This page is dedicated to sharing the thoughts and experiences of our Buns' new families. If you have a Hot Cross Bun and want to share an update, picture, or any exciting news, this space is for you!
December 3, 2021
We received this incredible update and asked permission to share it with our readers. Some people don't realize how much personality bunnies possess and the depth of love a person can have for these sweet animals. Angie's update perfectly illustrates the effect rabbits can have on a human who is willing to open his/her heart to them.
Angie adopted two littermates, although they were placed separately, after both had been neutered and spayed. Fergus (HCB's Ryan) was placed first, and she met and fell in love with Skye (HCB's Imogen) a couple months later, after watching her listing on the Available Bunnies page for a couple of months. Fergus has the markings by his nose and darker ears, while Skye's face is mainly white with a tiny bit of magpie marking around one eye.
"Well well well my dear hearts Amy & E, where do I start?! Sit back and get ready to laugh and feel your hearts melt!
So the little scamps have come into their own personalities by now. They are amazing! Fergus doesn't care about humans now that he has his Skye! At first, he was being naughty, trying to do what boy buns do. Skye held her ground and firmly discouraged that behaviour. At first I only let her out for a few hours at a time. He would drive her insane trying to sniff her bum, so I would fence her off. They still stayed glued to one another thru the fence. Now I leave her out all the time, he is learning that his "behaviour" is unacceptable! No fights or anger, she just runs away. He's quickly getting the hints. Plus I think the hormones are thinning and that helps. So I bet you thought Skye would be shy and always hiding and watching. I did. Well...she is so sweet and happy and has taken on the roll of leader!! Fergus is the purse holder/lookout/warning alarm!! I catch her sniffing the tables or examine things, he's just sitting by letting her do her thing! Skye is all about zoomies and exploration! Fergus is just all about Skye! They are inseparable, always together, always touching in some way 💖💖💖 usually Ferg has his head or ear on her. You will see from the pics. She is very serious about her food, he always seems to think hers is better even though they are the same! I'm guessing it's a bonding thing so I just laugh and make up conversations they might be having!😆😆😍 I think they are codependent too, which is what I wanted! Skye has only allowed me to pet her if: Fergus is right there getting head scratchies too. She invites my scratchies by nestling and putting her head down. I get so emotional when she does that, I almost cry 🥴 because it's so sweet! I tried to cut Ferg's nails, no problems, I tried the face blow trick and its worked! Only thing, I cut one too close and its bled a little. Almost killed me, I cried for hours. He forgave me but I haven't forgiven me. We are past the molting season thankfully! He looked so shabby 🤪🤣 but he's back to his adorable fluffy self. I saved all the fur from his grooming. Gonna do some craft with it I guess 🤓
I am in love with these two!! I sleep with them, sometimes on the floor and Skye likes to flop behind my legs. Ferg still walks on my head, silly boy! They recognize their names and usually will come to me. My hubby and Skye seem to have a nice trust building with each other. He calls her beautiful, and sweetie when he thinks nobody is listening. He's pretty protective of her! His nickname for her is The Doe💗😍
They are happy healthy and energetic. They love being together, and getting less skittish. Ferg scans but not as much. Skye is just bonsai, first in last out!!! Fergus is learning about personal space, he usually flops right on her, no awareness and it is flaming adorable!! She usually lets him, too. They like to sleep in a blanket nest I make for them. I like to peek in and see and usually, its so cute I can hardly breathe! They always stay in the downstairs area I have for them, even though they have full reign of the house. They like to be with us💗💗💗💗💗 Sweet Blue Eyed Skye has no fear and will sleep on her back right out with us close by, same with Ferg. Right this minute they are trying to chew the same apple wood stick, even though there are like 10 other ones! I love them with my heart and soul💗 thank you both for allowing me the pleasure of having them here!!! I went away overnight to my cousin's wedding and I could hardly wait to get back to be with them. They just looked at me and said, "Oh its you, I wondered where you were, ok going back to sleep now!" 🤣🤣🤣🐰🐰
Well I will close for now, apologies for the long letter but they are just so special and have changed greatly so there's a lot to say!! I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving and hope you have a blessed 🎄 Christmas as well.
Love to you both,
Angie, Sir Fergus of Purse Holding, and Queen of the Castle Skye 🐰🐰😍😍💖💗💖💗"

Midnight Ink (Inky) enjoyed his time at the Midwest Bunfest last weekend. He had some glamour shots and an appointment at the bunny spa. We love how relaxed and pampered he looks! Which one is your favorite?

