Bullet who for the last 5 dayshasnt given a fiddlers figabout me in the nest checkingbabies , making sure theyare being fed and everyoneis fine , Today decides she hasfound her Mommy Genes, Now Ihave delt with miserableDutch when it comesto the Moms beingoverly protective , Dutch canbe really snotty and snippyto say the least , What I wasntexpecting after so many daysof " ya what ever " ,was her reaction today .

Bullet Decides she needsto be the Momma bearfrom Hadies , Here I amwith my arm up to thearm pit in her nest boxchecking babies ( thats when i found outthe little buggers at 6 daysold can really bite ). poking around makingsure no bodies , andALL of a sudden i hear a sharp squeal , Ipop my head up looking to see who soundedoff like that ,hmmmmmmm curious everyones fineand looking at me , ALL of a suddeni fell chomp chomp ," whatthe Heck "" I look downand heres BUllet all1 1/2 pounds of her latched ontothe side of my hand like sheis the pit bull momma of alltime ! , I shake her off andproceed to keep checking thinking its afluke thing , ya huh suuureeit was here she comes again , HaveYou ever seen a pound and ahalves worth of teeth coming atyou full tilt ,scariest darnthing I have seen in a long time let metell you , I pulled my hand backout slammed the lid took a stepback and just stood there ,she comes backout all pleased with herself. and I am standingthere totally bewildered , Imstill trying to figure outwhat shook me up moreher reaction or myreaction to her LMAO .
 
First off OUCH! Secondlyit sounds likeshe suddenly decided enough was enough and she can take care of themjust fine. Doesn't like being checked up on anymore or maybe the otherbun told her she was a disgrace by letting you check on them soeasily...lol!

Sorry, Gypsy, but that really made me laugh.Having a Dutch myself I can just picture the scene as she launchedherself at you. At least you know that she can be a good Mom (and havethe teeth marks to prove it!)- Jan
 
Lighting reminds me of my ND who is the samesize. Man, when she lunges for you, you're ready to run. All thatconfidence must be backed up by something, and I don't want to find out!

And my hubby wondered why I stopped picking her up when she was in hercage. He was like what's she going to do? She's the most gentle beastever! Puts in his hand, ignores the lunging threats, and CHOMP! And thewhole time I was explaining to him the concept of cage territorialityin a young, unfixed rabbit!
 
Gypsy, I know it's not funny, but the way youtold that story made me laugh! You could write abook! Hope yourhand is not too shredded!
