One of Derek's friends from work, Alison, often donates apples for our bunnies.  Little does she know the fun that is had with a simple piece of fruit.  Here is the tale of one of those apples.

Pipsie is the first to get her little hands on the fruit.  She is a big fan of apples, happily chomping and peeling the skin away.   She is a messy little rodent leaving lots of bits of apple peel for us to clean up!  Apples are definitely a favourite treat of Pipsie's.

After Pipsie it's the gerbils turn with the apple.  They enjoy nibbling at the exposed bit Pipsie has made. Although Millie seems to be missing the point, after having a good nibble of the stalk she did eat some fruit.

Barley has no problem tucking into her share of the apple, happily munching at the pre-peeled bit, courtesy of Pipsie.  Over the half hour they were out playing the three little gerbils munched their way through quite a bit of apple.

 

Finally the apple goes to the bunnies. Jupiter likes to have his share of the apple cut up and hand fed to him, he only likes fresh apple and he definitely doesn't like it covered in bedding.  Occasionally Mars has a bite though this time he was happy with his Curly Kale. Hand feeding our little bunnies is a wonderful experience and something we enjoy every night, apple chunks being a special treat.