Oreo and Atilla are becoming the best of bonded buddies! It has been a long, gentle process of getting these two sweeties bonded but, following Oreo's spay and recovery, we are happy to report that love and devotion have been cultivated between them. Oreo is the energetic explorer who keeps her Bun Mom on her toes, while Atilla is the more mellow, homebody bunny in this happy twosome. Thank you for sending these lovely pictures!

Romily (HCB's KitKat) is settling in to her new home beautifully! This lovely lady has an amazing family and a younger Bun sister named Nebula (HCB's Eliose), as well as a handsome bunny brother who was from a rescue. His name is Rocket. The plan is to have the girls get to know each other in the special bunny room created especially for them, while Rocket shares another room with his human and is permitted to visit. The hope is that, after a lot of time, patience, and love, everyone will bond and perhaps some free-roaming can occur for very well-behaved bunnies. We can't wait to see how these relationships grow and develop. May you be blessed and be a blessing in return, sweet Romi!

We were very excited to receive an update on Dobby (HCB's McFlurry) the other day. His family writes:
"Our match has continues to be great and King Dobby has really settled in. We really feel he is probably going to remain an only bunny unless you recommend differently or if our change in schedule changes his level of security. He actually today (7/29) had his surgery and is recovering well at this point. He probably is not going to like not having all his Palace to explore for the next couple of weeks though. Our little bunny ball weighed in at 4.4lbs today. He is such a good bunny and I really never noticed him doing any of the "teenage" bunny things as I read could happen. He is seriously amazing at using litter box! Today he didn't have one poo ball or wet spot in his carrier and as soon as we put him in his Palace he went straight to his litter box and did his business. I really can't tell you enough how happy we are with him. I am attaching 6 month pictures. We did this week get a little more brave and with constant watching he got to go all over T's room, including hopping up a little stair step that she made to her bed. He was so cute doing binkies and zoomies in his new found space.
He is a little stinker about being picked up in general and for nail trims. Part of it is still our comfort level as we just don't want to hurt him but with as feisty as he is I think he knows it makes us very nervous. "
We are thrilled Dobby, a very handsome broken magpie, is doing so well and has been blessed with his incredibly loving family! Be sure to click on the pictures for more detail!

Her are some photos of mischief-making Fergus (HCB's Ryan). He is going to be reunited with his sister Skye (HCB's Imogen) after both are properly neutered/spayed. We are very excited for this to happen, but need to be patient for a while longer. We're hoping Skye will bring a calming influence to Fergus and that Fergus will help Skye develop her more playful side.

Gus is going to be one year old later this month! Time is flying. We were so happy to receive a new picture of this handsome boy along with a view of his wonderful Bun-treat garden. Home-grown goodness is so healthy for your bunny friends! <3

On the 19th it will be the one-year anniversary of Inky (HCB's Midnight) going to his wonderful family. We re-homed Inky after his first family realized he wasn't getting the attention he deserved. He is doing great and is included in so many new experiences as a member of the family. We can't thank the F. Family enough for adding Inky to their lives. They truly are the answer to a prayer.

We also received a fun update about little Nebula (HCB's Eloise) from her BunMom.
"Nebula is doing great! She had a wonderful first birthday. She celebrated by getting new toys, chews, and even several blueberries with her greens. Blueberries are her favorite but she doesn’t get them as often as she would like lol. She brings us so much joy with her bullheadedness, crazy antics, and her desire for lovin’s. She will lay in my lap and only my lap for lovin, much to {my son's} displeasure.
She lets you know what she wants and when she wants it! She is a Queen and she knows it! 😂
She is in a crazy shed period right now and She has not been the most patient bun for combings until recently. I have tried four different types of brushes and combs and she hated them all! A couple of weeks ago I got another one and she now enjoys getting groomed! I got the smallest sleekeez and that little thing is amazing! I even use it on the cats and dogs! I try to comb her every other day to keep up on all that fur. Tonight, I had a pile almost as big as her before getting compressed down. "
We always love hearing from the J. Family and the fun they have with their fur family. <3

Here's an update on little Moose (HCB's Mousse). We were overjoyed to hear from his BunMom and learn how well he's doing.
"Just wanted to send you a month in update to let you know that moose is doing great! He loves to take naps (with his big furry brother around), much on hay, cuddle, and play- he is doing binkies around the room as I email you :)
He is just about completely litter box trained now, which means he is getting to explore around my room some more- which is filled with lots of full speed zoomies that often end up in wall collisions 😂 you were spot on with his temperament and I couldn’t have picked a better match! I hope all you future placements go as great as this one!"

Little Lunala (HCB's Pocket) is doing beautifully. She's closing in on the 2lb mark and we couldn't be more pleased with her progress! She is such a gorgeous girl and her sweet busy-Bun personality shines through in every photo...busy-Buns like to perch on things to have a better view so they know where to go for the most fun. :D

Here are some new photos of Floof and Skipper (HCB's Smoosh and Gracious) along with some cute stories about them!
"Skipper is earning 2 nicknames in our house: Snacks and Bun on the Run. We discovered Skipper likes to steal and try to eat the kids' snacks. He stole a chip from C., when C. wasn't looking, and ran with it. He had all 3 of us chasing him to apprehend the chip. He got N. once too, stealing a cracker. She got it back. We had to hide the kids' Easter chocolate. It was in their baskets, and they had left it on the floor. That's how we learned he has a nose & taste for chocolate. Floof, and Ginger (their previous rabbit who passed away), haven't shown such an interest in people food. It's funny... as long as we keep on eye on the little thief. 😆
Skipper (bun on the run) also has a habit of exploring. If we turn our heads, he'll wander. Luckily, we're bun proof throughout the house - Ginger went all over. He's so funny when we catch him though. He stops dead in his tracks. If we acknowledge him, he'll hop back to the family room - like darn I've been caught. If we don't acknowledge him, he'll go about his business, once we leave. He's a funny bunny! :D
Pringles, the kitten, has taken to herding Skipper back to the family room (no one is distressed). I don't always see Skipper sneak out, but I always know when he comes back, with Pringles on his trail. Pringles knows better than to chase Floof. She charges him if he gets too close. She keeps all the boys in line. 😆"

We have a special update for all of the Pocket fans! Pocket is now named Lunala (Luna for short) and is doing beautifully with her family. She is continuing to gain weight well and has become quite the Busy-Bunny. She loves to hop into everyone's laps for quick visits, but rarely settles in for a true snuggle. She's an active lady, with so much curiosity in her fluffy little body.
Doesn't she look wonderful? A special thanks to the R. Family for sending these lovely photos of their little Bun. :D

Tucker and Haven are spreading Easter joy in their latest pictures! We never stop exclaiming over how sweet these two are together. The M. Family also had a houseguest in the form of little lionhead, Gus. Isn't he a cutie?
We want to send a huge thank you to the M. Family for their thoughtful Easter gift of specially decorated cookies from their friend at Katiecakes! They sent us some personalized Hot Cross Buns cookies that were almost too adorable to eat. (Notice I said, "almost") They were absolutely delicious and we enjoyed them immensely. :D Thank you so much!!!!

Dobby (HCB's McFlurry) is settling in with his family very well. His family sent these sweet pictures for us to enjoy and we love them!
"Mr. Dobby is doing so well!! We were able to visit my parents (papa who was with us at pick up) and my siblings on Sunday evening and Dobby got to go too!!! He is amazing!!! We took exercise pen and put in an extra bedroom upstairs so he wouldn't be to overwhelmed. He traveled for the 30 minute drive very well and once we got him there and pen set up with all his familiar things just like home, he was out and doing all his happy bunny things!!! He did so well getting in and out of his travel carrier too!
He is such a neat little bunny! His area is so very tidy and he continues to use litter boxes like a champ!!! Occasionally we find a stray poo balls but it's usually because he was doing zoomies through his litter box and kicked them out.
He really is not big into lap cuddles but he comfortable with being close to who ever is in play area with him. T. and him are best buds and he will occasionally hop up and lay on her chest when she is laying down."

