The Life and Times of Bunnies

  • Oh hi there!

    Don’t mind me, just checking to see what you’re doing.

    Bye now!

  • Yummy Greens!

    Dad says he grew these greens in his own garden, just for us! Thanks, Dad, they taste great… now, could we get some more?

  • SUPERFAST

    The nice thing about the carpet here is that I can really dig in and get traction for a good run.

    Everybunny loves a good run now and again!

  • I like climbing on things, OK?

    Look, I like climbing on things as well, OK?

  • That’s not even my true top speed

    I can run way faster than this (if I want to). I doubt your cameras could capture it, though. And could your monkey minds even comprehend such speed? I think not.

    Bunny turbos are for bunnies.

  • TREEEEEEAAAAATSSSS

    Treats?

    TREEEEEEAAATS

    Why no treats?

    why haven't you fed me yet?

    Got any treats?

    got any treats?

    C’mon, gimmie treats!

    gimmie treats

    TREEEEEAAATTSSS!!

    let me out

    …Have I mentioned that I really like treats? If you have any, you’d better give them to me!

  • Air Conditioning Vents Are The Best

    If you ask me, air conditioning vents are like the best thing ever (next to treats).

    delilah likes laying on the air conditioning vents

    These ones are even perfectly sized for me – how convenient is that?

  • BOING!

    Mum and dad always get really excited when they see me jump in the air (they call it a “binky”), but I don’t see what’s so exciting about it – I’m a bunny; of course I can jump!

    Dad was especially excited when he was able to film me doing it. Now if only he’ll let me jump behind the couch, hmmmmmmm….

  • The Bunny Area, Mk V

    new(est) bunny area

    With new bunnies comes a new bunny area. Even though we are planning on letting them roam freely throughout the house, they still need an area of their own for their food & litterbox. For now, they remain in their area except when let out (under close supervision) – when they learn not to chew things & get used to the house we’ll eventually let them out more & more often.

    We’ve also moved the bunny area up into the sunroom instead of the livingroom – the tile floor there makes it easier to clean up hay & fur, and these two seem to like it up there. Unlike our previous two bunnies, Delilah & Chuck seem to have no problems with slippery floors.

    Speaking of which, Delilah and Chuck also have no problems with jumping over things – which is why their area has a screen “roof” to it – both of them jumped out of their area (when I wasn’t looking) so I had to build something to keep them in.

    I also had to build a gate to keep them out of the rest of the house – I’ve only re-bunny-proofed the livingroom so far – which also had to be quite tall to keep them from just jumping it. Commercial pet gates just don’t work with bunnies – they are either too short or have bars that are too widely spaced (bunnies can squeeze through surprisingly tight spaces) – so again I had to build my own.

    So far the buns are quite content with their living arrangements – they flop and relax frequently and I’ve even spied them sleeping & doing some happy tooth grinding. Happy buns = happy home!

  • Same Blog, New Bunnies

    It’s Dad here again, and you read that right – we’ve finally welcomed some new bunnies into our home.

    Introducing Chuck:

    Chuck

    And Delilah:

    Delilah

    Just like our previous pair, Chuck and Delilah are rescues and will will be sharing their life story here as well as on Twitter (once I give them access).

    Chuck and Delilah were not together prior to being brought into our home, but they have bonded very well and can frequently be found snuggling together. They’re currently living in a large play-pen area and are only let out during the day when we can supervise them – although we are slowly expanding their range into the rest of the house.

    Eventually – once they learn where not to go and what not to chew on – they’ll be allowed out all the time, but until then they’ll be spending much of the day (and all of the night) in their play-pen cage area.

    Already we’ve learned a lot about the temperaments of these two – Chuck is a definite troublemaker but is also a bit skittish, while Delilah is a sweet girl and the most relaxed, laid-back rabbit I’ve ever seen.

    So stay tuned, as more posts will definitely be coming (though I’m not sure how frequently). You can also follow the buns on Twitter as @ChuckTheBunny and @DelilahTheBunny.

    Thanks to everyone who reads this blog, and we hope you enjoy reading about the Life and Times of these two new bunnies!
