Here are some things about Thumper:
1. He lays on the air vents, I can always tell when because the air pressure goes up in the other room, then I yell "Get off the vent thumps!" and the pressure goes back down.
2. He can never come directly to you when you have something for him, he must circle something and then come to you, either a chair, a person, a table etc. and yes he is fixed.
3. Before he was free range I bought a cage and while building it I rested the box against the wall to see what the cage would look like and to use it as a guide. There was a life size pic of a rabbit on the box and He would look at it, Thump, then go to look at the back of the bunny but was perplexed at the fact that there was NO back, there was no bunny either, just a pic. But he couldn't figure this out, he was very p*ssed.
4. I have a myriad of names for him, including (but not limited to):
- Thumper
- Lord Thumper
- Tumpie
- Tumpie Rabbit
- Booby (the one I use CONSTANTLY)
- Baby Booby
- Baby Booby Rabbit
- Baby Wabbit
- Tumpus Rumpus
- Baby Rumpus
- Baby Booby Rumpus
- Lumpus Tumpus the Baby Rumpus
- Booby Rumpus
- Booby Baby Rumpus the Lord Tumpus
- Booby Booby Booby (and many more saying it real fast)
- Lord Alowiscous Thumpus the Third
- Booby Rabbit
I actually use all the names I have listed on a daily basis, I know I need mental help you don't have to tell me.
5. I actually role play with Thumper and tell him that him and Frannie need to "get a place of your own" and that Thumper needs to "meet other bunnies his own age" and similiar crazy stuff.
6. Thumper, more so than any other bunny I have ever met (and I work with the rescue often, so I see many) knows a great deal about how to make himself comfortabe in any situation. He knows all the spots in the house (his area) where there is a nice draft, wherever Thumps is laying you will feel a draft of air if you put your hand down there.
7. And believe it or not, he actually untied my shoes while I was watching TV once, he loves to naw on my laces sometimes and he often pulls at them, thus the untying.
8. If Thumps was a kid he would be the one who has all the other kids doing stuff for him.
9. If he was an another animal he would be a sloth.
That's it for now.
