Stairway escape: after-action report

Stormy chilling out after being returned
Originally uploaded by parakkum.
To avoid undue damage to trim, wiring and anything else within reach, the bunnies are either kept in a pen or allowed to run on the stairs while they're temporarily away from their normal bunny-safed apartment. On the stairs, they're stopped at the top by a door, and at the bottom by a cardboard barrier.
Stormy's been testing that barrier for a while now, sniffing around the edges and pushing at them. Today, she went for it and broke out. Once out, she didn't immediately sprint off, which let me retrieve her and put her back on the stairs. To reward her intelligence (since her freedom was so short-lived) I petted her for a while. The picture above is from this post-escape period.
Of course, pretty soon she was back at it, testing the barrier again:
