We made a couple of Birth Announcements on the Baby Holland Lops page. :) There are 10 new arrivals in the rabbitry and all look fat and healthy!
Just as wonderful is the news that little Gracious has been matched with a very loving family who adopted one of Molly's beautiful frosty does in the spring of 2020. He will join his new Bun sister Floof as soon as she recovers sufficiently from her spay to not be stressed out by his arrival. We are so excited that Floof is going to have a brother!

We have been busily taking photos of Isla's babies and Wee Pocket, as well as Gracious, and we may have even found some extra time to make a couple of short videos of them. The lighting isn't terrific, but you can get the idea. :) |

HCB's Gracious is back with us for re-homing. In the 24-hours since he took up residence, we have found him to be absolutely delightful. He is sweet, inquisitive, and seeks attention. The next think to do is to find out if he enjoys other bunnies and would be suitable as part of a bonded pair. He is a beautiful little neutered buck, who was born August 12, 2019, so is 1.5 years old. He seems to be settling in very well and we are smitten already! |

Little Cool Whip has been placed with his new BunMom, June! Did you catch that pronoun? While we were clipping Cool Whip's nails about an hour before her arrival, we realized that Cool Whip was sporting some boy-bits that hadn't been there the previous week. Well, poo balls. After quickly texting the very understanding June to inform her of our astonishing discovery, we were able to breathe a sigh of relief in knowing that all would be well. Cool Whip is still his sweetly spunky self, whether buck or doe, but he certainly melted into June's arms as though he belonged there. We hope that they will be a wonderful blessing to each other for many years to come. |

We were contacted by the family who adopted one of our black bucks in October 2019. They have asked for our help in re-homing him because he has not been receiving the time and attention he deserves. He is scheduled to arrive back at Hot Cross Buns on Sunday afternoon. He has been neutered and is reported as being a fairly laid-back little guy. We will reassess him and share more information when he is ready to be listed.

We have a Birth Announcement to share! Cupcake & Luigi are the proud parents of four little ones. One is a peanut, so there are three healthy babies to love. They were born at approximately 11am on Valentine's Day. For more information, hop on over to the Baby Holland Lops page. :D

We said a loving "good-bye" to Moon Pie this morning. She is en route to her new home with her Forever Family. Not only does she get to celebrate her homecoming, but she will also celebrate the youngest family member's birthday with them, too! There are plans for updating photos of Cool Whip and the little Buns, who now have names. Molly's baby is called Pocket because it looks for cozy pockets of warmth wherever it goes. Isla's brood, named by one of our delightful waiting list families, are Oreo, Blizzard, and McFlurry. Perfect names for this polar vortex chill we are feeling. Stay warm, everybunny! Update: New pictures have been posted on the Baby Holland Lops page! |

We have updated photos of Cool Whip and Moon Pie on their listings on the Available Bunnies page. Both of these little beauties have been matched and are awaiting their pick-up days! I totally forgot to switch backdrops, so it can be difficult to discern today's photos from last weeks'. We also updated the photos of Molly and Isla's litters. The cute factor is already sky-rocketing. :D Their photos are on the Baby Holland Lops page, along with brief updates. |

This is a non-Bun related message.
I announced at the beginning of the year that I'm involved in a de-cluttering/organizing group/class called "Take Your House Back." I'm making some progress and have gotten to one of my more difficult areas: homeschool curriculum and resources. I have a HUGE amount of resources I would like to sell, so if you are a teacher, home educator, parent who wants to build a nice library in your home to help combat Covid boredom, please let me know if there is something you are looking for. I have Christian Light, My Father's World, Math-U-See, Teaching Textbooks, Beautiful Feet, many, many SonLight books (no guides, as we sold them early on and kept the books), and assorted miscellaneous supplies, manipulatives, etc. These things range in age groups from early learning through high school, so we have covered a lot of ground. Many items are brand new/unused, while most others have been gently used and loved. I'm in the process of sorting through it all by company, so if you are looking for something, please email and I will try to find it for you. I'm going to list most of it on Facebook Marketplace for local pick-up in the next week or two, but if you reach out to me soon, I would rather get it in the hands of Bun-friends and families. Please spread the word if you know any families who would benefit! Thank you!
I promise the next post will be Bun-related. :D

