It’s the first day of October! Time for a new bunny picture topic.
I went to the fair recently, and they had tons of bunnies that were being shown!
The ones that weren’t being shown at the time were in a bunch of little cages. It was kind of sad, and I hope they live in better environment at home. I looked around and found some bunnies that looked like bunnies here on binkybunny!
Sterling:
A ton of Olaf clones:
And a female Breintje!
Also, even though she in not a bunny, Eevie is enjoying the cool weather and I got an adorable pic of her I want to share. Lol
-
Awww……I can’t go to county fairs anymore because of the bunnies and other animals. Not treated to my standards.
What a feast? Do they supply manure fertilizer too? Eat, poop, grow, repeat.
Hoppy Birthday, Bam!!!!
Bindi looking grumpy after his spot bath and blow dry last night. This is as clean as he gets and he won’t stay that way for long.
-
Haha, it’s between 10 and 11 in the evening here and this means cuddle time. I’m behind the computer which means that I’m not ready on the couch to pet Breintje yet. Subtle as he is, he is staring at me from the couch now, giving off ever so slight hints about my schedule error. Well, I’d best be off, the master has summoned me
-
Breintjes nose is a proximity indicator for nommies: the closer the noms, the faster he sniffles. This afternoon I ate a mandarin, and he was all over me: begging and too eager to wait until I had finished peeling it. I managed to snap a quick film clip of it with my spudPhone. (There is an odd light change in the middle of the clip, this has something to do with my phone camera. No clue why…)
I really love how his nose goes frantic in the last couple of seconds. Target locked, engage maximum sniffles!

@ Ellie. I wasn’t able to find the video. : (
@ Hazel, Wow, I love your pics. Such good skills at capturing fleeting moments. More, more pls.
@ Rookie, very cool. Loving the Sprocket and Rookie cameos. So you did this??!! And excuse me if I sound clueless but is this a bob sled or luge helmet?
So last night it appeared Potamus was getting a start on putting up her Halloween decorations..
-
Boston! You look like a model!
BM, Id been wondering where you’d been lately.Sorry guys, the spider is real.
A huntsman, not a particularly big one really. It got relocated to the garden. Id already gone to bed and there was a bit of thumping coming from their room. It settled, then started up again. I had thought it was Potamus when Id first checked as she was hiding away. When I went back 2nd time, I saw the spider. When to get something to catch it in and when I came back, she’d come out and was sitting right next to it. So I don’t think it was the spider that started her(?) thumping. Just a coincidence that I saw it when checking on the buns.
The name – Huntsman spider – always amuses me because when one of my younger sisters was little, she was found fossicking around in the garden. When someone asked what she was doing, she announced, “Im looking for Husbands!”.
-
JG – Not a particularly big one?! Well, Potamus is officially the bravest bun I know now. Credit to her hoomin too
. BM – That face, those feet, so cute! He must love getting his picture taken since he models so well for the camera
. Luna tends to move every time I point my phone towards her. -
this is my new calf; only six days old his name is Banksy. I made a separate thread about the barn and getting the animals moved to my house for more pictures that is where you can go (link down below)

