I really would’ve thought the weather was a bit too cold for animals to be getting the nest-building urge.  Or perhaps our rabbit is just getting ahead of the game.

We always thought she was a he.  It appears not. His/her behaviour is much more in keeping with the female of the species, as these nest-building pics show:

just let me gather some of this straw

and run round the hutch like a mad bunny

is this enough straw do you think

and do you think I look very cute

or just a bit silly perhaps

.

She spent a long time with that straw in her mouth then didn’t quite know what to do when her food bowl was replenished.  Quite funny watching a rabbit trying to eat with a mouth full of straw then working out what she had to do to get food!

Edit: silly me.  Didn’t think I had any nest-related makes to show you but I’ve found one - obvious and current, too, as it’d make a great little Valentine’e Day gift:

the love nest door or wall plaque

.

As usual, it can be personalised with additional or alternative wording and is available to buy here http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/hangingplaques.html for the very reasonable sum of £6.99 + P&P
