Robotic Rabbit Ideal Gift for Bunny Lovers!
I just found these great little robotic rabbits a must for any gadget loving rabbit lover.
So what exactly can the Karotz do? It can’t move around, though its
ears can perk up, and its belly can light up in different colors.
However, the real beauty of this device is its ability to send audio
updates from the Web, based on either voice commands or RFID input. According to Mindscape, the Karotz can:
- Read Information from RSS Feeds, Eamils, Social Networking sites. All from voice command, tell your bunny to “read Eamails” and it will read out your emails to you!
- Play Radio or weather info
- Chat with your friends
- Watch your home from your phone using the built in belly webcam.
Check out the full details and pre order on the link below, this looks like an amazing gadget for rabbit lovers and gadget geeks alike.

How Not to Choose a Pet
I found this blog article, that did make me laugh and at the same time made me sad as it highlights the way in that so many people decide to get a pet.
“On my oldest’s twelfth birthday, I went on a visit to a friend’s house. That friend was dumping a large rabbit hutch. The light in my brain turned on saying “Take the hutch, give the girl a rabbit for her birthday!” The light must have been a distorting black light because in the long run … I made a mistake.”
The article is worth looking at and you can see it here

But Please Please do not use it as the basis for getting your kids a new pet.

Rabbit Feeding, Housing, Litter training and More!
I came across this article today that initially just looked like a load of really cute bunny pictures. It really is worth taking a look just to see the great pictures. As an added bonus there is a tonne of great information in
there about feeding rabbits, houseing, litter training, rabbit hutches, and mutch more. Here is a little clip from the article, theres also a great list of fruit and vegies you can feed your rabbits!
“You also want to provide fresh fruits and vegetables
daily. This will help balance out your rabbit’s diet. Generally, you
want to offer 2 to 4 cups of fresh fruits and vegetables per every 5
pounds. You want to make sure that all vegetables are washed and
organic because you never know what pesticides are used. For example,
because people do not eat the carrot tops or radish top, typically this
portion is sprayed with a pesticide, which can be dangerous, if not
fatal.”
washing your rabbits greens is often something that bunny oweners overlook.
Here is alink to the full article and all the great pictures, My favourite is the one in this post. If you have any great rabbit pics please share them on our facebook page.
