Wild Little Boy

"Benny" My little boy Benny is the most easily startled rabbit in the house. He doesn't even like it when we run the water in the nearby kitchen. He's not all nerves though, as he can be quite feisty when he wants to. He often runs over to his mate, Rosie, sniffs her butt and …

Rosie’s Big Birthday Present

"Rosie & Benny" "Josie-Rosie" We celebrated our Rosie's third birthday this weekend with some vegan Jell-O roses for the humans and dried fruit and alfalfa hay for the rabbits. In addition, Rosie got an unexpected gift: our new foster rabbit! Her name also happens to be Rosie, so we've been calling her "Josie" to keep …

Happy Birthday to My New Year’s Baby

"Benny" Happy New Year and a Happy Birthday to my little bun, Benny! It's 2024, and he's four years old, so I made some donuts for the humans to eat (more than four, but four made sense for the plating), and Benny gets some more rabbit-safe treats, like banana, apple and alfalfa hay. Benny did …

Not-So-Naughty Bunnies

"Piper" "Cameron" All of the Kronenbuns may not have been perfect angels all year, cough Cameron cough, but they still all found a spot on Santa's "Nice List." The bunnies all enjoyed their gifts, and they even lasted three days this year before they ate them all. It would have been more like three hours, …

The (Un)Sympathetic Rabbit Partner

"Rosie" Happy Bunny Butt Friday from my girl, Rosie! Her mate, Benny, had his first case of GI stasis (since we adopted him last year), and Rosie behaved precisely how you'd expect a partner to: she completely ignored him unless he had food in front of him. Yes, this seems to be par for the …

A Miffed Little Rabbit

"Cameron" Lately, my Cameron has been very territorial. Our Benny accidentally hopped around on "his" living room rug for a few minutes last week, and Cameron is still annoyed with him. Now he spends his evenings camped out in front of Benny and Rosie's pen, making sure that Benny knows he's the top boy-bunny in …

Why Benny, What Sharp Teeth You Have

"Benny" My little guy Benny had his second molar grind so far this year last week. He tolerated it like a champ, but I wish he didn't need it. He keeps growing small, sharp spurs on his molars. He's a good hay eater, so it seems like it might just be a genetic issue for …

Independent Ladies and Their Needy Male Companions

"Rosie & Benny" My Rosie and Benny are a happily bonded pair, but they're not as lovey-dovey as you might think. Some rabbit pairs are very affectionate, snuggling all the time and constantly grooming each other. My other bunnies, Cameron and Piper, are often found like this. Rosie and Benny's snuggling isn't constant and it's …

Benny the Food-Alarm

"Benny" My little Benny always sounds the alarm when it's time to eat. Anytime he hears something that sounds like a plastic bag crinkling, he thinks it's one of his food bags. His mate, Rosie, doesn't look for food that hard because she knows Benny will let her know when they're going to get fed. …

Bonded For My Birthday

"Rosie & Benny" When I started bonding my Rosie and Benny back in the end of November, I said that I hoped they could be bonded by my birthday in mid-February. Surprise! It might have been a few days late, but a fully-bonded pair of bunnies was the best belated birthday gift I could ask …
