Archived from groups: alt>pets>rabbits (more info?)
Nibbler has a great memory for the layout of things. She immediately
goes to anything new and investigates and she gets visibly annoyed when
things in her cage aren't in the "right" place, even when we only moved
them an inch or so. Yet she seems to have poor spatial perception - she
frequently overshoots her target when she's jumping around and she
always seems very disappointed that I won't get in her change with
her... (she doesn't seem to realize I won't fit...) do your bunnies do
this too?

Also, what do bunnies see and think when they look into a mirror? There
is a mirror right behind her cage and she frequently stares into it.
She never seems scared. Does she know it's her? Is it a bunny that
won't come play? Or is it an unintelligable blob?

I put a big mirror right next to Maxs cage. I dont know what he thinks of
it, but Im sure its more intersting to look at than the wall. Thats gotta
be worth something.
