Happy Holidays!
It's been a while since our last newsletter. We moved last spring and it took quite a while to get both home and business unpacked. We've also been really busy getting ready for the holidays and designing a few new toys. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We are happy to announce that from Nov. 15th – Nov. 25th that 25% of the retail price of each sale will be donated to the National House Rabbit Society. We hope you will take advantage of this offer to stock up on toys and stocking stuffers for your bunnies and to help the House Rabbit Society at the same time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Artemis and Einstein really enjoyed all the greens that we grew in our Bunny Garden this summer and we had enough that we were able to share some with our local shelter rabbits. If you don't have a garden or it's too cold where you live try growing some snacks for your rabbits like dill, parsley, and cilantro in a small pot on your windowsill this winter . If you have a garden or can put larger pots on a deck then try growing some winter hardy veggies like romaine lettuce, bok choy, fennel, swiss chard, collard greens, mustard greens, escarole, frissee, and any other greens that are a particular favorite of your bunny's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We all know how playful our bunnies are. One of Artemis and Einstein's favorite games is Hide and Seek, no, they don't seek me while I hide. The bunny version of this game is to hide little pieces of carrots, dried cranberries, raisins or dried bananas around the house for your bunny to find. I hate to admit it but I think Artemis and Einstein are cheaters and watch me hiding the snacks sometimes. I have resorted to hiding snacks in other rooms while they are taking their afternoon nap on the couch. When they wake up they run around and explore looking for their treasures. It keeps their little minds active. Sometimes I hide treats, other days I move favorite toys around so they have to go search for them. Good places to hide snacks are anywhere they don't have to dig, or jump too high to find. I place the treats on figurines sitting on the floor, on the top of their Bunny Bungalow, inside their homemade cardboard tunnel, next to table legs, on the ledge of their litter box, in their hay rack, just use your imagination, it's a fun game for you, your bunnies, and your kids if you have any. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our recipe for this newsletter is a holiday themed dish: Holiday Wreath (Serves 2 ) Ingredients: Red Swiss Chard Green Swiss Chard 3 Red Grapes (seedless) 3 Green grapes (seedless) Directions: Finely chop one leaf of red swiss chard Finely chop one leaf of green swiss chard Slice grapes into quarters Mix together both colors of finely chopped swiss chard and arrange into a “wreath” on a wicker dish or plastic plate. Sprinkle chopped grapes (holiday berries) around the “wreath”. Bun Apetite' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a reminder to be safe with holiday decorations this season. Keep all wires, ornaments, tinsel and anything harmful bunny-proofed and out of bunny's reach. We hope this is a safe and happy holiday for you and your bunnies.
Happy holidays,
Kerry, Artemis and Einstein
