I love rabbits. all kinds of rabbits. they are a very misunderstood creature. they are sensitive yet stubborn. need social interaction with other bunnies and people. they are determined little souls and of course they are super cute.
This is a thread for rabbit lovers.

I can talk about Lismore now because I don't live there anymore. It isn't just sitting in a small crater but an ancient volcanic caldera (a giant collapsed basin) It's called the Tweed Caldera and is one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. We had a hangi there once (wedding) and used the local volcanic rocks to heat the food.
Myxomatosis is a horrible disease, and the government released the virus! I think it's pretty cool that you can toilet train them. I've been talking to Sage (AI) about rabbits as I write this and she says that they're gentle and calming, smart and trainable and they bond deeply. That's a rave! 🤗
She also said that the word 'bun' is Scottish for a small or pretty creature. In the 1600's and 1700's, 'bunny' was used as a pet name for people, especially children or loved ones. Something I didn't know @Bunniekins 💚

@Bunniekins Easter has crept up on me and I am totally unprepared. I haven't organised anything and have no idea who I need to buy Eggs/Bunnies for. I think just my daughter and something small for those that I live with.
It is also my daughter's birthday next week, so I really need to arrange a time to catch up with her. At least she knew what she wanted for her birthday, so I could order it. The Australia Post app says it should arrive anytime between tomorrow and Tuesday of next week. So really, I need to wait for it to arrive before catching up with my daughter. She wanted a One Piece Oodie, this is what it looks like. At least that is organised.
