    Two of our kitter buddies are the same color as the bunbun and have all three think the bunnie is just fascinating while in his crate. I have let the bunnie run around the house when the kitters retire for siesta time but they seem to think it's not very nice to close the door on any room, especially since they KNOW that the bunbun is running free. Anyone have any ideas of introduction, reassurances that the kitters won't eat the little bunnie?
