Don’t miss out on these spectacular savings!

We hope everyone is enjoying a nice long summer. We are running a 4 DAY SALE. All purchases between now and midnight September 1st will be 20% off*. This is a good time to stock up on your Busy Bunny favorites and also get a jump start on some of our new items.

We have two new Double Weave Sea Grass Mats - a large rectangular mat and a new oval shape. These are the best mats we have found for use inside cages. These mats are thicker, won’t slip or roll, and are a great solution to prevent sore hocks for bunnies in cages.

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.

We also have a new little Heart-shaped Basket, a new Vine Star Ornament and this new Vine Heart Fling Toy.

The House Rabbit Society calendars have arrived!! These are our most popular bunny calendars and make an excellent gift for bunny people. Purchase of this calendar benefits the HRS of Missouri and other rabbit rescue organizations.
We also have these 2011 bunny calendars in stock as well:
Rabbits Wall Calendar,
Honey Bunny Mini Wall Calendar, and
Lop-eared Rabbits Wall Calendar.

And if this isn’t enough……imagined drum roll please……we will be including a Free Greeting Card in every order placed during this sale. Each card will be chosen randomly so it will be a surprise! 

A giant thank you to all our customers out there! You have kept our business hopping for over 23 years now! We have been proud to be a part of your pets lives. Please share this email with your family and friends.

*Sale prices are for retail orders only. If you currently have an order in with us and it hasn’t shipped, we will apply the discount and include a free greeting card.

Happy Mother’s Day Bunny Folks!

These safe and edible mats are made exclusively for The Busy Bunny® and come in three convenient sizes to suit your needs.

Happy Autumn to you all! Hope everyone had a good summer.

Now that the holidays are approaching we wanted to share some new items with you and let you know about our current promotion. We have two exciting things going on: a free gift with qualified orders and we are making a donation to Friends of the Oakland Animal Shelter.

Exciting thing number 1: Free Gift!

All retail orders with a merchandise total of $50.00 or more placed between Sept. 21 and 26 will receive a FREE Willow Tree basket in your order (Note: must be $50.00 subtotal BEFORE SHIPPING COSTS). We will add this item after we receive your order, so you do not need to add this to your cart (unless you want more than 1).

If you already ordered,  Don’t Panic! Any order that has not already shipped and meets the promotion criteria will be included.

Exciting thing number 2: 20% of proceeds donated to FOAS!

In the spirit of giving, 20% of the proceeds from orders placed between 9/21 and 9/26 will be donated to the “Bunny Jumping For Joy Project” of the Friends of the Oakland Animal Shelter. These donations will help improve the quality of life of bunnies at the Shelter. The funds will be used for a patio cover, lights and new bunny runs so that the bunnies can get fresh air, light and exercise every day! If you would also like to donate directly to this project, I know they would be very grateful! Every little bit will help them reach their goal. Here is a link to their site.

We have some fun new items that bunnies everywhere are talking about:

The new Maze Haven from Binkybunny is the hottest new item…
…the Timothy Bungalow from Oxbow is also quite the hit…
…and we now carry some new healthy treats from Critter Cookies that are the perfect bunny bite size treats.

We are now working on some holiday items:

We have these adorable Holiday Wreaths from Funny Bunny…
…and our 2008 Filled Playhouse Basket with $10.00 BunnyBuck Coupon for those super spoiled bunnies. Check our site in mid-October for some more new holiday items for bunnies.

For those bunny loving humans we have some new gift items such as:

The cute and useful Bunnies and Carrot Hooks…
…these adorable little Angel Bunnies…
…many great 2009 Calendars including the 2009 Rabbit Rescue Wall Calendar…
…and a new book to add to your bunny library When Your Rabbit Needs Special Care by Lucile C. Moore and Kathy Smith.

For the holidays we have…

…a new Holiday Kitchen Towel…
…many Christmas and Holiday cards that you will find in the Holiday cards section…
…and we are also happy to report that the 2008 Arthur Court Collectible Ornament is a bunny!

We are always thankful to our wonderful customers who have made our Busy Bunny business such a success.

Wishing you all the best this fall and winter season.

Many Thanks!
