Meet my neighbors!

May as well introduce you to my neighbors, Alvin and Lehana. (Isn't Alvin adorable?...he kinda looks like me!) They are rescued bunnies. Did you know that bunnies are the 3rd most surrendered animal to shelters after cats and dogs? It's true! Everyone loves bunnies when they are tiny and cute, but as soon as they hit bunny puberty, they go psycho and nobody wants them anymore. All you need to do is have them spayed or neutered and they'll go back to being your loving, snuggly friend again. These guys are pretty clean. They have a litterbox just like me! (they use theirs a little better than I use mine, tho) Some bunnies can be chewers and get in trouble with electrical wires or wood furniture, but Alvin and Lehana don't chew on anything but their hay. Daddy built the pen they live in, too. It's made of wood so it's a good thing they aren't chewers!

Alvin was adopted from a rescue in western Michigan called Twisted Oaks. He's about 6 1/2 years old now. Mommy has a friend who had a lop bunny like Alvin that lived to be 14! Lehana was adopted from Midwest Rabbit Rescue and Rehome out of Plymouth, Michigan. She was one of Mom's foster bunnies but when Alvin and Lehana fell in love, Mommy couldn't bear to break them up so she adopted her. They snuggle all the time! I wish my Herbie would come snuggle with me like that.

If you'd like to learn about pet bunnies, a good website is http://www.rabbit.org/. If you'd like to visit the Midwest Rabbit Rescue site to see what bunnies are available in southeast Michigan, it's http://www.rabbitrr.org/. Another great rescue group in southeast Michigan is Tiny Paws. They have alot of bunnies, but also hamsters, mice, gerbils, and guinea pigs! Mommy has adopted from them quite a few times over the years. They also have a website- http://www.tinypaws.org/.

Thanks for reading about my new friends!