Picture time! I don’t post in here nearly as much as I should, today I have a variety batch
First off the no animal pics. Since some of you are pretty crafty I thought you might appreciate this. A quilt my mum and her partner made for our wedding 2 years ago. It’s in a quilt show this weekend
My mum did all the patchwork etc and her partner quilted it on their long-arm quilting machine.
And some detail:
Next some pics from the bunny garden because I am amazed at the growth! I put in some watercress just over a week ago and it has already almost tripled in size!
Before:
After:
Now for the cute pics
Miss Luna bun.
Apollo, trying to give himself gills so that he can survive underwater
And Apollo again, profiting from the spoils of Dory’s hay investigations
Any time Dory goes near the hay, Apollo is up there in an instant to pick up the scraps she drops, lol.
-
jerseygirl: Thanks, glad you like them.
There’s a big cardinal that comes to our bird feeder too (his name is Carl 
), but I haven’t been able to get a picture of him yet. He’s huge! And so is that spider, jeez! 
Potamus is so brave!Rookie: Awesome helmet!
Tony’s Mum: Aww, they look so cute with their bandanas!
pinknfwuffy:
That’s gold!BM: What a cutie pie! Please keep posting pictures of him as he grows up!
Boston’s Mama: He’s so good at posing for pictures!
Azerane: Your quilt is amazing, let us know how the show went! Love the picture of Apollo and Dory together!
Shark Apollo made me laugh, although it looks like Luna isn’t too impressed… -
Wow, so many gorgeous pics, I don’t even know where to start
Banksy looks totally huggable. Did you know some farms here have cow hugging sessions? It’s supposed to be just as relaxing as cuddling with your dog on the couch.
And there’s Boston with his perfectly round booplesnoot. His colours are coming around nicely now that he’s getting a bit older.
That quilt is really amazing, it’d surprise me if it didn’t end up on the podium. Such craftsmanship! Loving the Luna, Apolla and Dory pics too, they make for an utterly adorable fur&feather family. Apollo’s really smart for lounging around the hay basket ^_^
Do we have any Irish people on here? I hope they’re safe! Due to that massive storm in Ireland the whole weather system in western Europe is going crazy. We have strong southern winds who’re blowing hot air from Spain over here: it’s supposed to be 10 °C around this time of year, but it’s 25 °C now
Breintje, who is shedding into his winter coat, is making himself as long as he can. This has to be the oddest way I’ve ever seen him, it’s a mix between sphinx and flat. -
TM- Hope the power comes back soon! like you I’m on the East so certainly not the worst affected by a long shot thankfully.
Rookie- Awesome helmet !
Pink- I have a pair of foot sitters too, I always joke about what good slippers they’d make!I have been told a lot of different things about Yumi’s colours, though someone said she was a sable point marten, but her coat colour changes from winter to summer
My favourite change is the inside of her ears go all white, where during the year they only have a white trim.
You can kinda see the colour change in this picture, where she is losing the grey frosted tips from her coat, to show the dandelion fluff colour beneath!I went away for a week with my boyfriend, just to kind of reset after college, I took the two rabbits with me( they are really good travelers, settle very quickly into new locations, and was under 2 hours trip)
We had access to apple trees, raspberry, strawberries, ash and willow, and of course an acre of fresh grass.
My dad has been working on the field for over a decade, turning it into a natural area, and trying to promote pollinators and wild birds so there are no chemicals, and I know most of the plants that are there. There is even a pair of resident hares.
We did have a bit of an incident with Peep and a frog (no-one was hurt, although Peeps pride did not emerge unscathed)The house we were staying in isnt finished being built, and there are no dividing walls in yet, so the rabbits had a huge open space indoors to play, and because there was no furniture, Peep was able to run at full speed (something he generally doesnt do ’cause he bumps into everything)
He also discovered a love of burrowing into my sleeping bag..
Favourite picture though is of the rabbits finally getting to spend time with their other hoomin. They hadnt seen him about two months, Yumi looking for her kisses is always so cute..!

Dface, the getaway sounds like a bunny haven! All that wonderful forage. I hope you collected a stash.
That’s funny about Yumi’s ears. She must be part snow-shoe hare, I reckon. @Rookie, Bostons Mama, now I want to post some pics of Maple’s face after seeing your cuties. I was told she was around 2 years of age when I took her in but I have to wonder judging from the changes I saw in her coat after. Though, she was pregnant, thin and could have been kept outdoors for all I knew so those things would have impacted how her coat appeared.
@ Joe, you haven’t post as many pics as us greedy BB-ers would like! Nice to see the pair again.
@Pink, I rather think Olaf is bonded to your socks. :p -

@jerseygirl – I have a TON of pics of P&F on my iPhone. It’s just a pain in the keister to transfer them because I don’t have iCloud installed on my current home PC (I did for a while on my previous desktop, but it caused problems with wanting to keep changing the bookmarks on my browser installations on my laptop and desktop to whatever was active at the time, as well as using up a lot more RAM than I liked – I’m stingy when it comes to RAM usage on my computers – so I ended up disabling the thing). -

Pink – Luna steps/sits on my foot sometimes. I act like I can’t move so that she feels like she has super-bun strength joea64 – Aww, mother and son having a family dinner
Dface – Yumi looks so excitedly cute. “Look Dad, I got taller!”
@Luna, don’t be too fooled by their good manners in this picture. They’re very good and dainty buns with their evening salad, but there’s a near-riot every morning when I give them their pellets and Panda’s behavior when I give them herb treats is shocking; she regularly steals the herb right out of her son’s mouth even as he’s nomming it.
This is why when I give them Simple Rewards cookies, I give them each a separate piece at exactly the same time, to curb such unseemly scenes, -

joe, have you checked out google photos for storage? I had read good reviews about it so gave it a whirl. I must admit though, I haven’t got the hang of it. nor taken the time to learn. Some of my phones pics automatically go on there and some don’t.
I use Chrome as my browser, so it’s simple to go into google photos from there. -

I do have Chrome on both my phone and desktop (my preferred desktop browser is Pale Moon). I never thought about Google Photos/Storage to date, I must admit.
I have a couple of interesting photos (if somewhat grainy; I don’t use the flash much when taking nighttime pictures of my buns because I don’t want to startle them) from last evening. One of them is of P&F doing something I don’t often see them doing, which is eating from the hay rack at the back of their condo.
-
Last evening’s pictures. The buns were relaxing right next to my computer chair in the top photo. The bottom photo is, to me, the most interesting, since I don’t see them eating hay from their hay rack that often. They had to push aside one of the hidey boxes to get at the hay rack, which to me indicates that I probably need to get another box and cut out the doors differently and position it differently so they don’t have to move the box to get at the rack.

