How to Handle a Rabbit
Rabbits are a gardeners best friend and worst enemy, all in one cute fuzzy dynamite stick. When contained, rabbits are incredible manufacturers and reproducers. They will make you more fertilizer than you can imagine what to do with! In my world, that's a good thing. If you don't have a garden, I would not recommend getting a rabbit. The frustration and heart break of dealing with their highly potent urine and insanely insatiable attitudes, in my opinion, is not worth it unless you are harvesting the super rich fertilizer. Which, believe me, is a farm job meant for farm or farm-esk settings. That doesn't mean rural! Any city dweller with a green thumb can tell you, where there is a will -- there is a way! But rabbits do not belong in peoples homes. It just isn't sanitary (or good for the electrical units and appliances, no kidding... Rabbits naw on stuff.) Indoor or outdoor rabbit hutches are easy to come by and easier to make. Anybody can MacGyver a rabbit hutch out of some old furniture, chicken wire, a couple of hinges with screws, a make-shift door/reclaimed cabinet door, and a latch. A little elbow grease and ingenuity, and your furry friend will feel right at home!

The truth about bunnies that everyone has to know
Rabbits become very popular around Spring time because they are basically the mascots for Easter. The majority of us around the world know about the Easter bunny and there's usually the Easter Egg hunt that is the main activity for children around this period of time.

She's More Than "Just a Rabbit"
She was a foster. I was excited because I'd had a rabbit as a kid and love how cute they are like anyone else. I'd fostered several kittens from the same shelter previously, and on this particular day they had reached capacity in their small animal room and needed someone to take one of the rabbits off their hands for a little while. I thought sure! Why not?

From dwarf to giant: the rabbit that fooled us
When I moved to Athens, Greece in 2017, I fell in love with the city even though I had visited it many times. I arrived in March and was welcomed by the cool temperature of Spring and the quieter period where the city wasn't heaving with tourists.

The wonderful world of rabbits
It is a common misconception that rabbits are part of the rodent family. Because of this, pet stores like to market them as short-lived animals that will be happy in a small cage. That is incorrect care for rabbits as they are lagomorphs. They have different needs than rodents, but they do have some similarities. Rodents and lagomorphs have teeth that never stop growing. It’s recommended that rabbits have access to hay to help wear their teeth down.

Anything For Dottie
If you check my google history, you might find yourself slightly puzzled. No, it's nothing sinister. You'll see search after search for information on bunny care, rabbit facts, and searches for bunny toys, accessories, and treats. It wouldn't take you long to realize you're looking through the browsing history of a devoted bunny owner.

6 Things You Need to Know About Rabbits
1. They are prey animals This does mean that they will take some time to get used to you and trust you. They don’t like to be picked up as this makes them think they are going to die so don’t expect your new pet rabbit to be okay with getting picked up.

Love from Five Feet Away
I live with a rabbit. I say I live with a rabbit, rather than I own a rabbit, because the former feels more accurate to her understanding. Her name is Jemima and we have lived together for over eight years. I bought her from a backyard breeder in Seaford Vic when she was just six weeks old. She wasn’t meant to leave her family so soon, but the breeder’s dogs got out one morning and killed not only Jemima’s mother and father, but all siblings barring her and one other.

Rainbow Rabbit
Where’s the hope? It’s difficult to say these days when life in America and elsewhere seems to get darker by the day. Political discord, rending this country in half, economic ruin, the pandemic with devastating illness and the deaths of loved ones—so many loved ones (including a member of our family)—dying sick and alone. But hope exists—inside each of us. All we can do is the best we can under these trying circumstances. We don’t control the outcome, but we can and should be doing all we can to protect and care for ourselves and those that we love. And we can hope. For a better tomorrow. For a society changed for the better—not a disintegration into chaos, but an elevation of justice, fairness, equity for all, even those who don’t agree with us.
