Carrot Cottage Demolition Thread

My girls got their first carrot cottage last week. None of you warned me how noisy it would be :no:

Aaahh yes - the noise. Perhaps we should have mentioned the sound of ripping and gnawing. :lol!:

Lovely photos of the ladies getting to work on the renovations. :luv:

They are really enjoying tearing it to pieces.
 
I have been working quite hard on my hay cottage (no carrot cottages in Switzerland) and I am quite proud of my new door.

However I am now planning to do some work on the foundations, so it was necessary to 're-orientate' the cottage.

Love Eddi (with a bit of help from Oreo too).

Oh Eddi, that doorway frames your face perfectly. Well done to you and Oreo :luv:
 
I wish I could get a photo or video of Blitzen's antics, but sadly I'm never fast enough. He keeps chewing at the walls of the cottages but instead of eating them, just spits it out onto the floor. Apparently he dislikes the taste...but loves the destruction!

Mine don't even need a carrot cottage to do some demolition work. Any old cardboard box will do them, they do just as well remodelling those. A box only lasts them around 2-3 weeks if I am lucky. Would love to buy them a carrot cottage one day.

Mine have a cardboard box and don't remodel it. Only Carrot Cottages seem to get that privilege!
 
I have ordered 2 more from Wilco that should be arriving any day now. The Carrot Cottage is the only thing that they have had that hasn't been treated with suspicion.
 
I got one for mine when I first got them, and they loved it, but my neighbour was looking in on them when I was away for a couple of days and she threw it out and replaced it with a cardboard box. It was only half done. I don't think she realised they were supposed to eat it! I didn't have the heart to tell her, as she clearly thought she was doing me a favour. lol

I have only ever chucked out carrot cottages when they have been used as a boat as been weed on :vom:.

See this is what I don't get. My two love being destructive. Blitzen eats his log ramps (they get used as tunnels) all the time. Comet's forever headbutting them out of the way when he wants to make a new zoomies circuit and he's knocked the cottages over doing that before.

But they will insist on leaving them intact enough to sleep in! I almost forget sometimes they were supposed to be a treat...
 
I feel so mean that I haven't got one I might try to do a diy one.
