Speaking on behalf of the Rabbit Editorial Board today is Johnny.
Which of the following items are considered edible?
A. Drywall
B. Cardboard
C. 2x4’s
D. Linoleum
E. Carpet
F. Electrical Cords
G. Table Legs
H. Upholstery
I. Magazines/Phone Books
J. Plastic parts of a vacuum cleaner
K. Pant Legs
L. Sandals
M. Steve’s wallet
N. Our friend Jack’s hair (while still attached to his head)
O. All of the above
If you answered O, you may know or be familiar with our species. We take great pleasure in chewing on anything we’re allowed access to. This makes for interesting discussions with human members of the household as to what is appropriate to eat and when. I mean, how am I supposed to differentiate between pine needles tracked in from outside (which I think I’m not supposed to eat) and hay (which I am supposed to eat)?
I say that everything I can reach needs to be considered fair game. My life is entirely too complicated to spend time sorting out “good boy, Johnny” and “no! how did he get that!? no, Johnny, bad bunny! drop it!”

Of course, I appreciate the problems with this. Since we’ll eat almost anything, any area we’re allowed to hang out in needs to be completely cleared before we can come out to play. It’s been a learning process for our humans, but I think they’re getting it.

Seriously, if Johnny can teach his humans all that, then his humans could have a little homo sapien and not damage it.
Yeah, well, unfortunately it was a trial by error... luckily no one was electrocuted in the great cell phone charger debacle (we lost 2 cell phone chargers to rabbit nibbling before we figured out how they were getting to it). And, as we've said before, you get in trouble for locking your kids in a cage and throwing food in for them while you're away. ;-)
So far I like this post the best, because I am mentioned in it. And I am a gigantic Douche.
Well... you said it, not me. ;-)
