Congratulations to Suzanne Price, the winner of the $75 shopping spree. Since Lisa and I may have been biased, Lisa put all of the names in a basket and let Eddie and Candy choose.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Have A Heart promotion. We raised $693.56 for the Columbus House Rabbit Society’s Make Mine Chocolate Campaign to continue educating the public on the challenges of properly caring for rabbits and to encourage the purchase chocolate Easter bunnies (or stuffed toy animals) rather than live rabbits.

Hopefully many of you were able to watch Oprah yesterday (Friday April 4). She did a complete show on the puppy mill industry. It was quite disturbing and very tearful, but I was so glad to see someone with her power and celebritiness (Is that a word?) discuss this topic.

Many of our bunny customers volunteer at and/or are members of rabbit rescues so this may be like preaching to the choir, but I still think we need these reminders. Hopefully watching a show like this will encourage and inspire each of us to start or continue working to make things better for all living beings.

Cute Bunny, Big Responsibility

Think twice before bringing home a live Easter rabbit

By Tania Fardella
Sweet precious faces, deep soulful eyes, unimaginably soft fur: If you’ve ever happened past a pet shop window and been charmed by the enclosure filled with adorable baby bunnies, and envisioned what a perfect Easter gift one of these enchanting creatures would make for your child, think again. It is imperative to know that there is much more to properly caring for a rabbit than meets the eye, and that, contrary to popular belief, rabbits are not necessarily suitable pets for children, and are definitely not good “starter pets.”

Lisa has been bugging me about this for a while now. She asked me where the link to EARPS was and I told her that I had already added it. Naturally, she asked me where the link was - I looked throughout our site and could not find it. Not wanting to be a liar, I added it to our Blogroll and to our online resources link page.

We recently received an email from some friends of ours:

Our new baby is not, as you might have probably already thought, a new bunny. No, we just launched a new website for rabbit owners. Basically Myspace for bunnies The site is called Bunspace and you can find it at www.bunspace.com 

We have not yet created our bunspace, but plan on doing so in the future. Check them out - if you like the site, tell them Busy Bunny sent you!
This last weekend we added 7 new items:

I hope it is not un-American to be working on blog posts during the Super Bowl, but I’ve never been a big fan of football. I was glued to my computer during the Maverick’s competition a few weeks ago, so I’m not averse to sports - just basketball, football, golf, and televised baseball (I love watching the Giants at ATT/SBC/Pacbell Park). I’m not very interested by the commercials this year, either. Fortunately for all of you, that means I have plenty of time to scan some new Bad Bunny Ranch notecards, upload the images, and hammer out a blog post about them.

Holy Cow!
The response to our 20th Anniversary promotion was extraordinary. We received a ton of orders as well as many nice notes and comments. Lisa is packing and shipping as fast as she is able, Paul is blogging at his usual glacial pace, and Chloe & Eddie are acting as if nothing happened. Look in your box - you might find a sporty new collectible pen!
Even though the promotion ended, we are still stoked about our anniversary. Raise your glasses, everyone. Here’s to 20 more years of bunny chewing bliss!Cheers!
