OMG, the cuteness. I can’t even…..
Boston is def one of the most photogenic BB buns, for sure. Some buns just really seem to know how cute they are, ya know?
A Bindi Bear and a Bumble
THAT MOMENT AT THE OFFICE PARTY WHEN “SUPER ENTHUSIATIC COWORKER” WONT STOP TALKING AND YOU’RE REALIZING THE CRAB CAKES HAD GONE OFF AND THAT THIRD CANDY CANE MARTINI ISN’T HELPING….
-
Bindi!!! That’s hilarious!
And him with the plushy, so cute! 
The boys have been geeking out about Trollhunters, so the hubby ordered them a box of Mystery Minis.
Of course they didn’t wanna share…
Mosby: “MINE!!!”
Oscar: “JERK!!!”
Sooo, we had to take them away and keep them for ourselves. Peace was restored.
Oscar: “Nice going, idiot.”
Mosby: “Shut up…”
And one of the puppy. He broke one of his ceramic bowls, so now he has to eat off the floor until his slopper stoppers arrive. Mosby is happy to help clean up the mess.
Can you believe they were the same size a few months ago??

Thanks for showing real time interactions between buns and other pets.
So many of us wonder how they will fare.
All your fur behbehs look like they feel comfortable and secure. They are a lucky fur family.
-
Domino&Ash: Thank you! We try to keep them happy, but they don’t always appreciate it.
Boston is such a cutie, even with veggie mouth!
We have finally found a secret weapon against the pup from hell: Pork Chomps! Or as the hubby has aptly named it, “The Good Boy Bone”. If he has one of those in his mouth, he cares about nothing else. He doesn’t jump, or nip, or cry or destroy stuff. The cats can walk right by him and he wont even notice.
And yes, it took an insane amount of self control for him not to tear into it while I took the picture.
Zoning out and enjoying all the flavors.
It’s finally cold enough to turn on the space heater. Lily has been waiting for this moment for 9 months. We keep telling her she’ll end up blinding herself, but she doesn’t care…
-
Wonderful pictures!
Otis is beautiful. That pork chomp reminds me of a Christmas gift Effi got when se was a pup. It was a bone much like that, but filled with dried tripe. It had a terrible, terrible smell but it had the same effect on Effi as the pork chomp seems to have on Otis. Nothing else mattered!
This is a poor quality picture, but it’s so blissful. Bam having a Sunday morning rest in the chair next to me, with an almost-finished apple twig beside him:
-
My mam went to the shops to pick up bread, forgot the bread and came home with a childrens cardboard play house for the rabbits instead!
Yumi and Peep, peeking out the door ( that is his face):
Added additional boxes to create an upstairs for them, seeing as they both like to perch on things
They are both compulsive chewers, so a box full of boxes is a wonderland, especially for Peep who loves hidey holes and tunnel like areas. The marvels of cardboard!
-
Dface thats greeeat !!! Dod mam have to go back out and get the bread !!!??? Haha
Hazel – so funny. Idiot. Shut up!!! Rofl.
How long does the bone last? I’m trying to find the cheapest bone which lasts the longest. A turkey neck lasts 5 secs flat!!!!
A rolled rawhide cigar is my preferred choice at the mo. That and of course the KONG!!
Baloo has asked Santa grandparents for an ANTLER. Apparently they last forever. Should do at £12… !!!Baloo is like that with bone and stuuffed Kong. The buns can do WHATEVER they like when he’s busy chomping. And he gets one too when i clean the buns out as he frets and whines and barks when i go in the enclosure….
I call it the “peaceful life” bone time !!!! A bit like putting kids in front of a Disney film !!!!! Ahhhhhhh sileeeenceeeeee.
I do still though go and REMOVE it briefly from him each time to check he doesn’t get possessive about it. I thank him and ask him to be calm before I give it back.
He is absolutely fine with me taking it. Not withthe cats….but they’ve worked that out now!! 
-
Aww, Bam is such a sweet boy!
These bones don’t really smell too bad, they just make the house smell like old bacon. Dface: That’s awesome! Your mom has her priorities straight!
Vienna: It doesn’t last very long unfortunately. When we bought the first one we were hoping it would replace his old nylabone. After seeing how much of that he was ingesting, we wanted to go a more natural route. If we just let him have it he would probably finish one off in a day or two. So we only give it to him in puppy-is-bouncing-off-the-walls/we-need-five-minutes-of-quiet emergency situations. That way one will last about a week or two. These pork bones are supposed to be easier on the stomach than rawhide, but I don’t know if that’s really the case or if it’s just a marketing thing. I was actually looking into getting him an antler as well, hopefully they will last longer like you said! Otis doesn’t get mad when I take it away, but he does try to escape with it or hold onto it.
-
Dface- Fun!!! My Mom is giving Evi one of those for Christmas. I’m sure it will be used by our cat and bunnies too!
Hazel- His eyes in the first pic….made laugh…
Aww……little Bammy…..Sunday is a good day for rest and snuggling.
O Christmas Tree. O Christmas Tree. How Disapproving is thy Booplesnoot.
Snuggling with my little Bindi Bear
-
LPT love your beautiful white boys! Sterling is so tolerant of costumes
Dface – what a lovely playhouse! They are such cute puffs of fluff
First snow of the year here, I brought some in for Thor to play with
After these were taken, she jumped right in the bucket and we had a very wet, cold bunny making a huge mess in the kitchen. A good time was had by all!

