BUNNY BLOGS
The furry mob here have their own online journal at http://furrymob.livejournal.com
Keep up to date with Cedric and his girlfriend, Millie (and friends). Highly recommended reading at: http://dandybun.livejournal.com/ and http://milliebun.livejournal.com/ This blog was originally maintained by Dandy, a bun of great character who very sadly passed to Rainbow Bridge on 18 February 2006. Although he wasn't one of our bunnies and we never met him, we greatly enjoyed enjoyed his outlook on life. His Journal is now being continued by Cedric and Millie.
SPECIAL BUNNIES
www.french-lops.fsnet.co.uk/heathcliffe.htm - Our special big boy who had his own fan club, gave an annual Christmas Speech, had a beautiful girlfriend (in addition to his wives) and is still very sadly missed.
www.french-lops.fsnet.co.uk/penelope.htm - Our rescue girl who'd been left to die in a pet carrier.
BUNNY DUNG!
Bunny dung is one of the best possible fertilisers/manures
Our gang's fresh dung is delivered daily, via our 'Poop-Mobile'(!) to Ross-on-Wye Allotments to produce high quality, organic fruit and veg (raspberries grown in bunny dung are unbeatable!). See pics of what it can produce at www.rossrabbits.co.uk/poop.htm
BUNNY SONGS and VIDEOS
- No, not bunnies singing but songs written by bunny owners for their bunnies:
Bunny Tunes CDs and video DVDs - details are available at: http://www.freewebs.com/bunnytunes Proceeds from sales of the Bunny Tunes CD in the UK support The Bunny Camp rescue and re-homing centre in Bradford, Yorkshire. USA sales proceeds are donated to the American House Rabbit Society.
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=84579061 - 'Angel with Fur' was written for Barney, late-husband of one of our mini lop girls, Poppy. An excellent performance by Steve - we have the DVD filmed in both Edinburgh and Jersey. Brilliant!
