cookie, scritches and the door to the undercouch area being held open for me.
Watch the next video of Pigpoke being caught for his carrier—he does NOT like being picked up!
His two parents are very considerate of him. Remember: if a rabbit can squeeze in a place, it’s good for thumbing it at the man! Nobody is as good at hiding as a rabbit!!
Some of our buns liked to get under a chair and tear into the cloth that hid the frame work. So I had to stuff old blankets and pillows, use boxes, under and/or behind all the furniture and a hutch, to keep all of them out. It was fun when I needed to move the couch and a chair to make room for the Christmas tree. I had to reposition all the blankets, boxes and pillows. The buns loved checking out in the newly opened space.
When that dutchy bun was half way out from under the chair, I wanted to gently put my hand around its bottom and herd it out.
Bribery, ah I’m familiar with the many uses of bribery to get results. Just has to be used on an infrequent basis or it becomes an expected reward. Loving buns reverse eyeliner. Usually see black on white, but this is white on black.
If I had barricaded myself somewhere, I have say, using a giant cookie to lure me out would likely be effective.
It had better be a chocolate type cookie, or I’m staying under the couch.
I can easily be bribed with chocolate, especially with dark chocolate covered cashews or dark chocolate orange creams. However, I’ve always had trouble eating chocolate bunnies. I know, it doesn’t make sense.
Oh, it makes sense to me.
You could lure me out with a cookie, but not one of those timothy-hay thingies.
One of my friends in grad school had a plan to deal with her oral exams. She knew that one of the faculty on her committee had a thing about zoomorphic food. So she was going to take in a bag of gummi bears. If that prof asked a hard question, she planned to say, “Take back that question or the bear gets it!” and would mime biting off its head.
That got weird real fast.
that cookie is weird. Looks like it was made out of some wood composite.
Is this a specific cookie for bunnies?
Yes, it is made out of compressed timothy hay.
Had no idea bunnies were carnivorous or blood thirsty.
Poor Timothy, I knew him well…
Me too. In fact, I’m willing to test that proposition RIGHT NOW.
