The Story Of My Easter Bunny

The Story of My Easter Bunny

We got Bella one year ago, on Easter. He had lived with a friend of mine happily for his whole life. Chosen from a regular old pet shop, it was four years until he had to leave his first owner. One of the family members had a rabbit allergy, and he couldn't stay. He found his way into the hands of a biology teacher. I came across him by luck and was offered the opportunity to take him home. "She's the sweetest bunny I've ever met!" Was all the bio teacher would say about him. That's right! We thought he was a girl. Well, we found out a week later he was a boy, and we kept the name since he knew it. The trip to our home was a perilous one. He had to sit outside in his cage, covered in coats donated by my friends to keep him out of the sleet while we waited for our ride. He didn't enjoy the car very much, but finally, he was home! We had a week to decide to keep him. Otherwise, we could take him back to the biology teacher. Of course, we couldn't give him up. We fell in love with him.

Yes, we got Bella on Easter. But he's a lot of work! So if you want your own Easter bunny, make sure you know what you're getting into! They aren't cheap to take care of, and they need attention, lots of play time, brushing and nail trimmings. That's just the beginning. Plus, they live a very long time, which is a big commitment. Bunnies make great pets, but only if you have the time, effort, patience and money for them.

Happy Easter!

Oh my goodness, 103 followers?! Well we have GOT to do something special for that! What do all 103 of you guys think/want to see?

My mother is always telling me to post more pictures of Bella. Mom you can see him whenever you want!

He's a bad influence

Okay, my boy Bella has taken to shaking the sides of his cage when he wants something. I have no idea how he learned this.

So NOW, my guinea pig ALSO shakes the sides of her cage when she wants something. I think she can see him through the kitchen.

Not only that, whenever one of them gets a treat the other HAS TO HAVE that treat.

Thanks so much for the answer! I couldn't go off anonymous because this isn't my main blog ^^° He doesn't lunge, growl, or show the whites of his eyes when I need to pick him up. Hopefully he isn't too stressed then, but I'll of course keep being careful.

Hi! I'm fairly new to owning rabbits, but a lovely four year old bunny came into the family recently. He's extremely nice, clever and inquisitive. I worry though, that because we move him twice a day from his run to his cage (which are on different floors) he may be stressed, or in the very least disgruntled. I know most house rabbits have their run and their cage right next to each other, but he would be lonely if this were true. Is moving him so often okay, or too stressful?

Some rabbits are stressed more easily than others. The best way to figure out if moving him twice a day is too much, is for you to closely examine his body language. When you are moving him watch his ears, nose and eyes. Rabbits won’t necessarily grunt or honk when upset by something but sometimes that’s how they show fear or anxiety. If you can see the “whites of his eye” then I’d suggest moving him less. If you are already moving him frequently then he is most likely used to the routine already.

I love it when people like bunnies
