Disappearing Act

I went into the rabbit room this morning and there was Tosh and there was Shaz- but Shally had disappeared.  We looked everywhere- moved furniture- extended the search to the rest of the house- and finally found her up the chimney. The chimney closes with an iron flap- so she will have had to push this back and climb up over it, before dropping into the space behind. I'd love to have seen her do it.

Amazing. Are you quite sure the damper -- I think that is what you describe -- was closed before her escape?

Good question. I can't be sure, but I think it was. And even if it wasn't it was still a remarkable thing for her to do.

Truly remarkable.

That's quite amazing. Do you think the others chased her out?
Is the chimney in the rabbit room?

Shally is the boss rabbit so she won't have been chased there.

I reckon she was just exploring.

Yes the chimney is in the rabbit room. most of our rooms have working chimneys

Pulling a rabbit out of a chimney? That's a new one - that's some rabbit you've got there.

I don't know quite how she did it. If you'd asked me beforehand I'd have said it was physically impossible.
