I get confused every time I see the word "chuffed" because i have no idea if becoming chuffed is a good or bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's mostly delighted or pleased, although it can occasionally mean the opposite, especially in the military. I believe it started off as "proud." This bunny is delighted and proud of his new rug.

I'm amazed he knows how to use a litterbox and not just poop everywhere. That's probably how he earned his nice rug!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Apparently it's a thing you can train them to do with a bit of effort. You cna train some birds too.

Chuffed is slang for very pleased in the UK. More specifically it's when something good has just happened to you that's causing you to grin uncontrollably like a lunatic.

As my crude father would say: "I'm chuffed to buggery!"

Although buggery is a bad thing on its own, when combined with chuffed it's like a +1 enchantment instead.

It's the most negative-sounding positive word, isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

A very British trait.

Satisfied. Smug but not in a negative way.

[–] gmtom 10 points 3 months ago

Especially when someone gets "chuffed to bits"

[–] AlpacaChariot 2 points 3 months ago

Up the chuff = good, down the chuff = bad

That bunny has a better living space than I did all through college.

[–] jaybone 8 points 3 months ago

That bunny is my manager now. He drives a nicer car than I do.

They have a mat, on a mat, on a carpet...

This is why I suck at interior design. It all seems so asinine to me.

I bet he's the best Bunnies and Burrows GM and his surname is something bun-punny resembling Mercer 😉

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I love this game so much 🐇

[–] ericbomb 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean at the risk of being "whooshed"

The rug is to prevent staining the carpet, and if I was them I would actually have a plastic layer between the rug/carpet.

The hay mat is going to be MONCHED.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If it were contained in some way, that would make sense to me, but it's free to roam as far as I can see. As for the hay mat, that still seems strange to me, but fair enough.

[–] ericbomb 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

So he looks litter trained based on the box, so my "guess" is it's to help keep any related stains to this carpet, same you don't wanna put you litter box on a carpet for a cat, also if all his toys/food are on the rug, he'll probably stay on the rug most of the time.

Just a guess though.

I've got a couple guinea pigs. one assumes the tarp is the limit of his territory, whether or not there's fencing.

the other one regularly goes wandering, but respects the areas I've said are off limits. and she knows she has to get back to her territory - the tarp - to get any treats.

so it's entirely possible this bunny recognizes his "room", as defined by the new rug.

[–] BreadOven 5 points 3 months ago

The hay mat is for eating/playing.

[–] NOT_RICK 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think I have that same rug

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 42 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How do you feel about carrots and leafy greens?

[–] NOT_RICK 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I feel I should probably consume more of them. Wait, am I a rabbit?

Is this Bugs’ Basilisk?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Eeeeeh whats up doc

[–] Wizard_Pope 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Nah carrots are not really that good for rabbits. Maybe you are a human after all. Yipeeee!!

I love your username. It’s both the name of a starship maneuver, and of adjusting a Starfleet uniform 😁

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! I picked the uniform adjustment for my profile pic.

How do you train bunny to use litter box. How do you train cats to use litter boxes, for that matter.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Rabbits I’m not sure. Cats naturally want to bury their leavings, so they actually train themselves just fine. Show them where it is, keep it clean, and 99% of the time that’s that.

[–] Anticorp 16 points 3 months ago

You just toss the cat into the litter box after setting it up and they're like "this is fucking rad, dude! Thanks! Now leave me alone to do my bidness".

[–] desmosthenes 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

tbh when I had them they’d just shit where they wanted to

[–] desmosthenes 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

find little balls of doo doo everywhere

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They are different, the little balls are hard poop, which they will not eat. I think cencotrope are only on their butt, but I am not sure.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

They drop both. The ones that look like Coco Puffs are regular poop, the ones that look like little glossy grape clusters are the cecotropes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I have never litter trained a baby rabbit, but they generally just poop where there is hay.

Sometimes it is also helpful to pick up their droppings and put it in the litterbox, but it is largely not necessary.
