Or she really hates fake carrots. I have been so super excited to write this post. Way back in September (back when it was warm, I can’t even remember what that feels like) I did a very scientific experiment exploring the claim given by a certain rabbit toy that said, “Rabbits love to throw things”. I was skeptical, and rightly so! If you haven’t seen that video then go back and bring yourself up to speed because this post won’tRead more

Nimbus update
Thought you guys might like an update about Nimbus, our farmyard rabbit, who is still hanging out in the building (further explanation). She has up days and down days, and we plan to keep her inside for the winter, and possibly permanently.

Once he was ready to move to his permanent home in the farmyard, it was time to introduce him to his new roommate, Miss Piggy. We decided toRead more
Where’s Nimbus?
If you’ve been up through the farmyard before, you’ve probably seen our outside bunny, Nimbus. There have been several posts about her already. This is unsurprising, as she’s the cutest perky-eared bunny on the planet (Bugsy, our other rabbit, is the cutest lop eared or floppy eared bunny). If you’ve been to the farmyard lately, you probably have wondered where she went. Last Saturday when I went into clean Nimbus’ cage, I saw that she was lying in a weirdRead more
Pumpkins!
Around the Animal Department, October’s arrival meant only 1 thing: extra candy on the free table! It meant good things for the animals too, although we definitely don’t give them candy. They get a share in the post-Halloween jackpot in the form of pumpkins. Every year we get generous donations from people who give us their uncarved, unpainted pumpkins so we can give them to the animals. This year we got a very very generous donation and found ourselves overlyRead more
