Fun story...

So we had a rabbit we recently put out side that is constantly thumping through the night and had gone off feed. We were worried and thought we should move her back inside since we did not know why she would make so much noise and why she had stopped eating. We had a put a towel over her cage but that didn't help much. We even replaced her water bottle with a crock and it didn't make a difference. So in the middle of the night my dad went out there to check on the rabbits and he had left the light on and she didn't thump again during the night and she had eaten when we checked in the morning. It seems that if we leave the back porch light on she does not thump and eats her food. We experimented a little bit doubting that the darkness was the cause but it seems to be. We have a rabbit that is scared of the dark. We had moved most of my rabbits outside in an attempt to get them settled before the hot summer. We managed to move everyone outside except for babies and mothers seeing as the weather is being unpredictable and we don't have an outside heater. We don't know if we should move this scared rabbit back inside or not but she is really ruining our plans to have no rabbits inside if she has to come back inside. Oh well maybe she will grow out of it when she gets older, since she is still a young rabbit.
