My rabbit has eaten my uggs 😳

I can’t even be angry because I’ve obviously left them out I’m just completely 😳😳😳 I feel slightly sick.
Tell me your animals have also ruined expensive things so I don’t feel so completely stupid

Three sky remotes have had all buttons removed, one faceless baby Annabelle , multiple books, a MacBook charger (£75 😮), a rug which was being stored under a bed, tsum tsums, flip flops...
Don't you just love house buns.

I once lost a chinchilla inside a sofabed.

Rodents do enjoy wedging themselves places.

wherewithal that is so funny seeing your bun wedged in like that! 🐰They are truly inquisitive mischievous creatures!! I have never seen so much destruction in a room from one bun. I mean that skirting is a master piece, pure art!! So symmetrical too!

“Ignoring his findings” - love it!

The answering machine is on top of the shelf, he may have been trying to get up there to erase a message from the vet.

Although we now usually make the drapes inaccessible when the little tailor is in that room, he does so love to run around them playing hide and seek when they’re down, we don’t have the heart to forbid any quality time with them.

BTW don’t you prefer your drapes with frilly chewed edges? Wink

Wherewithal- what is that bunny doing wedging itself between the bookcase and the wall? They are truly strange creatures. I lost mine the other day only to discover he’d wedged himself behind an open door and was perfectly contentedly staring at the wall. He’s been a devil for measuring gaps with his whiskers to see if he’ll fit (just as they’re supposed to do) and then ignoring his findings and just trying to squeeze in anyway. And he’s not a small bunny.

Tasty books kept unnibbled with the help of repurposed glass shelves and fireplace screens.

My guineas are utter angels compared to the rodents I had as a child/teen.
They:

Ate shoe laces including the little plastic aglet bit, shoes in the hall or shoes on your feet. Feel a tug, look down, no laces.
They just left a crispy green end to your lace.

Onion skins , (yes I know they can't have onion but they didn't read that page)

Flour bags (paper) I thought they had little septic eyes till I found them covered in 'dust'

Some of my DSis art paper (indigo dyed) so they peed blue Shock

A good few houseplants

The Himmy pair ate their wool carpet bed and when the other piggies' carpet slipped into their cage they ate that too.

Books (mainly the covers)

My piggies now don't free range I have too many random cables they'd electrocute us all .

IME it doesn’t matter what lovely tasty wood you source, or nice rabbit friendly chew toys you spend a fortune upon, the bunny will always prefer to wear its teeth down on something of yours. All such toys have largely been ignored. I now get boxes from the supermarket for CurrentBun to play in and chew which he loves, but he’s older now and better behaved. In his younger days he much preferred skirting board and sofa to cardboard box.

I could have written that post myself littlemisscomper! The skirting in sons's room is stripped and I mean stripped; you have to see it to believe it!

Trouble is now, bun is being neutered in a week, so he can (hopefully) be bonded with another rabbit. Just hoping and praying that new bun is going to be less destructive (somehow I think not!)

My bun once chomped through the headphone cable on my iPod because I was listening to music rather than paying attention to her weird snorts.

Uggs are hideous and bunnies are awesome so it all works out ok! Grin

Seriously, I had house rabbits and they absolutely trashed everything, but they were so worth it. Weeing on the carpet (right next to the darned littertray!) was the worst thing because it soaked right into the underlay and nothing would get rid of the smell. They also chewed the doors and skirting boards, ate great chunks out of the carpet, pulled books off the lowest shelf of the bookcase, went through more cables than I care to think about and had a mission to the lemon plant - It made their kisses taste lovely and lemony but it can't have been good for them or the plant!

My dog used to eat our clothes when she was little. She particularly liked my bras, and also tore a giant hole in my favourite, expensive dress, which she had to dig through the washing pile to find and destroy.
She would also eat the faces of the kids soft toys, and they would come to me in hysterics with a faceless teddy which belonged in a horror film.
She is grown up now and is an absolute dream who only chews my slippers!

Years ago when my DD was little she lined all her barbie dolls up at her hamsters cage. Sitting against the bars.

In the morning the dolls had no hair and the hamster had created a massive bed for himself! 😂
