At the moment one of our rabbits, an elderly blue British Giant named Eenie, is rather poorly. We have therefore brought him down from the Hutch (the outbuilding where he usually lives) and into the house for some TLC. This involves making sure he is clean, has no bedsores, and is eating and drinking properly. Every other day he has a bath.

Rabbits usually enjoy these, especially having their fur blow-dried afterwards! Eenie certainly enjoyed his bath yesterday, and managed to polish off a carrot and a pile of parsley afterwards.

He did however wriggle a bit when we tried turning him over to dry his other side. At this point, Florence, who had been watching the proceedings with interest, intervened very vocally.

Eenie went quiet at once and did as he was told.

Well, we learn something new every day. I'd had no idea that our Florence speaks fluent Rabbit....