He really is not big into lap cuddles but he comfortable with being close to who ever is in play area with him. T. and him are best buds and he will occasionally hop up and lay on her chest when she is laying down."

Floof and Skipper's family sent this incredible update today. Skipper was HCB's Gracious who was recently re-homed.
"It took a couple days for Floof and Skipper to become friends. After a trip to the vet for Skipper, just a check-up to introduce the 2, he warmed up to Floof. They're grooming each other, sharing food and water (although they each have their own) and sleeping side by side. Soon after warming up to Floof, he warmed up to the rest of us. He'll run up for head rubs & kisses now. "
The pictures speak for themselves. :D

We received this lovely update about Cookie (HCB's Banjo). :D
"Cookie is doing great and we are in love with her. Your assessment of her temperament was right on! She’s super cuddly and just wants to be around us. She’s happy and healthy!!! When I stop petting her she nips at me like “don’t stop”! She licks me all the time and is in my lap more than hopping around! ❤️ "
Don't you just want to tickle those adorable little feet?

We received another update today! This one is from the wonderful lady who adopted Alden (HCB's Double Dip) and Ellsworth (HCB's Clover). She had been living with them in New Mexico, but has returned to the northern climes in recent months. They are so precious and are very adored and pampered little Buns.

We have some Cake Pop pictures to share and an update from her new family.
They said, "Cakepop has turned into quite the spoiled house bunny lol. We are still not having much luck bonding Buster and her again, so ended up just getting her a separate habitat. They both seem content being solo and getting individual attention from us. I wasn't planning on having two separate bunnies who couldn't bond, but my husband and boys have really bonded with Cakepop and Buster is my little baby, so separate it is! We keep trying little bunny dates and they are cordial, but not much progress beyond that. They are both spoiled and loved and happy!"
Initially, Cake Pop and Buster had formed a very quick bond but, for whatever reason, that bond was broken and they are now living more independent lives. This happens occasionally, so we want our families to know that they may be called upon to house their bunnies separately if the bond never happens, or goes awry.

We have an update from Gus' family!
They said, "Hi there! Thought it was time for an update that only photos can provide. Gus now identifies as a dog. It’s hysterical! He emulates them, stalks them but is very sharing of his treats and toys! Happy little gang! Hope all is well there! Oh and a quick Grand Bunny update! Kona is doing very well. Back to a basic diet! Lots of good hay and pooping! Yay!"
We always love hearing from Gus' wonderful family, who are very devoted to their animals.

Do you remember Blessing? She was the last little Bun who needed to stay with us a bit longer than normal because of her petite size and our desire to fatten her up a little bit more. She has been given the adorable name "Pickles" and fits into her new home like a hand in a glove. She is determined to make friends with the family dog, although Roxie isn't quite certain what to make of this furry little being who tries to snuggle next to her (or on top of her!) from time to time. Pickles seems to think of Roxie as another mama to love. Pickles is a wonderful listener, and with those awesome airplane ears, it's no wonder!

Little Hamilton, a very dashing blue buck, is going to be celebrating his 1st birthday at the end of the month, with his Bun-Mom and big sister, Aurora. His Bun-Mom was very slow and gentle about bonding Hami and Aurora, and is now reaping the rewards. Lokk at these little cuties!

We have some adorable pictures of little Gus shared by his adoring family over the past few weeks. Gus was recently neutered and had some concerning post-operative swelling, but all is well now and he is back to normal and running the household once more. I love the story behind the second picture. Somebunny who shall remain nameless, chomped through the wire on the Christmas tree lights and wanted to oversee the repair work his Bun-Dad needed to do to fix them. :D Silly Bun.

Little Gus is growing up! Here's an update from his family...
"Checking in to let you know Gus is doing great! We just started giving him dog time. I’ve included some photos. Annie is the pup who looks entirely relaxed. She’s our 7 year old border collie mix rescue. Rosie is just trying to be good. She’s just 3 and would most definitely prefer a good chase! It’s great progress and I’m in there to protect!
Gus loves the free time and barely leaves any poop presents, lol. I have taken to leaving his hutch open all day while I’m home with the pen around it. He comes and goes and expects anyone who passes by to provide good pets! I have a litter box out for that too and he does great."
Thanks for the update and pictures, Pam!

Here's little Crush (HCB's Spice) settling in to his new home. His Bun-Mom has this to say in her update:
Crush is an absolute sweetheart and exactly who I needed in my life. He is doing so well here and we all just love him to pieces❤️ He’s so good at going potty and I didn’t even need to train him which was amazing! He truly brings a smile to my face every time I see him. Odie (Crush's new big sister bunny) is still on edge with him, but I make sure she’s smelling him and getting used to his scent. She’s a bit territorial at this point, but have hopes everything will work out when I go to eventually bond them!... I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect bunny than Crush, he’s a special little guy and we just love him... (Sorry for the sideways picture! I can't figure out how to rotate it using this software.)

This little lady is Iris (HCB's Truffles). She is doing very well with her family and is all ready to celebrate Christmas. Isn't she a cutie? She's scheduled for her spay next week, so we are going to be keeping her, her family, the vet and all of her caregivers in our prayers for a very successful surgery and recovery.

I'm about three weeks late sharing these photos and update about Aurora and Hamilton's bonding success from their Bun-Mom, Leah.
"I have some wonderful news, I feel confident in saying that Hamilton and Aurora are completely bonded or at the very least 99% there. The bonding process didn't present too many challenges. When I first put their cages next to each other they both seemed very surprised that there was a new bun in town. Aurora got over that feeling very quickly, Hamilton didn't. Hami would always try to push his pen closer to hers and try to get a sniff or two in whenever she got close. Aurora was very funny for the first week, she seemed very stubborn in trying to pretend Hamilton didn't exist, all the while he was making such a ruckus trying to get her attention. Once I felt they were ready, I allowed them to meet in person, to make a long story short they are inseparable now. 90% of the time I see them, they are cuddling and/or grooming each other. Hamilton doesn't want to do anything unless his sister is involved. Aurora is the same as ever but I do see a bit more of a pep in her step and a twinkle in her eyes since I have introduced her to Hamilton. Thank you so much for all of your help and I'll make sure to send you pictures later!"

We received some photos and a video of bonded pair Button and Bow (formerly HCB's Albert) from Natalee. She and her family adopted these little sweeties when they needed to be re-homed. Button went through a scare with a urinary tract infection at the end of August, but she is happy and healthy once again, thankfully. I love the pictures of them enjoying life and their new home. Thank you, Natalee!

He’s friendly, social and accepting of my forehead kisses. He’s still trying to befriend my pups, especially the one who really wants to chase him. I am sure they will be friends one day." He looks great as is obviously loving his new home. Thank you for the update, Pam! Give our love to Gus! |

Buster and Cake Pop's new family has sent an update that realistically details the ups and downs of bunny bonding.
"The saga of Buster and Cakepop:
Cakepop adapted to her new space and quickly decided she was the lady of the house, making sure to chin everything around. The first date with Buster did not go so smoothly at first. Both came on a little strong in a battle over "Top Bunny". King Buster seemed to begin to submit to her demonstration of authority, but wasn't quite ready to bend to Queen Cakepop's will. They ended the encounter in a state of amicable indifference. The next meeting went a little smoother, but it became apparent Cakepop was playing hard to get and Buster would have to win her over with his charming personality. Buster continued to seek after her attention with head nuzzles while Cakepop stayed aloof to his advances. She wasn't quite ready to let him into her world and kept her guard up. Buster determined he would demonstrate his sweet, loving bunny ways whenever he could by being the most adorable, affectionate little man in her life. He would prove he wasn't in it to win the title, he just wanted a furry companion. Throughout the week, Cakepop was eventually won over by Buster's sweet, patient persistence and willingness to let her be queen. Now they are living together and have been caught snuggling in their grass hut 😁
In all seriousness though, Buster is happy to have a friend, although I feel a little like I've been replaced, lol. They are really sweet together now and Cakepop is warming up to us as well. We absolutely love them both. Bunnies are the best 😍"
Thank you so muck for the update, Kim! We loved hearing from you!

