It might be because my lot are growing old or maybe its me but it's getting harder to teach basic essentials. Broccoli for instance. Look at this. Now, I call this a hint. Broccoli in water bowl means I don't want broccoli in my greens dish. If I don't want broccoli in my greens dish I don't want broccoli anywhere. 
I eat the stuff I like first then what's left I nibble because it's there and I might as well clear the bowl. But not broccoli.
Harve eventually bobbed for the broccoli. It disappeared anyway.

Along with celery leaves,parsley and carrot tops, they are first on the list to attack .Cabbage, well, yes but it comes at the end of the queue and is eaten when everything else has gone. Spring greens are good if they are springy. I don't like them if they flop about.
I heard them telling someone they have to make soup out of the floppy greens left in the fridge because I don't like them. What's wrong with that? I get first pick, they eat the rest. That's the whole idea isn't it?
My friend Paris- Mimi says George Bush Senior hated broccoli as well. Yea!

I seem to remember that the American president Bush (the first one) hated broccoli too. Get that carer of yours to buy purple sprouting instead of broccoli.

Oh, Harvey we are SO alike in so many ways .. but ..well I like sprouts and I like broccoli - my favorites are carrot, banana and dandelion though.
I am funny about when I get picked up too and I am allowed that freedom - mostly. However if I feel neglected I give a tug on the skirt or trouser and brace myself for a firm careful pickup and cuddle. There is a bit of give and take so no one (human or rabbit) gets too secure in their "Boss" role
I have learnt the human words "excuse me" - by which they means "Please do not growl at my slippers or feet & let me pass through peacefully".
When they remember this politeness I oblige by hopping out of the doorway with a little shiver, though sometimes I make them hop over me.. I do like to lounge in a doorway that way I can see from all directions. Sometimes I like to run between their feet from behind them - so as to try and trip them up because I want to get there - wherever - first!
Mostly if I think food might be on its way.
Any sprouts or broccoli you don't want just fling them over here.
Thanks
