Sleepless nights and " Aww thats cruel " taunts ends in typical Moores Practical Joke
After several years of living with =^o^= Schneeball the bunny and having endured many sleepless nights , attention whoring and bold intelligence bordering on annoying.
Comments like " Aww thats cruel you should'nt have a rabbit indoors "
Unsympathetic comments like " Well get rid of him then "
" Well there are two kids in Bournmouth that might like him "
" Thats a suprizingly large and open plan hutch that must feel like a prison to him " ,
He he ok so that last one was a joke , but I was right to think that cousin Stuart would roll over with Baby Girafeter when he saw the Phase 7 modifications I made to =^o^= Schneeball's hutch , after all he is a Moore too , and we have have a habit of cracking cruel jokes.
On the other hand my cruel joke has taken a more practical form.
=^o^= Schneeball will returned from Barbaras to find a real life prison cell , the inside of the hutch of which now is reinforced with galvanised metal stuff to prevent late night and early morning chewing which disrupts my sleep , also the entire hutch has been painted in a light Grey emulsion and using a photo of Johnny Buckley at a fency dress partay back in the late 80's I was able to create a stencil that matched the shapes on the prisoners outfit he wore that night , these same shapes have been empressed.. =^o^= Schneeballs newly decorated hutch of which I decided to call.
Bunny Folsom
In recognition of Johnny Cash and his Live at Folsom Prison Blah blah.
I made the Black iron style prison bars out of former green plant stakes of which I painted with black W5 Shoe polish , so by the time I was done and I inserted =^o^= Schneeball's enammeled Tin mug and bowl at the time , Cousin Stuart duely doubled up on the floor.
I am a litteral man , colourfull and eccentric and anything goes , family must understand that nothing is out of my capability , but in the end the rabbit as always has the last laugh , and this time I fear it may result in the purchase of an entirely new hutch , never underestimate a rabbits teeth.
If anyone was to invent a muzzle for Rabbits they would be an overnight millionaire I am sure.
Phase 6 modifications
Here you can see the first partition between the Bunny dunny and the bunny Living area , this was the wooden one that eventualy needed replacing due to =^o^= Schneeball's nibblings.
Pics of Bunny Folsom will follow shortly.
e.g I was mocked by others that my Rabbit Schneeballs hutch of which I converted into an open plan space was too small and that it was cruel to have a rabbit indoors , despite him knowing no different , coments that his hutch was a prison.
I was also deprived sleep and sanity due to =^o^= Schneeballs Late night and Early morning chewings ( Result ) I LITTERALY TURNED HIS HUTCH INTO A PRISON " lol ! "

I Hop The Line , Obvious anti nibbling measures have been undertaken within the hutch , hopefully this means I can get some sleep
Digging up a Carrot field in a chain gang , =^o^= Schneeball in residence and it realy is'nt as bad as it looks , the hutch now has added ventilation holes in the dunny door and also the closest end in picture 1 , there are also three small holes at the back in the the Bunny Dunny section.
Notice that =^o^= Schneeball temporarily is drinking out of an enameled tin mug from the army surpluss shop in Croydon , this will be removed when I get round to replacing the Crystal Bunny bottle he snapped the end off , also the enameled tin bowl will be replaced by his normal one.
But I wanted Stuart to arrive fthat tea Tuesday evening and have a good larf at Bunny Folsom prison before I took the mug and bowl out , of course =^o^= Schneeball if he must protest from lack of food or water , he has the right to rattle his tin mug against the prison bars , E,hem! or should I say chicken wire.
Since Phase 7 modifications I have had to make severall more changes to the inside of Schneeballs hutch just to make life with this bunny bearable at night.
Phase 8 A thin slit in the back of the hutch and two pieces of wood to create runners for a piece of wood that slid in from the back to stop him getting into the Bunny dunny during the night and early morning with chewing.
Phase 9 The wooden partition between the Bunny lounge and Bunny dunny innevitably began to receede from =^o^= Schneeballs chewings and yet again I was kept up all night and morning , so I had my father make a sheet aluminium partition of the same dimntions that could be slid into the back slit that I made in an earlier phase
Phase 10 phase 9 modifications all went well for several weeks until =^o^= Schneeball managed to find a small gap in between two galvanized metal bracing that I pinned to the bottom of the living room side of the partition runner , only a gap of say 1 1/2 of bare wood but it was enough for him to get his teeth onto.
Luckily he declined from chewing on this during the early hours and late at night , and Phase 10 was the replacement of those two pieces of galvanized items with a single longer item that illiminated all chance of chewing.
The Enamelled bowl was removed the day after cousin Stuarts visit , but the mug remained until I bought a new Crystal bunny water dispencer , after he broke the last one shaking the front chicken wire with his teeth and claws.
Also I now have schneeball trained that he only goes to the Bunny dunny late at night and early in the morning or during the morning itself.
Now there is no possible way my Rabbit Schneeball can annoy me as I have covered all angles of attack , I can finaly live with him in harmony.
