Our Diary. Week 7 – February 18th

We had a very exciting time this week. We found out that the white ribbon stuff that bites when you touch it is called electric fencing. One day it wasn’t working so we were able to sneak our way through it into New Mum’s garden.

There was lots of fresh juicy grass there because nothing had been eating it ever, apart from the occasional Huh-rabbit. They don’t eat much because they are only little and they seem to like New Mum’s special plants better than grass.

New Mum was not pleased when she found us. We pretended that we didn’t know she was there and trotted off to parts of the garden which were furthest away from her. In the end she brought some tasty titbits into our field and waited until we couldn’t resist the tasty smells and went back into our field.

She spent ages working on the hedging on her side of the electric fence to stop us getting through again.

We waited until she disappeared then we went exploring until we found another place to get through. New Mum chased us all the way to the top of our field and was very cross so we decided to stay out of the way for a while. We didn’t know that she had a plan.

Next morning she put a new box down by the gate where the old box used to be then she went away.

When we tried to go into the garden again the electric fencing was working again and the white ribbon bit us when we touched it.

Oh well, getting into the garden was fun while it lasted.

New Mum is being nice again and gave us some carrots as a treat.