Do you remember Molasses and Mystery? They are now named Lana and Leo, and are happily living in southern Ohio. Here's what their BunMom has to say:
"I wanted to send you an update on little Lana. She has been such a sweet girl and perfect addition to our little family. Her and Leo are best buds and Leo is so happy to have a little sister! They bonded together so quickly and are now pretty much inseparable. Like two peas and a pod. 😊 They are so happy and are so cute together. Lana loves to explore with her brother, take lots of naps, and her favorite snack is oats of course. Thank you so much for allowing me to have these two little fluff balls in my life. They bring me so much joy and I love them so much.
As always thank you for all your advice and for everything!"
Leo & Lana are so beautiful! Thank you for the update, Susan!

We have an update about beautiful Greta (Honey Bea, from Trixie and Gulliver's litter).
"We wanted to drop you a line and let you know how Greta is doing. She has won all our hearts over! She definitely is not a snuggler but she is certainly friendly & knows her comfort with us vs. a friend that may visit. Eating great, fully using potty & plays wonderfully... Until she has had enough & then stretches out and takes a rest. She will be spayed on 12/14. We are enjoying her so much! We hope you & your family are doing well!"

We have an update on little Pip to share! Here's what his BunMom has to say:
"I just wanted to let you know that Pip and I have settled in fairly well to the college scene, even though it has been a major life adjustment. I definitely can’t imagine coming back to my dorm after a day of classes and not seeing him perk up at the sound of my opening of the door. Watching him run around the open space of my room or simply petting him while the two of us hang out on my bed has made me feel a lot less alone, especially on the bad days where I’m feeling a bit homesick.
He continues to be a hilarious bun, often putting one ear up to the ceiling and the other completely down, sticking out his tongue all of the time, and running around the room in circles when he’s particularly joyful. His curiosity has remained as well; He’s always looking for new places to explore. In short, his personality and mannerisms are quite amusing and I’m pretty obsessed with him.
I’ve said it before, but I am so grateful to you for being a part of my rabbit journey and helping me pick the most wonderful bun! ❤️🐰"
We wish Pip and his mama all the best as they pursue higher education and and new chapter in their lives. Thank you for the wonderful update, S.A.!

We received some more wonderful photos of Haven and Tucker today. They have been enjoying spending some camping time with their family. Tucker was neutered today, so he may be a bit woebegone until his hormones settle down. Aren't they cute?

We received an update about little Olive (a daughter of Cake Pop), too. Here's what her family has to say:
"I hope you are all staying well!
I had to send you a pic of Olive being such a good bun in the sling. Being so young, she can’t be carried in it for too long because she wants to zoom, however, she does great in her short training sessions. She is able to settle in and be comfortable being toted around more and more. Today she was so calm for quite a while. She is so precious!
So is otherwise doing great too! She is very loved! Here is another pic too of her poking her head out of her new maze From BinkyBunny (her new favorite enrichment activity). "

We received this update from Donnolly's family! She was HCB's Serena (a VM chestnut doe) while she was here.
"Hi!
I wanted to update you on Donnolly. She is doing so well at home. She loves to run free and jump on the dogs. Her favorite spot is the window seat!
She does an excellent job using the litter box! She loves to cuddle. She is a big fan of our guinea pig Penelope! They follow each other around. Last week we brought home our English angora Royale and Donnolly and her were fast friends. They love to hop around and snuggle Each other!
She is so happily spoiled. Recently Donnolly found our library. She has one particular book she likes to pull out and chew. She’s so funny! She runs around and jumps in the air and kicks her heels together. She’s just the cutest!!!
All the love.
Donnolly and Lisa!"

