Not just for Easter!

 

Okay, Easter might still be a few weeks away (March 31st  to be exact), but we know that many people out there will be wanting to take advantage of this time of year to add a new furry friend to their family.

 

And before we sound like we’re being too negative with this post inspired by the Make Mine Chocolate movement, we’d just like to say we’re the first to say that happy healthy bunnies can really be a wonderful addition to a person’s life.

 

But we’d like to offer a word of caution on the power of language and symbolism as the silly season approaches.  Well, a couple of words actually.

If you’re thinking of getting a rabbit as an Easter gift (particularly for a teenager or child to look after), we would say regardless of how good your intentions might be, how well researched and prepared you and the recipient are, the symbolism of kicking this whole process off on a  Holiday like Easter or Christmas or even a birthday can start the whole process off “on the wrong foot”, so to speak.…

When it comes to rabbit behavior, is there anything more natural for your bunny than to dig a rabbit hole?

 

But before you throw your hands up in horror, thinking “oh no, not my flower borders…,” there’s a way around this – allowing your bunny the freedom to dig a deep a rabbit hole as he wishes AND keep your back yard pristine.

 

Simply fill a large flower pot with earth, and let him do what comes naturally.

 

Like this…

Or how about this for some initiative….?  Seems it doesn’t always have to be earth!

So, seems it really doesn’t take much effort to give your bunny exactly what he wants to let rip to that most natural of bunny behavior – digging a rabbit hole.  …

As most of you know we at Small Pet Select spend most of our time and energy on serving  our customers by doing the best we can on quality and service of our timothy hay product.  This is inevitable in every small business, naturally you have to place a higher priority on those activities which keep the bills from going unpaid…

 

But…every once in awhile we will come across something that we just can’t help but dropping everything and making it our primary focus to spread as far and wide as possible.  About 20 minutes ago  I came across such a thing…an inspiring story of the difference one individual and her pet bunny are making in the lives of others, and so just had to share this with you all.

Beware of Bunny and Bunnies at Play pet signs are now available to purchase from Small Pet Select.

 

How cool will your rabbit’s hutch or living area look with one of these cool/cute signs displayed – it’ll make you the envy of all other rabbit owners, that’s for sure!

 

And how much of a laugh would it cause if you had a “Beware of Bunny” sign displayed where all visitors can see as soon as they arrive at your house.  Sure beats a boring “beware of the dog” sign…  And shows that yours is a rabbit lovers’ house to one and all that arrive at your front door!

 

Or why not hang it in your car?  Especially if yours is a bunny who comes with you on trips away.…

A contestant on America’s Got Talent 2010 – a superb singing bunny.  Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “sing for your supper,”  as this guy was certainly singing for his rabbit hay – and very much deserved it, in our humble opinion…

It’s nearly upon us – 2013, that is!  And from all of us at Small Pet Select, we’d like to wish all of our readers, customers and supporters (old and new) a very Happy New Year.  Now, this is the time of year that many people might well have taken on a new bunny to care for, and – being as you can never go over the basics too many times – we’d like to take this opportunity to look at how to care for a rabbit.

 

After all, we’ve all been in the position when we might want to ask a question about looking after our pets, and either not known where to go for the answer, or even felt a bit daft about having to ask at all! …

That’s it!  Tis nearly here – and this time tomorrow we’ll no doubt be awaking up to deliveries from Santa, Christmas songs on the radio and peace and goodwill to all men.  But what about the bunny?  Does he get dressed up as the Christmas rabbit?

 

Now, I have no doubt that all the rabbit owners out in SPS land will take into account that he might not be too happy with all the noise, shenanigans and interruptions to his routine?  After all, we all know how sensitive our little furry friends are, and that they expect life to continue on it’s regular path – even though us humans thrive on stuff such as Christmas Day and family reunions…

 

Now, we’ve already talked over the last few weeks about ways to keep your pets safe from the festive activities. …
