Bunny Burrito

The first time I heard a human using this term I swear that the first image that came to my mind was that of a bunny full of lettuce wrapped in a tortilla!

But in the end they explained what I mean, there is no lettuce or tortilla, but in the end they wrap us in a blanket and we just keep our heads out.

This technique is used for many things, it is usually an aid to humans, because as we are stuck and immobile it is easier to handle ourselves without risk of getting hurt or of hurting us.

They can use it to give us the medication , in that case just put the syringe on the side where there are no teeth and carefully pour the medicine.

They can also be used to see our little ears or eyes or even to cut the nails, but in that case they have to leave the paw in question out.

Making a Bunny Burrito is easy, although at first it may seem complicated, they have to find a soft but strong blanket (not to tear), stretch it on a table or on the floor and lay them on their stomachs, then spend a part of the blanket above us keeping everything together , but not too tight and with the head out, fold the back part inwards and on top of this part of the blanket that was folded, then do the same with the other half of the blanket and at the end adjust the back if needed.

There, you have your Bunny Burrito!
