Social Life
Dust Bunnies are very
prolific. There is no such thing as ONE Dust Bunny. Left to their own
vices, dustbunnies will reproduce at alarming rates.
Dustbunnies like to use
stereo-systems as their own personal Singles Clubs. Dancing usually
takes place on the older models with a LP turntable, as the laser show
of the CD drives have been linked to Fur Cancer in studies conducted at
DBU.
Believe it or not DISCO
is still their favorite music. If you find any dancing on the head of
you needle, please remove gently and place off to the side so they can
catch their breath.
There is now a new "Take your Dust Bunny to Work Day"..
If you do this, make sure you only bring back your home Dust
Bunnies and not the ones from work. Although, the ones
at work may like a nice holiday.
Dustbunny
care:
Care for dustbunnies is
very low maintenance.
Feeding:
Dust Bunnies will find their own food. They have a tendency to turn
vegetarian - if you do not wish them to eat your houseplants you may
wish to gently wipe them off the leaves with a gentle but firm "no".
Dustbunnies need a quiet,
dark place to make a hutch or home, under beds and dressers are the
ideal spots. If you wish them to find their own space, don't be
surprised if you catch them crawling the walls and hanging from the
chandeliers.
Dust Bunnies prefer small
hidden places where no on looks.
When giving you Dust Bunnies a bath, make sure that you have the safety net
put on. This way your Dust Bunnies will not get sucked back into the wash
or go down the drain. They enjoy congregating in pipes and Router Rooter
may hurt them.
Now that the heating season in here, make sure that you have collected
your Dustbunnies off of the heaters and registers. Burnt fur does not
smell very good and it does spook your Dustbunnies.
When using a dehumidifiers, please pay
special attention to the coils. Dustbunnies like to
drink from these and may become too wet to move.
Gently wipe them off and place in a dryer with cloths.
They will collect on the lint screen and then can be
released.
Health Care:
Unlike many pets, Dustbunnies do not need inoculations or
veterinary visits. If your Dustbunny begins to look peaked, build it a
nest of laundry lint and in a few days your pet will be looking fine and
frisky.
Making your
home Dustbunny friendly:
If you are
missing an item, check the Dust Bunny hutch. Unlike Raccoons
who will actively look for goodies, Dustbunnies will only take what they
can get easily especially anything left on the floor near their home.
Natural enemies of the
Dust Bunny: Giant sucking machines (i.e. Hoovers, Kirbys, Dust Vacs,
etc.) keep them as far away from your Dustbunny if you don't want to
scare them.
