Stress and Sensitivity

Some rabbits take longer to adjust than others to new surroundings. Benita and her brother Uriel are a perfect example of this. Benita settles in very quickly and is up for petting from anyone. She gobbles down her food as soon as she gets it, and has no trouble sprawling out in the middle of …

Enjoying Bunny Vacations

Last night Benita spent her time watching the "Butterscotch Channel," which consisted of my Butterscotch digging up the blanket at the corner of his pen, my clipping it back onto the pen, and then him trying to dig it up again. It provided her with hours of entertainment. She even had a tasty basket to …

Who’s Really in Charge Here?

Uriel tends to hop away from me when I go in his pen, and Benita comes toward me. He's really just playing hard to get, as he will let me pet him once I go over to wherever he is hiding. My Butterscotch is like this as well. Sometimes you have the let the bunny …

Playtime and Petting

Uriel is loving playing with his toys. He chews on a wooden train and tosses a bunch of a rings before going back to nibbling on his basket in the corner. He lets me pet him a little, but I get the impression that I'm not doing him any favors, he's doing one for me! Benita on …

Back at Kamp!

Benita and Uriel arrived last night for a fun-filled visit! They are such perfect little furry angels. Uriel is a little shy and has mostly stayed under a table and behind the couch, but Benita hangs out in the front of her pen, surveying the action. She's always up for petting and even more so …

Temperature Taking Tantrums

My Butterscotch had another bout of stasis on Tuesday, but is feeling better now. We had cleaned his room earlier in the day and think that may have caused it. Stress is a common cause of GI stasis, and changing out everything in his room could certainly be stressful for the little guy. He took a …

Hoppy Easter from the Kronenbuns!

 

A Bunny Farewell

Glenda bunny is heading home today. I know the boys will be sad to see her go as they've been lying next to each other through the fence all week. She's a great footstool bun since she loves to lie at my feet and snuggle in for petting. She's got such a soft head and …

Typing Speed Limit

I was typing fast yesterday and I have a mechanical keyboard so it tends to go clackity-clack, and my Piper did NOT like it. She jumped out of the litter box with hay still tucked into her mouth and thumped at me. Sorry girl! I guess I have to type a little slower! Glenda is …

Live Rabbits Should NEVER Be Easter Presents

Whenever Glenda gets a treat in this house, she grabs it and runs, flicking her feet. She scuttles to a corner where she can chow down without any chance of anyone else getting it, not that anyone would try! Yesterday our Long Island newspaper, Newsday, published my letter to their new pet columnist asking her …
