Honeysuckle's revenge
This morning Anita’s Honeysuckle jumped the three steps down
and over the dirty laundry basket barrier and into Anita's studio. In a matter of
seconds she nipped a Mac power cord into six pieces. It was plugged into the wall
at the time. Rabbits love live cords. I don’t think there’s been actual
research on this, but it is a phenomenon common to lagomorphs, they seem to
love the tingly jolt of live wires. You can give them a special extension cord for
their chewing pleasure (which we HAVE done: on the floor, in the hutch) and
they will ignore it, but plug it in and they are right there ready with their
incisors. We do know this, which is why she is banned from spaces with cords on
the floor.
The last Mac cord Denis repaired caught on fire, a little bit.
Maybe safer to buy a new one?
Pets and babies. Babies and pets. They create a lot of
expensive shenanigans and we (especially grandparents) happily afford
them.

We've decided Honeysuckle would make a good electrician's assistant. She could clip wires without even shutting off the power.
