I do miss Natasha, as I do Scone MacBunny who passed eight years earlier. It took me a while to adopt a new bunny, Stormageddon "Stormy" McRabbit, but he's been part of my home since January. He's another Rex, of course, "blue" color.

My beloved MiniRex companion, Natasha Rabbitova, has passed away at the age of ten years old. She was a bundle of intelligence personality and attitude wrapped in the softest fur possible. I will miss her a lot.

Natasha Rabbitova passed away on July 15, 2018, at the age of ten years old. She was much loved, and loved in return. I will miss her...

It's been a very busy and rough year for me, so I have to admit my rabbit photography has been neglected. Here are some pictures from late 2017, and a few to start out 2018. "Pet me, Dad?" Natasha under the kitchen table - a favorite spot for a nap. Natasha opening her Christmas present. I...

We have a What Breed is my Rabbit key here on Rabbits Online, where you can work through some questions and get a guide to possible breeds - if, of course, your rabbit really is a purebred anything and not just a cute bunny (which is a given). The direct link to the Havana page on the key is...

I suppose English names would be appropriate (or British, at least). Since you want pairs, how about: Jeeves and Bertie (Wooster) - from PG Woodhouse's stories (King) Arthur and (Sir) Lancelot Winston and Neville (WWII Prime Ministers) Dr. Johnson and Boswell - dictionary writer and his...

I've seen these beds from Ikea in a number of bunny pictures, and I decided to get one for Natasha. She definitely seems to like it, although I have yet to find her actually lying down in it. She will sit on the bed, and she likes to chew on it - luckily, the wood's very hard so she hasn't made...

No problem there. Rabbits aren't even remotely related to rodents. They're lagomorphs, along with hares, cottontails and pikas. There was a DNA study a few years ago which showed that the nearest relatives to the lagomorphs are not rodents, but primates. So you're more closely related to your...

I didn't choose a rabbit, at least at first. One evening, my son walked in and dropped a ball of soft, grey fur on my lap and announced that the furball was a Mini-Rex rabbit named "Scone". Scone was supposed to be Joe's bunny, but I wound up taking care of him over a few weekends when Joe...

Hard to believe it's May already - especially since we had a bit of snow this afternoon. That's not unheard of in chilly Central New York State, but it's depressing when the Spring birds are on the feeder and we're finally seeing some leaves on the trees. Anyway, a dreary weekend is always a...
