Sprout Tree Bombed!

The Sprout tree arrived & Thumper tucked in.

Every Christmas the bunnies always get a sprout tree.  In the past they have enjoyed the challenge of eating the sprouts while trying to keep the tree from moving. Some have worked well together realising that if they both go for a sprout on opposite sides & at the same time they get their food.  However, this year the sprout tree unimpressed. Initially no one could be bothered with it. Let’s see how Apollo & Daisy got on:

Apollo totally ignored the tree.

Last year Apollo was scared of the sprout tree as it swung & hit him.  This year he did make a bit of progress with it. He ignored it initially but then very tentatively he sniffed it & that was that! As for Daisy:

Daisy tucked in for a while but being an old girl she quickly tires of anything with too much effort.
This was the sprout tree after the first go in each pen. Unbelievably just a few nibbles.
Thumper was happy to tuck in, Katie was not.
Once again it didn’t last long. Perhaps because Thumper is getting an old boy & maybe he finds it too much effort.

Let’s see how the youngsters got on:

It was Molly’s first sprout tree & she approached with caution.
Eventually she braved it & had a good sniff with Peanut by her side.
Then it was scoff time!

If you’re wondering about Toffee & Poppy. With Toffee being blind & a bit doddery it wasn’t a good idea to give him a moveable tree & Poppy at the moment is having a little tummy trouble & I can’t imagine sprouts will help! In conclusion I am of the mind that my bunnies have just got too darn lazy to make any effort in getting their treat.
