Awwww, look at Parsley, what a chubby bun. Here’s what her bunny-Mom has to say:

Hi!
A few years ago I adopted a big wonderful bunny from you named Parsley. She’s doing great! From the second she arrived she declared the livingroom couch her personal lounging spot. It’s taken a while, but now she allows us on too! She’s such a smart funny bunny and she couldn’t be loved more.

Meet Dutch Pumpkin, an adorable little lionhead dutch girl. Here’s her Adoptive Mom Melissa describing her:

I adopted Dutch Pumpkin from you back in February, her new name is Lola. She was definitely a slow to warm up bunny, it took her a good few months to just get used to me. She’s still quite cage aggressive, but once I get her out (with gloved hands haha) she’s a sweetheart. She’s been doing very well since adoption and certainly has grown!

You might recall that I had a male rabbit at home that I wanted to bond her with. In short, it didn’t go very well. Every time I tried they would fight, pulling chunks of fur out of each other. It was a quite a frightening experience, and after a number of tries over a few months, I lost hope. I began thinking, though, that since Lola took so long to warm up to me, maybe it was the same with my male bun. In the meantime I made her an extension off of the male’s cage where they share a wall (its a connecting cube cage) and by the way the two of them act now, you’d think they were in love! They always go by the shared wall and sit next to each other, and when the boy is out he will not leave her side of the cage. He will lay there against one of her walls and she’ll lay right next to him! I even catch them giving each other little “kisses” sometimes.

I thought these were all good signs, but one day when the boy was out, Lola accidentally found a way to sneak out of her cage and they were running all over the living room fighting again. I’m not really sure what’s going to happen with these two, but for now they seem content living separate, but close to each other. She’s a very spunky bunny, but always makes me smile and she is a sweetie at heart. I attached a couple of pictures for you, one with just Lola and the other shows her laying next to the boy like I spoke about.

I hope everything is going well at the hollow, and I’m happy to have the chance to let you know that Dutch Pumpkin is living a very happy, comfortable life here!

How awesome is this? A bonded Hollow Trio! Check out their story below:

I have three adopted bunnies from Hop A Long Hollow. Bunnicula, who was named Sam while at the shelter, was given up for adoption when she was between 6 months and 1 year old, because her owner, an 11-year old boy, could not manage his asthma. Bunnicula, a gray lop, was one of the first rabbits adopted from the shelter, in March of 2005 (she was a birthday present to myself). I named her Bunnicula after the children’s book.

In June of 2006, Frankenbun (aka Rusty), joined our family. He is a tan dwarf male. He and Bunnicula bonded quickly. At a visit to the shelter, I fell in love with a silver-gray dwarf female (I don’t remember her shelter name) who came with a bunch of rabbits from a farm in Easton. I named her Vampyra the Bun (Linda’s suggestion in keeping with the theme). (None of the bunnies live up to their names of terror!) Brandee worked with the three rabbits to bond them, which succeeded. Once home, there were a few turf fights between “The Queen” (Bunnicula) and Vampyra, but things quickly settled and all three buns get along well together.

They all share a large cage with a gated play area in my porch-kitchen area. They also get daily runs in a full basement so they can kick their legs. They have been quite healthy, with Bunnicula having a bout with stasis after a small operation to remove a cyst, and Vampyra with a recent skin infection which was cleared up with antibiotics. In general, for rabbit care and info, I have found the House Rabbit Society online to be a great resource.

Here’s a super-cute little bunny with some very loving bunny-parents. Here’s what they had to say about Momo:

Momo is doing great, he has grown very comfortable with me(Nobuko) and George and learned some tricks to get his favorite treat, which is organic raisins!! He even learned to hop up on my lap when I tap them, but not without raisins of course! He also learned to jump out into his play area when I come in and tap the floor. He eats very well and in variety and does quality exercise every morning by rushing in and out his cage and play area. I think seeing will tell you much more than writing , so I’ve attached some precious photos of Momo.
