The only pet we have in the family is Pilchard, our rabbit. He lives outdoors in a hutch and has a separate run where he can mooch around and eat grass. In the summer months he spends most of his days in the run - or escaping into the garden/the neighbours garden/under the decking. In the winter however it's so cold, dark and horrible that he rarely gets a good run around.
Today I felt sorry for him so let him come into the house for a while. The kids love him, although I'm not sure the feeling is mutual, and want to stroke him and pick him up. He is not exactly the cuddly sort and definitely likes his own space, but he's come to expect some form of limited contact with the kids.
We brought his bowl of food in, which managed to get spilt on the floor. Pilchard eats 'Wagg Bunny Brunch' - a highly nutritious and tasty food for rabbits, or so I am told, this 'brunch' contains some flaky looking bits and some brown lumpy bits. Rabbit droppings were beginning to appear and soon I found it hard to differentiate between the rabbit food (the brown bits) and the rabbit poo...nice.
