Professional zoomies.

Mr. Giraffe cheers Simon on as he runs the Bunny 500 time trials.

I'm okay!

Yup, I totally meant to roll out of the bunny tunnel like that! 👍

Senior bunny fun time!

Simon and River prove that age is just a number when it comes to living your best life!  Just a head's-up that the video has sound.

Hurry up!

Simon, stop wiggling your butt and hop back in your cage so we can both get treats!!!

BUNNY CARE TIP:

Keep Q-tips (cotton swabs) on hand for:

1.  Gently cleaning noses, the very outside rim of their ears, and vents/scent glands.

2.  Carefully dislodging food (or anything they've chewed on) from their mouth.  You'll know something is stuck in there if they keep making chomping movements for a few minutes but you didn't see them just grab something to eat OR they keep sticking their tongue out like a dog with peanut butter on the roof of their mouths.  ***This works best if you wet the Q-tip with a mint simple syrup and water mixture so they don't fight you sticking it in their mouth.  Be quick and move it in a sweeping motion from one side to the other and forward--you're not trying to ram whatever's in there down their throat!

I've managed to use a Q-tip to dislodge a dried carrot chip that had gotten stuck on the roof of River's mouth that had by that time re-hydrated from all of her spit.  I'm honestly amazed she didn't choke on it!  Dehydrated carrot has been off the menu ever since.

Thaaanks.

This is River's idea of helping me clean her cage.  A slight improvement from her attempting to yank the litter scoop out of my hands.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Noooo!

Simon:  Playtime's over when I say it's over! [refuses to leave play towels]

Me:  Your demand has been duly noted and rejected.  It's time for bed!

Lick!

Caught River loving on her favorite human! 💕

Pbbbbt!

Caught River playing with her food again.  I think she knows if she holds a leaf like this, it looks like she's sticking her tongue out at us.  Bunnies really do have a quirky sense of humor!

Technical difficulties.

[tries to eat all of the bunny bouquet at once] Lemon balm, why aren't you in my mouth?!

That wayward sprig of lemon balm was definitely slowing down his annihilation of the greens.  At least this way he probably got a chance to taste them!

Everybun needs a little help sometimes.

Sometimes River has a bit of trouble deciding how to start eating her food.

Just a head's-up that the video has sound.

Throwback Thursday.

The earliest known pic of Simon and River.

Clearly, Simon was greatly offended by the photo shoot.

Bun is sus.

Simon, just between you, me, and the mirror buns, I think the little human is planning to do something with those nail clippers.  Protect the tootsies and run when she comes near us.  And for the love of the pipe smoking rabbit, don't fall for the 'Who wants a treat?!' line again!

That didn't take long.

The container River is playing under was supposed to hold her hay.  She yanked all the hay out, scattered it around and then proceeded to yeet all of her toys into the box.

She managed this in the amount of time it took me to gather up all of her food and weigh it (to make sure she's eating enough).  I had wondered what the racket I could hear from the kitchen was all about.  Mystery solved!

Mine-mine-mine!

Simon snagged the romaine leaf out of my hand and dragged it behind his towel fort as quickly as he could.  The little dude is not into sharing today! 

Sooo good!

The post-cantaloupe itis was totally worth it!  River would occasionally lick her lips and give a contented sigh as she waited to have room for seconds.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Shh--Don't tell her I'm here!

Poor Simon looks so guilty for just wanting a bit of 'me' time.  I gave the little guy a noogie and distracted River for a while so he could have a moment where she wasn't pestering him for kisses.

Sleepy little munchkin!

River managed to fall asleep with the lettuce still in her mouth.  Who knew that nap time could strike mid-munch?!

Nothing but butts.

Mr. Giraffe:  Was it something I said?!

Hugs and kisses!

Just a bit of bunny love to start your week off right! 💕

Gotcha!

River always looks so triumphant when she manages to capture one of her ears for cleaning.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Breakin' the rules!

This is Simon not social distancing from River while she was sick.  This pic was taken a second before River sneezed right in his face.  Don't be like Simon.

A trip down memory lane.

On what would have been Mom's 74th birthday, I have to share a cute memory of her and her 'grandbunnies':

Mom had remembered that our old bunny, Penny, absolutely loved grapes.

She came up to me with about 5 globe grapes cupped in her hands and asked, "How many grapes can I give the bunnies?"  As you can imagine, Mom immediately became Simon's favorite human as he ran over to be first in line for treats.

I took one look at the almost golf ball-sized grapes and said, "How about we just give them each half of one?"  Both Simon and Mom looked a bit crestfallen, but watching her hand feed the little munchkins and laugh at their little bunny tongues trying to capture every bit of grape juice will always make me smile.

This pic is evidence of the epic sugar crash after the best grapes ever!
