  If you can’t take the bunny to the garden… WPC: Admiration

  

  This week’s Weekly Photo Challenge was Admiration.  I’ve explained why this fits the bill underneath. This week you had to show something or someone you admired. I was totally going to do this the day after my last post but I had a bit of trouble with this one because I tend to either admire […]

  How to Handle Your Rabbit

  I got this infographic about how to pick up and hold a rabbit, in an email from Pets At Home, and while I know how to look after my bunnies, I thought it might be useful for anyone with a rabbit (or considering getting a rabbit) just to see one of the ideal ways to […]

  Meet Timmy

  So we weren’t sure if we were going to get another rabbit after losing Banacek – surely it’d have to be a pretty special new bunny. Two weeks ago I had to go to Pets At Home to get Poppy a corner litter tray because she’s destroying her hutch by insisting on using it as […]

  Happy New Year: Greenland Style

  So we missed British New Year as we were syringe-feeding liquid hay into a sick rabbit who subsequently exploded foul smelling diarrhea all over me. I did earlier this evening’s post about how ill Banacek bunny is. Dear Chocolate, it just never ends. My dressing gown is in the washing machine now along with Banacek’s […]

  Should you get a bunny for Easter?

  So there’s obviously a lot of topical debate at the moment about whether anyone should get a rabbit at all over Easter. I wrote a cautionary tale about impulse buying a rabbit and believing that a child has the maturity to care for one over a long period of time. I’ve also written about getting […]

  Taken from his mother too soon: How this baby bunny lives will AMAZE you.

  When we first got Banacek, he was a tiny baby bunny, no more than six weeks old.  He had been taken from his mother at a very young age and had been kept in an enclosure so he was lonely and scared, and freedom to roam was totally new to him.  It was love at […]

  How to clean a bunny water bottle

  We’ve said a few times that our rabbits prefer to drink from bowls, and we usually have about 2 bowls per pair so that if they stand in one or it gets knocked over, they always have something to drink. We also give the outdoor bunnies bottles, attached to their runs, in case they need […]

  [rabbits] How to hold a rabbit

  

  Everyone who owns a rabbit should know how to hold a rabbit properly because it’s not obvious, especially with a wiggly, squiggly bunny who can’t wait to get away and run around the kitchen and nibble those interesting looking refrigerator wires. When I was a child, one of my rabbits escaped. It got into the […]
