This is Shiner.
He was doing part of his nightly exercise routine—gearing up for his big delivery day on Sunday. You have to keep those reflexes tight!
He's been our resident Easter Bun ever since this guy
handed over the torch and retired from active duty a few years ago. Now Gilligan lounges around like Easter is just another day. Though he still hides little tiny round eggs for us. They never get tired of that.
I wanted to post these to show off my little guys while belatedly climbing onto my furry soapbox to say that rabbits make wonderful pets but aren't really good pets for kids and real rabbits make terrible Easter gifts. You really should know what you're getting into before you get one. They're prey animal who are hardwired to chew—which means that they don't necessarily want to be picked up and carried about and will undoubtable find some pair of your shoes (my favorite fluevogs!), an article of your clothing (my favorite black sweater), your rug (yes, the purple rug he's up there dancing on), or a piece of furniture (my blue vintage couch) to chew. And that doesn't even cover the dangerous (i.e. electrical wires) chewing potential.
Bunny-proofing is important!
They are all different and are all just full of personality as long as you have the patience to sit back and let them be who they are. Our two are as different as night and day, but we love them both!
It is impossible for me to not relax when I look at this.
And, yes, it's an ad, but could bunnies and the House Rabbit Society have a better spokeswoman?
Happy Belated Easter!
