A Room for Jeffrey

This summer one of my daughters married, and the other headed about 50 miles away and is living in a dorm of university.  The minute she began her college adventure, I decided to rabbit-proof her room, so that her three-year old Angora rabbit, Jeffrey could hop around.  I removed all the electrical cords from the outlets and put them away.  My husband cut pieces of plexi glass and used vises to secure them to the sides of the bed.  Jeffrey liked to hide under the bed, but once she is under there, she refused to come out, thumping her feet and waiting to chomp with her teeth.  I put the bottom of her chinchilla cage on the floor, provided her with both her water bottle and a bowl of water and rabbit pellets and timothy hay.  I let her free and she hops around all day until it is time for bed.  I then show her the bottom of the cage, encourage her to hop into it and into her box and secure the top. I noticed her nails were a mile long, so today we went to the local pet store, but the groomers only do dogs and cats, so we went to our vet, and the tech cut her nails.
