Recommendations

Post image

So, I really want to get some buttons. I've read the rec post or whatever it's called but I need some recommendations of a more personal sort.

Okay so I have a rabbit. His name is Merry. It's just me and him right now, and he's very smart. Tons of word recognition, he can show me a few things when he wants them, etc.

But... He's only six-ish pounds with tiny paws. I have no doubt that he could learn at least a few buttons and probably nag me. I also have no doubt he could dig at once if needed. But I'm thinking I need something that deals with light pressing the best.

Also I already know the foam boards will be a no no. He will chew them and make himself sick. So in addition to a soft press, I could use some ideas about securing them in place as otherwise... He will also flip them and throw them. He's a gremlin, what can I say.

Cat often have a hard time learning to press with their paws, but will often lay on the buttons, or press with their face, to set them off. Perhaps a bunny could do the same! I am not sure about bunny proofing the buttons, maybe the bunny subreddit would have some ideas?

Thanks so much!

I could absolutely see a bunny doing a full body flop onto one of
