I'm having a hard time finding new bunny pictures (if you didn't figure that out from the lack of updates) I promise I will do my best to dig through some of the photobucket accounts that have been sent to me! On a slightly unrelated note: I was looking at Etsy today, which is an awesome website full of handmade and odd goodies similar to ebay, but with fixed prices. I was looking at fabric and found some cute bunny linen that is now getting sent to me from Japan! Here are some other awesome bunny items you should all check out! Click on the name of the person for their full shop and on the name of the items to be taken directly to the item.

Check out SepiaLepus's shop for some awesome 4 season bunny cards and bunny portraits, like Clover!

Evamay has made a double printed bunny shirt that I think is just too adorable!

Sugarpanda has a cute little bunny pendant waiting to be made into a beautiful necklace.

Brigit has a lovely leather bunny stamped coin purse!

MorrisPottery has a rabbit mug!

Sad News

2008-05-16T00:04:00.002-08:00

Some of you may remember Happy near the start of this blog. Leonard (the owner) e-mailed me to inform me of Happy's passing. I think that he worded his grief and the progression many first time bunny owners go through (me too) in the love of their new companions. To quote him:

"When we found Happy, I, like many other people may feel that they have just found a pet, an animal somewhere at the bottom the life's hierarchy. And that's how it started, but as time grew and Happy got healthier and spirited, something wonderful happened - a man and a bunny began to bond. He became a best friend even though he could not speak and I could not recipociate.With his loss, I feel a part of me is lost but with his passing, his spirit lives through us. Happy is a wonderful testament of a spirit and well-loved bunny. My wife and I will always love Happy. "

Binky free Happy and know that you are missed...

Sorry for the lack of updates...

2008-05-15T09:47:00.002-08:00

...I'm having trouble grabbing hold of some more pictures. So once again I call for any submissions! If you have any rabbit photos please send them to tundrakatiebean@gmail.com make sure you took the photos or you have the permission of whoever did take them please!

In all the dates he's been on he has made it apparent that he needs some love in his life. Logan is a larger bunny and any possible homes should keep that in mind. If you are intereasted in adopting Logan call review the adoption policy & procedure and Bunny Basics at www.rabbitnetwork.org and call 781-431-1211 or E-mail info@rabbitnetwork.org with any questions.

Short Hiatus

2008-04-07T09:50:00.003-08:00

Bountiful Bunnies will go on a short hiatus while I go through the last few weeks of my semester. With finals and papers due across the board I don't have the proper time to devote to finding delectable bunny photos. But I promise I will be back in full swing when summer break is at hand!

Help Fight Bunny Discrimination!!

2008-03-28T09:17:00.001-08:00

A new very well-funded start-up, ZooToo.com, is really making a lot of noise in the pet world, especially with a ‘Shelter Makeover Contest’ that promises a MILLION DOLLAR makeover to a winning shelter and prizes of $5000 each to 19 runner-ups!

Unfortunately, not only are rabbits drastically under-represented, it appears they’re being intentionally discriminated against. There’s only one rabbit rescue in the running – Midwest Rabbit Rescue in Michigan. Midwest, after much effort, is currently sitting at #16. They have a shot at winning. But it seems that some Zootoo members don’t consider rabbits legitimate pets and they’re ‘flagging’ tons of posts that earn the rescue points and posting rude comments (referring to rabbit meat and dog training tools, etc). Midwest is dropping in the standings. In just one day Midwest volunteers saw their standing drop from #12 to #17 because of unexplained deletions of their points.(Insult to injury, the company itself features cats, dogs, horses, reptiles and birds on their home page, but no rabbits). We REALLY need to raise awareness for our little friends, particularly on sites like Zootoo. Awareness means better vet care, more products, more adoptions, more donations.. the list goes on.

The best way to get their attention is to join the site with Midwest as your sponsor (that’s worth 200 points to them) and then do what you can (product reviews, news comments, etc) to continue earning points for the rescue. To sign up at ZooToo.com (and don’t worry, they don’t spam their members or anything), use the referral site: http://www.zootoo.com/register/referrer/midwestrabbitrr. If you register with the Midwest zipcode (48170), you can also sign up as a volunteer (another 100 points). Only one person can sign up per email address, but you can have your whole family join as long as they have different email addresses. It’s only open to US residents, so you must list a US location.All effort will be appreciated by the thousands of bunnies that go through the tiny, cramped warehouse space That Midwest calls home. (It doesn’t even have a bathroom!)

Rabbits must rule!! More info at Midwest's site... http://www.rabbitrr.org

Christine requires a smoke free home, a house check, and a life care contract before she will let you take a bunny home. If you are intereasted in this lovely pair you should contact Christine at Christinelea1@wmis.net or visit the rescue website at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/MI575.html

Bunny Craziness

As you may notice on the right hand of the page (Vana White Hands) I have added some more links! Many of them are my loyal reader's blogs which I just got around to posting (I'm kind of lazy) and some of people who have submited photos blogs or things that I just like. All of them are bunny related, so feel free to click away with no fear in your hearts. I highly recomend visit Bunspace if you are at all bored, it is a great way to waste even more time oogling other bunnies and virtually pampering your own!

Enjoy!

Help a bunny Rescue!

2008-02-18T11:33:00.003-09:00

Zootoo.com is running a 'contest' to award some rescues money to re-vamp their facilities. A member of Rabbits Online Forum is asking for help for Midwest Rabbit Rescue in Michigan. It is a no-kill rabbit shelter and we want to help them win some money to help the rabbits!

If you are willing to help out here's what you need to do!

Register at http://www.zootoo.com/register/referrer/midwestrabbitrr and sign up using the rescue's zip code (48170). Then have fun adding pictures, inviting people, reviewing your favorite or most hated pet products, and commenting on animal news articles!

Midwest is currently ranked number 36 with 177361 points, to get a makeover they need to be in the top 20. The number one shelter will get a million dollar make over, number two will get a 10,000 dollar make over and the other top eighteen will get a 5,000 dollar make over.

Please help us out! Even just signing up helps us help the bunnies!

Thanks everyone!

Here is Mr. Tumus enjoying a bunny biscuit.

and here's the recipe. These are TREATS so only give bunnies a little. This recipe can be changed fairly easily to suit your bunnies tastes.

1 small carrot, pureed (can substitute apple or pear)

1/2 banana, mashed until really creamy

1 tbsp honey

1/4 cup rabbit pellets, ground finely in a coffee grinder

1/4 cup ground oats, ground finely in a coffee grinder

Mix pureed carrot, banana and honey in a medium bowl. Add pellet powderand ground oats. Mix until blended. Knead in your hands for 1-2minutes. Roll out the "dough" in 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick layers betweensheets of plastic wrap. Cut into small cookies (about 3/4 inch across).Place cut shapes onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake at325 degrees for about 30 minutes (check to make sure they are notbrowning too much). Turn off the heat and let the cookies sit in thewarm oven for an hour or so.

When I recieve pictures from people I usually get on odd number (like 6 when I only put 5 in a post) so I end up with straggler photos who have no other photos to be posted with. This is a day of stragglers!

These are two bunnies whose names I don't have, they are from a breeder.

This is Bandit (black and white) and Holly
This is Berry, Binky Free sweet one.
