Showing Off the Gams
Just a Friday evening, hanging out with the bunnies.

Phineas, King of the Hay
Well, we were hoping that some new hay might reduce how frequently Phineas kicks the hay out of the litter box. I guess that hope was misguided.
Our Photogenic Bunny
I later learned that the rabbit featured in the article also has its own Instagram account. Which Liz promptly followed.
The Hay Sampler
That’s right. We ordered up a box of sampler hay. And to top it off, this is how Liz and I spent our evening.
Staying home. On a Friday night. With a box of hay samples.
Phineas, Flopped
As a bunny owner, seeing moments like this is just a great feeling. Not only is the cuteness just over the top, it’s a signal that the rabbits feel comfortable enough to leave themselves “vulnerable,” in such a pose.
Phineas Goes to Sleepytown
In terms of a happiness gauge, the flop is up there with the binky.
Phineas the Sommelier
I was sitting on the floor with Liz, and the two of us were petting the bunnies. I happened to have a glass of wine near me, and had to pick it up once Phineas got a little curious.
Prep and Travel
Lots of veggies, and lots of plates! I forgot to take a photo until after I had already fed them their dinner, so it’s a total of 12 plates if you count the ones they’re snacking on in the back.
Daisy Breaks Free
The bunnies have a bunny cottage that they play in, when we let them out in the evenings. We’ve had several, over the years, as they tend to get a lot of use (by some rabbits more than others).
It’s Like Looking Into a Mirror
Liz got these towels as a gift from her mom, for her birthday. They are incredibly cute, and just uncanny in how close they are to matching the two of us.
Goofus and Gallant
When rabbits “flop” over onto their side, it’s a sure sign they’re very comfortable where they are – and it gives us no small degree of pride and delight whenever Daisy does this.
The Daisy Incident
When bunnies don’t eat, it’s a pretty big deal. For them to not have food in their system is very problematic, and potentially life-threatening. We’ve seen the “not eating” behavior before, and know that it’s potentially the start of gastro-intestinal stasis.
Daisy Gets Overly Ambitious With the Parsley
We noticed this thing with Daisy, though. When she starts eating, she grabs a big mouthful and just goes to town. She won’t try to pick out a modest piece – she’ll grab as much as she can manage, and then wrestle the whole thing in the air as she slowly chews it down.
Hoppy New Year, 2017
And here’s a photo we took on NYE’s, before the year’s end. Both of them are making weird faces because we had just given them carrots, and captured them mid-chew.
New Bunny Corridor
A few days ago, Liz set up a new corridor area for the bunnies. This, in combination with their cottage and maze, gives them a whole lot of places to explore and play.