Oh my gosh, professional bunny photos at JCPennies?
Too cute & funny. I love it. Honestly, I have a nice camera and love taking photos, and have taken a few photography classes…. I don’t know why I haven’t yet taken some better photos of Sirius on a real camera instead of my phone! Then again, I don’t know if she’d be having any of that. Hahahaa. 
Since Sirius is transitioning into “complete free roam mode” (I eased her into it very slowly, probably slowly than anyone else does haha, since I’m a new bun owner) she has found a favorite spot on the very top/back of the couch! Kind of like a cat
She likes to peep out the window and look at the front yard. -
Thanks Bam!
Look at this gem I snapped just yesterday! It’s my new absolute favorite. I’m melting. ♥
Sirius was curious about the cat being indoors. So as she was looking at him up on the couch, I snapped this photo.
Our cat, Mickey, likes being outside 99% of the time. So Sirius was probably thinking “What is this ham doing on my stomping grounds!?” She’s only ever seen him while she is out for walks. (Or should I call them “hops?” Lol) She wasn’t intimidated by him in the least bit. Nor did he (Mickey, cat) even seem to care about her. Lol. He was enjoying some petting and couch time! Being lazy.
-
We couldn’t afford proper LEGO or Sylvanians etc when I was a kid , so now I have 4 kids they have all that
I don’t spoil them though – they get Xmas and birthday gifts – and gifts for surgeries as a couple of mine have them often due to disabilities – they rest of the year if they want a new toy they sell old ones they outgrown to make the money -
Thanks guys! He’s our little polar bear.
He got a couple of minutes out of the cage the other day when I replaced his litter box, he was SO excited, it just broke my heart. He was bouncing around, doing his little ferret laugh and tried to rip my toes off. But he was obviously still limping, so I put him right back. He’ such a happy guy, it’s sad seeing him cooped up.Q8: You’re right, he is quite smart. Manic, but smart. He’s always piling up items in front of his baby gate and tries to use them to climb over. Or he’ll drag his bed over to the door so he can watch us and lounge at the same time. He’s an evil genius.
BM: Aww, Boston is such a character!
-
@BM: awww, could “fetch” be the next step?
@Hazel: wow, I’m really surprised that you have a ferret. He’s gorgeous and I hope he gets well soon! How does he get along with rabbits? In the wild they’re predator and prey, do they behave differently when domesticated?So, the reason why we called him Breintje (AKA the brains of the outfit):
“Aww shucks, if only there was an easier way to get to that tasty hay!” He insists on trying to eat his hay from the outside of his cage, getting on tiptoes and eating it off the top of the rack.
-
Ellie: Although they are domesticated, they are still very close to their wild counterparts in terms of behavior, like cats. When you interact with him, you understand very quickly that (not so) deep down he’s still a vicious little killing machine!
Which is weird because out of all our pets, he seems to be the most innocent soul. He is always happy to see you, he always wants to play and never has a bad day. He is just a little ray of sunshine. Pretty much the complete opposite of your typical grumpy, bossy bunny. Bubbles doesn’t get to interact with our other pets, except for the cats. He has his own room, (secured with three baby gates stacked one on top of the other) and the kitties (mostly Mosby) hop in and visit sometimes. Or anytime I take down the baby gates, in Mosby’s case. He’s obsessed with Bubbles, even though he gets his butt handed to him every single time. Bubbles weighs two pounds, Mosby 12. Bubbles can take that cat down like it’s nothing. They are incredible strong and efficient fighters. Mosby will start crying for help, but as soon as I rescue him, he’s back in there trying his luck again! 
As far as I can tell, Bubbles doesn’t look at our other pets as prey, at least he doesn’t exhibit any predatory hunting behaviors. Him and Oscar have met, but neither seemed to care much about the other. Bubbles was mildly curious, and Oscar couldn’t have cared less, he gave him a sniff and casually hopped off. I thought he might be scared, but I guess he just doesn’t have any instincts left to tell him “RUN, IT’S A FERRET!!!” All Bubbles cares about is playing, but he plays very rough. I let the cats play with him for a couple of minutes while I’m supervising, but then I have to step in before he becomes too much for the kitties to handle. 
Looks like Breintje doesn’t play on “easy”.
bam:
-
But you can’t get angry at someone with a face like that, just look at him 
I wasn’t there when it happened so I’m not sure how he did it. Last time he channeled his inner flying squirrel and flung himself off the cat tree… I blocked off the upper levels of his cage.
