They give the patients a towel and gave Bunya a pile of hay. Bunya was chewing on the towel ... not the "fiber" they were trying to get him to ingest.

Hopefully, will get to see him again today. Looking forward to his coming home, but with a little anxiety. It seems that the bunny pecking order can be re-arranged when one is absent. In the extreme, the bunnies can unbond, as with Alice (which is how we ended up with Lucy & Ethel). We went through a reunion crisis when Ethel was away at the vet for almost a week; there's a series of (eight) posts about this episode on the Bunny Care page, the last set of links near the bottom that includes Family Therapy for Bunnies ... the set is titled: Adventures in bonding. And unbonding. And re-bonding.
If Bunya has the same towel as yesterday, I think I'll ask the vet if I can borrow it and bring it home so Lucy & Ethel will have his scent close. If you have any experience with re-integrating a bunny who's been ill and away for a little while back into a bonded group, any suggestions greatly appreciated.
