We went out and bought a dog crate last night from PetSmart. I know what some of you are thinking (Phil). No, we aren’t getting a dog. Our rabbit needed a new cage. Some of you have probably seen and heard the obnoxious cage we had him in before. Not only was it purple, but Amstel was free to move it around wherever he wanted since it was so light. Trust me when I say that he took advantage of the situation and moved it around often, which was never a quiet process.

Anyway, upon moving into the house I decided that this old cage would not be allowed in the house except for the basement. So when we moved Amstel over to the house he went straight into the basement. That was until yesterday morning. Before heading into work I went down to the basement to feed him and give him fresh water. What I had discovered was a flood that had mostly confined him to sitting on a telephone book. I moved him into a much dryer spot in the basement and decided that we would have to get a more attractive and less annoying cage that could be moved out of the basement. So that’s what we did last night.

Amstel is now on the main floor of the house in a smaller but better cage. He does appear to be much happier already. We’ll probably let him out of the cage each night for some exercise but we have to keep our eye on him otherwise he will quickly get into trouble. I’ve discovered so many chewed up wires during the moving process. Silly Wabbit!
