Easter Extravaganza 2013.

Happy Easter!
Thanks Meg for letting me borrow Dexter and Milena!

Two bunnies pondering.

Simon and River are still trying to figure out how the doors (or "magic walls" as we think the bunnies view them as) work.  That is definitely one of the more awkward stances River has taken to stare at the door.
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back for a special Easter post on Sunday.

Blinded by the light.

The flash startled us both on this one.  I apologized and Simon nose-bonked me once his vision returned.  He's a very forgiving little guy!

The price of curiosity is steep.

This was taken while River was dragging the oat container towards herself.  She ended up moving it too close to herself and it threw off her center of gravity enough for her to fall over backwards.  I almost wet myself laughing--one second she was upright and the next all four paws were up and the oat container was laying across her belly.  She was fine, only her pride was injured.

Easter bunny PSA.

We just wanted to help get the word out prior to the Easter holiday when some people decide to purchase a bunny as a gift.
Sadly, a lot of the bunnies end up being "set free" when the child becomes bored with them or the bunny grows up and starts showing hormonal behaviors (aggression/poor litter box habits) and the new owners don't realize that their little bunny now needs to be spayed/neutered to stop this.
The Easter bunnies that are released into the wild can't fend for themselves and quickly become targets for predators because their unique markings don't allow them to camouflage themselves like their wild cousins.  The lucky ones end up in animal shelters with no guarantee of survival or finding a permanent home.
 I don't normally ask this, but please help spread the word to anyone you know with kids who may think that buying a bunny for Easter is a good idea and tell them it isn't.  A pet that can easily live 10 years with proper care isn't an impulse purchase.
Thank you.     

Simon is a Bun-Fu master!

Simon is practicing his "Flying Bunny" form.  He performed an advanced "Paw Strike" to the box on his landing.  It takes much training to make Bun-Fu look this effortless.

The bunnies discover a tunnel.

It's a new toy!!!  Unfortunately, they both can't fit into the oat container-turned-tunnel at the same time.

Our resident self-appointed "alpha bun" decided to go through the tunnel first only to find that it kept moving on her.  She chased it around for a good while before becoming frustrated with it.  I think Simon was laughing at her the whole time...
Because he had no trouble navigating the tunnel.  Here our little "beta bun" is schooling River on the correct way to walk on a curved surface.  She kinda has a look that says, "I totally knew that--I was just testing you!"  Ah well, they both seemed to enjoy their new toy.
Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you have a great weekend!  We'll be back on Monday.