Cool Whip and Moon Pie have both been matched with some really nice people. We will be counting down the days until they get to meet their baby Buns
I promised photos of the newest babies this weekend and I will deliver! They will be posted by 10pm, unless the internet crashes. :D
ETA: Pictures have been posted, with two minutes to spare!

Our beloved Joshua (now Thor) and Mrs. Lynde (now Daisy) have gone to their new homes. We know it is going to be a wonderful placement for both of them, but it was very hard to let Joshua go. After him being a personal favorite of mine for over four years, I had planned to keep him forever and always. Along came a wonderful family who wanted two bunnies to love and, after seeing how beautifully he and Mrs. Lynde got along on their first bunny dating experiment, I knew we couldn't be selfish and keep this sweet boy to ourselves. He has the ability to melt hearts wherever he goes. He will help keep Mrs. Lynde from getting too independent and we hope, with time and patience, they will fall in love with their new family and enjoy their lives as pampered pets. Best wishes to Daisy, Thor, and the K Family! |

We completed the listings for the two little does, Moon Pie and Cool Whip, and have started to work with our first waiting list family interested in a doe.
We posted birth announcements yesterday on the Baby Holland Lops page about Molly and Isla's new litters. They are all doing well so far. :)

Buckeye has a new name and a new family! He is now known as Max and he has gone to be the beloved pet Bun of Sarah C. of Ohio. We are so excited for him to begin his new adventure of life with his Forever Family. We will miss him, but we know he will be very loved. We met another wonderful family today who are interested in Mrs. Lynde and our retired buck, Joshua. I had to pray long and hard about whether I could say goodbye to Joshua, as we had always planned to keep him as a pet. We talked about bonding him with Mrs. Lynde and, when they were introduced to each other, they got along beautifully. Seeing that they would both receive more love and attention in a family setting, we asked to meet with the K. Family to see how they interacted with the Buns, and the Buns with them. It all went very well, so Joshua and Mrs. Lynde will be joining their new family as soon as all is ready for them to begin their new lives with them. |

Buckeye/Norman has been matched! After a couple of other interested families had to back out due to circumstances beyond their control, we finally have what promises to be a wonderful home for him. He will be traveling to his new home this weekend and we can't tell you how excited we are for him and his new family. We have gotten very attached to the little guy while he has been back with us, but it will be so rewarding to know that he is with a family who will love getting to know him and spending time with him.
We added some new pictures on the Happy Results page, if any of you are looking for some new adorable Bun pictures to enjoy. :D

It has been an eventful day at the rabbitry! First of all, Cupcake finally allowed herself to be bred so, if all goes well, she and Luigi could have some new little Buns in mid-February. We were busily making new videos and taking pictures of Buckeye/Norman, Sukie, Cool Whip, and Moon Pie, so be sure to visit the Baby Holland Lops and Available Bunnies pages to see all of the Bun cuteness. |

Have you seen the newest doe to arrive at the rabbitry? She was added to the Meet the Hot Cross Buns page a few days ago, but it slipped my mind to make an announcement here. This beautiful girl is Jenny (short for Genevieve) and she is a blessing given to us by our friends at Hook's Hollands. You will recognize her from Diane's videos. She was originally called Apple (actually Apple Crisp), but as we have already had an Apple Crisp and and Apple Jane (who was our second Bun to join the rabbitry), we decided a new name was in order and she seems to enjoy being our little Jenny. She is a lovely cream doe and we hope she will be an excellent mother to her future babies. We can't thank Diane at Hook's enough for giving this sweet little girl to us. We love her already! |
