Thumper & Flower were Derek’s moment of weakness, we went to stock up on supplies and came home with two bunnies.
Flower & Thumper
As Mars & Jupiter already occupied the garden we got to discover the fun of house bunnies. Flower & Thumper have a room upstairs and a large indoor bunny run, with a bunny door so they can easily come out and play. Derek made our bunny run, taking great care to listen to what the bunnies wanted. Thumper insisted on windows so he could keep and eye on what was going on. We used large cardboard boxes as tunnels and as Thumper likes to climb on things Derek made him a platform. With Thumper’s love of climbing we also had to fit a lid to the run to stop him jumping out.
Having house bunnies is a great experience. They are a lovely little pair, who entertain us with their antics. Flower is very sweet it is hard to do anything without him coming to help, he enjoys standing on our feet. He is not as adventuress as Thumper, and he often getting left out when Thumper goes climbing.

Thumper is much more serious, he will bang his bunny door when it’s time to come out. So we don’t get the opportunity to be bad bunny parents. Although, Thumper has a very naughty habit of banging his bunny door until we open it and then staying in the run for a sleep. His greatest obsession is getting into our wardrobes, open the door for a second and he will charge at it, the little horror has been shut in before.
Having house bunnies is very hard work, their fluff gets everywhere and the vacuum gets a bit clogged up. Flower and Thumper are great fun, it is hard to remember our home without a pair of bunnies scampering around.
Its not been all fun and games though and the hair dryer cable has fallen victim on several occasions to our little bunnies teeth and so have a pair of slippers! They also enjoy the odd nibble at the bed clothes, in fact anything hanging over the edge of the bed is at risk.