@ Hazel: Mosby is a great name! Is that after the HIMYM character?Thanks! Back when we got him, someone (I think bam?) asked me the same thing! He’s actually named after Clay Mosby (played by Eric McCormack) from Lonesome Dove. He’s our favorite character!
Super Clover makes me feel safe!
Thor looks like she had a great time!
Even a bucket of snow couldn’t make Boston look any more chill.
Bubbles is still on cage rests, his leg isn’t healed yet.
To cheer him up, we got him a new sleeping bag. It’s a Christmas stocking I found at Target. It’s white and fluffy, just like him. I had to have it. 
I think he likes it.
-
@ Bladesmith – That looks so unbelievable unless you have a rabbit and know that position is quite possible. What a chill rabbit
@ Hazel – Oh my goodness! It matches him
Cords, Timothy Mat, boxes… nope. No chewing. Just give him his grey napkin to sit on and he’s happy.

Panda and Fernando enjoying their evening snack (a couple of tablespoonfuls of plain rolled oats). Panda has an unfortunate tendency to get greedy and grab at the bowl with her teeth and paws to get them all for herself, which Fernando, naturally, takes exception to. They’re starting to get better about sharing, though.
-
We finally got a bit of snow that didn’t melt in 10 minutes, so we took Chester to play on the balcony. He was not impressed
“It’s too cold out here, let me back in!”
He ran around a little bit, but ran back inside quickly

Love the detail on the pic of Chester, all these snowflakes in his beautiful fur
I hope he’ll enjoy his outdoor space more when it warms up again.Breintje is also feeling the cold, the floor gets really cold because we’re on the ground floor of the building. We’ve tried everything from blankets to bunny beds to make him more comfy, but the oaf just throws them aside.
“What?! There’s a warm comfy blanket in my napping spot under the coffee table?! How dare they change my space!”
*Drags it away and starts loafing on the bare carpet*
“Mom, my butt is cold!”
Sigh…
Normally he’d only sit on the couch to join me. It took him a while to find out, but he finally noticed that it’s warmer than the floor. So we have a new couch resident, fingers crossed that my crafts will remain un-chewed. (Oh, who am I kidding…)
-
Sometimes, I forget Wick is a runt and he’ll forever remain tiny. He’s like a slightly larger version of himself from 8wo… He likes this camera angle because you can’t see his facial fur loss.

BM – When did you get those cute reindeer?
Bubbles – Those little paw prints!
Ellie – Breintje looks cozy, and possibly like he is plotting how to execute a territorial takeover of the entire couch – “Goodbye cold butt!”
Wick – I think he has a kind of “mature-look” when you compare him to his baby pics. Still tiny and cute though
. -
Awww, Wick definitely looks grown up, but in that special ND baby style. They’ll always look slightly baby-ish, and that’s what I adore about the breed.
Is he moulting?Yesterday I was having a little evening fruit snack. As I was trying to send a picture of it to Bas, I ended up with this weird shot. You guessed it: the brown blur zooming past is Breintje artfully stealing a raspberry and zooming off with his prize
The little sneak thief… -
Posted By Q8bunny on 12/20/2017 12:04 AM
LOL Ellie, if Breintje were a superhero, his alter ego would be called The Blur – and his superpowers would be…??Hehehe, definitely stealth, super speed and mind wipe by his C.U.T.E. attack.
Here’s unique footage of The Blur subduing his arch nemesis The Broom, head of the legions of C.L.E.A.N.!
Every day they conspire to undo all his works: they remove all the artfully strewn hay from his den, strip his carpet of the layers of fur, and even go so far as to steal his droppings! They also found his secret: he cannot resist the call of the treat! With the help of a secret agent, he’s tricked and trapped behind bars right before the legions of C.L.E.A.N. invade.
But our brave little warrior continues to build his strength by stealing morsels of food from his owners, so that one day he may overcome this great evil. And the world shall be a perfect blissful bunny mess, with piles of random hay everywhere and litterboxes filled up to the sky! -
“Pff. Molar grindings? No biggie. I just got my fifth one done today. Let’s talk about this gross topical cream mom puts on me for my fungal infection.”

