We hope everyone is enjoying their summer

Paul and I just got back from an amazing trip to Kenya. We were fortunate to see so much wildlife up close in the largest open space you can imagine. There were a lot of baby animals this time of year. Africa is one of the last remaining places to view wildlife in such large numbers.

When we got back from our trip we were delighted to find that some new items came in that we special ordered. We have a new Double Weave Sea Grass Mat in both large and small oval shape that maybe the most ideal mats for inside cages. They are thicker and they won't slip or roll as much as other mats. This is the ideal solution for bunnies in cages to prevent sore hocks.

We also have a newly designed Hay Rack. Similar to the old hay rack but with squared sides and free-standing. We have a new little Unpeeled Pet Bed that is a perfect resting place for small bunnies, guinea pigs and other small animals - made of heavier willow for longer lasting chewing.

Spring is in the air!

Well it’s almost springtime and we have many new items available about which we are very excited!
We have lots of wonderful new t-shirts, sweatshirts and cards created for Bunny Lu Adoptions. All of these items feature high quality images from a few different bunny artists such as Kristine Kasheta.
Lop with Slinky
Your purchase of these cards and shirts benefits Bunny Lu Adoptions - a non-profit rescue group founded in 1999 and located in Haymarket, VA. Click here to read more about this organization.
We also have these hand-crafted wood cars that are designed for rabbits and custom-made for The Busy Bunny. A nudge from a rabbit nose will make these cars roll and they will provide many, many hours of safe chewing. Handmade in California, these are a must-have for those lucky, spoiled bunnies out there.
Handcrafted Surfmobile
That is our Candy Girl with the Surfmobile. The Black fluff ball in the background is her mate Eddie. We adopted both of them several years ago from Donna Jensen at the Burrow Inn in South San Francisco.
We have some wonderful new treats from The Bunny Bunch. These items are hopping out of the door quickly since EveryBunny that is AnyBunny has to have them!
Garden Treats
The Bunny Bunch is a non-profit organization down in Chino, CA. Purchasing these products help benefit this organization.

Holy Cow! This year is flying by!

We have just added several 2010 calendars including the Rabbit Rescue Wall Calendar - this calendar has a lot of cute photos! We also have added two new Busy Bunny products: the Rectangular Toy Basket which is great for toys or hay with double the chewing satisfaction and the Willow Star Basket. For those of you who like to get a head start on the Holidays we have several new Christmas card designs that we think you will love!

Wow. Is it May already?!

We recently received more Papaya Plus tablets. We have a new pet bed that is shaped like a giant's shoe - the Sasquatch. We added two wood chew toys that are flavored and dyed with fruit juice; Fruity Balsa Mini Chews and Fruity Balsa Kabobs. Finally, we added this unique two-sided picture frame and these windchimes for potted palnts. Check them out!

St. Patrick's Day is rapidly approaching!

St. Patrick's Day is rapidly approaching, which means Easter is right around the corner. Paul modified the logo in honor of St. Patrick (plus Lisa is part Irish, so she made him do it). With Easter nearing, it is time for the Make Mine Chocolate campaign. We also have several new products for Easter, including our Daisies in the Garden Boot, Tulips and Bulbs Gift Basket, and these cute Chocolate Bunny Socks.

Here comes 2009!

We made it through another Christmas, so that means a New Year is on the way. Naturally, that makes us think of inventory and the Rabbits USA Annual Magazine. The 2009 magazine is one of the best yet. What a great way to celebrate a New Year!

Maze Haven from Binky Bunny!

Check out the newest labyrinthine bunny hideout; the Maze Haven from Binky Bunny! Bunnies everywhere will be very excited and very busy with this new hideout...

Have a Heart Promotion Results!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Have A Heart promotion. We raised $693.56 for the Make Mine Chocolate Campaign!

We've Moved!

We have moved to a larger facility! Our phone numbers have changed (the toll-free number is still the same) to 650.652.5930 for voice and 650.652.5932 for faxes. If there are any questions or problems please email us at orders@busybunny.com

Welcome to our new web site!

We are excited to be able to finally refresh and modernize our site. Our site had been languishing in old, unsupported web technologies so we are very proud to refresh the design while embracing modern, clean, compatible technology.

We enlisted the help of Nicole at Neekdesign, a small design and technology company with expertise in web site planning, design, production and integration. For more information, please contact info@neekdesign.com or visit www.neekdesign.com.

For those of you who like our silly, irreverent sensibilities, don't panic. Nicole understood us and has designed a site that reflects our business. Paul will still write the silly descriptions; in fact, now that he is free of the some of the web design burden he will have more time to be goofy. Lisa still rules the Busy Bunny queendom and keeps Paul on a short leash.

Please send your feedback, praise, questions, comments, etc to us at pfm@busybunny.com or lisa@busybunny.com. Feedback will be shared with Nicole, as well.
