Hanson and Mack were adopted a year ago. Here is an update from them:

Sunday is Easter! Turns out, it is also the boys' (Binx and Drako, AKA: Hanson and Mack) 1 year anniversary since we adopted them!! I thought it would be a good time to email you and let you know that they are doing wonderfully. They are anxiously awaiting an Easter basket full of goodies for them to play with!

They are certainly not the same little boys that we brought home a year ago. They have come out of their shells so much more than I ever could have expected. It's hard to believe they are the same bunnies. Binx craves pets every day. A couple weeks ago, I almost fell over because Drako seemed to be asking for pets too. It was surprising because, while Drako enjoys my company, he never really wanted to be pet. Sure enough, that was what he wanted, and he was in heaven. I guess he took notice of how much Binx enjoyed it, and figured he'd give it a try as well. Now, Drako regularly allows me to pet him.

The boys are happy as can be every day when they come out in their playpen/den attached to our bedroom. They get about 5 hours every day where they can go in and out of their condo as they please and practice their binkies. For Christmas, they got a maze from binkybunnyand they both go absolutely nutso as soon as I set it up. They also have a tunnel that they love to chase each other through.

Rabbit Shaming

Why should dogs have all the fun?

Dog-Shaming has become popular recently.  We Rabbit People love our rabbits, but we know they are not always on their best behavior.  This happened this morning while I was getting ready for work.  Hubert made quick work of the covers that were there to protect the wires.  Does he feel shame for it?  That is up for debate.  

Caleb gets a best friend, Mom, Dad and home!

It’s a lot of fun going to the shelter every month but so easy to fall in love with some of the bunnies and want to take them home.  I fell in love with a little boy named Caleb.   My husband Jim said no – that four was enough.   I was sad but understood since we had just adopted Honey & Jake in October and also have Maggie & Kringle (2 senior/special needs bunnies).   Well I guess the universe had other plans -- haha!    Less than a week after discussing it, there was a white bunny with pink eyes in our yard.   We were able to catch him and brought him in.   No one claimed him and actually that was good because we liked him instantly of course J.     We brought him to the vet to get checked out and a couple months later we had him neutered.     We named him Lucky because he was very lucky to have survived outside without any harm coming to him.   So Jim says “looks like we can get Caleb” and gave me a look like I somehow planned it!  Haha!   Interesting how life works out.  J  They bonded really quick and are the best of friends! They make us laugh so much always running around and playing. So now we have six!   Hmmm….. there was a show called “Eight is Enough”…….    Hehe…….

Tudi has been Adopted!

Yay!  It is so great to see the bunnies find such a happy home!

Tudi wanted to say "hi" to all the humans that took care of her. She is adjusting well to her new home. She was a little shy at first but now will often come to the front of the cage where she loves to lay while you pet her. She'll hop out of her cage for a brief look around and then go right back in to rest. I'm not sure if she's still warming up to us or just really lazy. She is doing a great job using her litterbox and loves her romaine lettuce. Still has an attitude when I go to feed her but will let us pet her for hours once she has a full belly. The kids are enjoying reading to her which I think she enjoys. Thank you for introducing us.
