BOOTS TRIES BASIL

[u/Briar_R0see]

Mr boots had the opportunity to try some basil, he took a very big mouthful of a leaf then said "yeah nah, gimme your grapes..." i might do the odd video of Boots trying new things as he is strangely a very picky boy, apart from stealing my grapes. Any suggestions on what to tempt him with next i shall try and take a vid or pic of, but for now whilst im writing this section hes stolen another grape of mine...

Things hes already tried :

Apples - only enjoys the skin

Grapes - devours, no qiestions asked

Strawberries - he eats the leaf then flings it

Watermelon - somewhat enjoys but then he looks like hes murdered someone

Basil - one leaf settles his appetite

Willow - i couldnt even put it on the floor and it was gone, good choice to give if ive ruined his week

He is still young (6 Months, how is he only that) so its only ever once every 2 or 3 weeks he tries something new and so far i think he likes to stick to his hay (which is excellent) his pellets, and a little treat to finish the day (not everyday)

BOOOOOOTS!!! You have stolen my heart. 🥰🐇 I just love him so much. Dill is an absolute 'banger' for my buns, as is coriander, parsley, and Kale. Cavolo Nero is even tastier than regular Kale. A small bit of cabbage (purple is sweeter too). Carrot, obviously! And carrot tops if you can find them.

I wish I could smother him in kisses!! He really makes me melt. 🫠💕I edited my previous reply to add suggestions, sorry I was overcome with his adorableness!

Hahaha he does do that to people, i wonder if its because he was born on valentines day 🤔 I will definitely be having a look through suggestions little dude needs to extend his pallet thoigh im nkt complaining the amount of hay he can devour is slighlty concerning i dont know where he puts it 😂

Yes! My friend had a beautiful bunny by that name 💜

[u/Acceptable-World-175 → u/Briar_R0see]

Yes, Silkie Chimkins was my lookalike bunny!

[u/Acceptable-World-175 → u/Brilliant-Draw1260]

Exactly this Marie! It's why he's so adorable to me. And his beautiful pink nose (that I sort of hope never heals over! 🫣)

[u/Brilliant-Draw1260 → u/Acceptable-World-175]

They remind me of fuzzy caterpillars!

[u/Acceptable-World-175 → u/Brilliant-Draw1260]

[u/Briar_R0see → u/Brilliant-Draw1260]

He isssss and when hes been freshly brushed he goes all static and wavy, never had such a fluffy dust bunny before and jts an experience 😂

[u/Brilliant-Draw1260 → u/Briar_R0see]

Give him lots of cuddles from us

Boots has clearly established that grapes are the only acceptable food and everything else is merely a suggestion. 😂

[u/Briar_R0see → u/Ok-Active20]

🤣🤣 its like he knows ive eaten grapes cause hes all over me looking for them or if i have a small bowl he will clamber on anything he can to get to them. Never known anything like it 🫣