Aww, little Wick is such a big hero! And handsome too
Glad that he’s so brave, many a bun will fight the vet like a hound of hell.
One of Bas’ former roommates was a vet assistant, and they had special gloves to handle especially fierce buns. He still shudders at the thought of some of his patients…
@Bladesmith: Hahaha, love nibbles. That looks like a fantastic toy BTW, does it have to be a special type of tree or can it be just any pine tree?I bought a new planner for the new year yesterday, it had a cardboard cover with faux-leather look. You guessed it: it was chewed within hours… Guess Breintje already had plans for the new year and started working on them early.
Back to the shops and went for the one with the ugly plastic cover this time. This is why bunny owners can’t have nice things… -
Merry Christmas eve everybunny! Here are some Christmas themed pics.
I put on Eevie’s cute coat and attached a jingle bell on her collar. Smile Eevie!
Ok… maybe try smiling without the teeth?
Umm… How about you just do a normal face?
Perfect!
Queen Reese is wearing her Christmas crown
Here is the Christmassy look that Vinny calls “Dapper Bun”
Leo decided to become a French artist and now wears a Christmas beret.
Leo and Vinny look so upset in those pics, I don’t think they are as ok with wearing hats as Reese is. Oh well, they will get used to it! lol
-
Reese-I cant get over how similar Reese and Vinny are!! I had to take a second look!
Wick- I can never get over how cute that little paw is!
Ellie- Hahah they are such little ninjas when they want to be!!Peeps fur really goes with santa hats it turns out! Yumi let me put some tinsel on her, but only as long as she was distracted by her christmas cracker (their one present they got to open early as it was from my boyfriend and he wanted to see them get it before he had to go home for Christmas )
-
All adorable bunnies!!
I couldn’t get Ophelia to wear anything for even a second, so we have to just try to use props around her! She got some little gifts from the family, but her favorite thing this holiday seems to be chewing up leftover giftwrap rolls… go figure!
On the other hand, I got some cute bunny-themed gifts for myself. But, the highlight of my Christmas is absolutely the Cricut machine my husband got for me… if you don’t know what a Cricut is, don’t look into it…YOU WILL WANT ONE…
-
Awww, these are all really cute ^_^ Hoping everybunny is having a merry Christmas
Breintje is feasting on a special Christmas salad now, with corn salad, carrot tops, basil, and fennel chunks topped with grated carrot.
Yup, he’s circling it, not knowing what to pick first.
I had a lazy day today and opted for some classic Dutch comfort food: hachee (“hachay”). It’s beef stewed with a lot of onions and spices, gently simmered for hours until the beef falls apart and the onions turn into a thick gravy. You eat it with boiled floury potatoes which will soak up the gravy. Traditionally it’s accompanied by boiled red cabbage, but I had some red cabbage coleslaw left over from yesterday’s dinner. It’s made with oranges, raisins, thyme and shallots marinated in red wine vinegar. Perfect for a lazy overcast day
-
Ha! Panda and Fernando did well! Spoilt rotten.
Here’s a little something I saw online. Check it out: http://www.instagram.com/p/BOaSIZkDWep/?taken-by=willbillys

Such cute pics of Panda and Fernando, no wonder they got so much gifts from Santa ^_^ They’re so adorable together
That Christmas dinner pic is awesome!
How on earth do you manage to get those all eating quietly at the table?This is the picture I took with my SpudPhone yesterday, Breintjes first ever flop next to me! He hardly ever flops, not even on the ground. We count it in times/year, so I was really honoured that he did it next to me.
Man, that pic is poor quality, but I did manage to capture the moment. It was over in seconds, and in very poor lighting. My phone tends to capture anything in a red hue because I have red curtains, and I’ve got no clue how to edit that out with filters.
Anyway, just enjoy the cute! -
