legs as trees

[tomato]

Nothing delights Maureen more than for me to be in a standing position.

When I get up from a chair,she jumps up from her resting place and either circles my legs or rests between my legs.

She takes no precaution against my walking. Sometimes, I don't know she's under me, so she gets inadvertently kicked.

From the foregoing, I infer that:

1. She carries an instinctive desire to live in the forest.

2. She thinks my legs are trees.

3. She isn't afraid of my legs moving, because trees can't move.



What do you think?

I love the idea .

I'm not a rabbit expert but from what I've read here my guess is thatshe's being possessive; she thinks you're hers and she's circling youto try and make sure you don't get away, same as resting between yourlegs. I think you've been claimed .

Welcome to the forum by the way. How old is Maureen and what kind of rabbit is she?

Perhaps you're right...it's a nice thought.

Maureen is an unusual name for a bun

Rowan, maybe you're right.

I'm keeping Maureen for a friend, so I had to look on the papers to answer your question.

She's an8-month-oldDutch Angora.

How many people years are there in a rabbit year?

Is Maureen an adult or a child?

 

[Rowan]

I don't know for sure, it's justa guess. Legs as trees is definitely more poetic .

8 months is like a teenager in the rabbit world, I don't know exactly how many rabbit years fit into a human one though.

How long are you looking after her for? Has she been with you long?

I'm not sure what a dutch angora looks like. I'm guessing black and white and fluffy?

Stephie has a bad habit of hovering around my legs when I clean her cage out. So I always had to be careful where I step.

One rabbit year is supposed to be the equivalent of ten human years, so she is a little over 9 1/2 "years" old.

Hello, Kate!

I've had Maureen since Christmas and I'll keep her until April.

You're right. Dutch angoras are black and white.

I tried to find you a better picture of a Dutch angora.

Hi ,

It sounds like Maureen has taken to you, I'd imagine it'll be hard togive her back in April. Is she one of those Angoras with really fluffyfaces or just a fluffy body? I've heard that whichever breed typethey're a lot of grooming work.

South Korea hey.Are you Korean or are you just living/working there?

Rowan, here is the picture of a Dutch angora which I promised you:

I'm from the United States.

I'm an English teacher in Korea, and I'm watching Maureen for another American who is currently travelling.
