Oddity #22
My oddity of the day doesn't really have anything to do with being in Iraq.
The rabbit here is eating the plaster of the wall near where he likes to sit. We don't know why. Do you?

Colleen, appreciate your blog and your newsletters. Thanks for sharing these glimpses into your world. Regarding the plaster - I've read that an animal will eat clay when its stomach is upset...it helps to soothe and protect the lining. Maybe your bunny has a tummy ache? Or it may need additional minerals - doesn't plaster have calcium in it? Blessings!
Long ago we kept rabbits and they will chew anything they can reach, especially the wood frames of their cages. It is evidently getting some nutrient out of the plaster. ec