Here's a wonderful update about Pip (formerly known as Barnacle during his HCB days):
"He settled in so much quicker than I expected, especially considering how long it took Dulcey to warm up to us and her new environment when we first adopted her. The cage that he is in now is different than the one that I had for him initially due to the fact that the newer one was still shipping, but luckily he adjusted really well when I got the newer and bigger cage set up for him when it finally arrived.
In terms of litter box training, he took a bit to catch on to the whole concept. There were many mornings in the beginning in which I had to clean up pee in the cage. Eventually though, he did figure it out, thank goodness. He does still poop outside of the box, but he does poop in it somewhat as well and most importantly, he pees in it all of the time. I haven’t had any more accidents. Yay!
His personality makes me so happy. I love it when I have him out in my room and he goes running around binkying or just flops over in bliss. It’s the cutest. I’m also glad to say that he more than tolerates me, even coming to see me when I first get up in the morning or when I go to sit with him on the floor. He gives me a lot of little nudges, especially when I’ve got the food bag out, haha.
Overall, I don’t think I could have picked a better rabbit. I’m super excited for him to come along with me on my college journey. <3
Thank you so much for being so dedicated to helping me find the perfect bun!"

"Good afternoon...just a little update and a big THANK YOU! Tucker has been absolutely perfect for us and Haven, he fits in perfectly. They are inseparable! He is so fun with his crazy binks and happy honks! He has so many of the characteristics of our Bella, he honks, purrs, nose bumps and chins everyone and everything 🥰 two buns is definitely the best choice! Thank you so much for the incredible job you do raising lovely buns!

Little Olive is living in the beautiful state of Mississippi with her new family. Olive is Cake Pop and Little Boy Blue's sable point daughter. She was always a very special little Bun and had a family ready and waiting for her before she was even born. Her temperament was the ideal match for them from the beginning and we had so much fun communicating with her new family, both before and after her placement. Because of the Coronavirus, we had to do some careful planning and rearranging to make certain Sweet Olive could go home safely, but all is going wonderfully.

We have some adorable photos of Opal (she was Cream-Foo at HCB) and her best bunny friend, Oliver, to share. I was originally very hesitant to place her as a potential half of a bonded pair, because she was a very independent little doe and seemed to ignore her litter mates, preferring to play on her own. I was concerned that she would ignore Oliver and upset him, but her new family fell head over heels in love with her (and she with them!) and they had the space to give her her own room just in case she refused all attempts to be sociable with another bunny. I am very happy to announce that I was wrong...very wrong in this case, and have rarely seen two bunnies learn to love each other so quickly as these two darlings did. :D Sometimes being wrong is a beautiful thing.

Hot Cross Buns received some photos of Mayham (we noticed a spelling change from Mayhem to Mayham...perhaps to to his "hammy" nature?) and a note saying that he is settling well and everyone in the family loves him, which is wonderful to hear. Thank you to the Z. Family for providing a loving home for this bundle of curiosity and playfulness.

Ozzy (formerly HCB's Milkshake) is doing a beautiful job settling in with his new family. They are very talented and have created an amazing habitat for him. He is a champ with peeing in his litter box (poo balls are another story) and has wrapped the whole family around his wee paw. His incredible Bun-Land is in the family's homeschool room, so he can be a part of everything they do. If you were a bunny, wouldn't you love to live with them, too?

Do you remember our wee tripod doe born last year named Peggy? Her family sent a wonderful update to commemorate the anniversary of her adoption. Here's what they had to say...
"She is still the sweetest girl and loves cuddling with us. She grunts and squeaks when she knows its dinner time (her favorite part of the day) and loves destroying blankets and pillows. She has grown a lot in the past 6 months too. We bought a faux sheep blanket for her to run around on so that she has better grip with the ground but she likes to be under it more than on top of it!
My cousin is a professional photographer and took some photos of our rabbits for fun and Peggy is so photogenic that I attached some of the photos to this email...
We had a more normal litterbox for her but when she jumps, she just flings herself without much control and we were afraid she might hurt herself. So now her litterbox is a concrete mixing tub that we cut a door into so she can just walk into it. She loves burrowing in hay so the tub is also perfect for that.
We joined a facebook group called "disabled rabbits" and learned that Peggy has developed Splay legs. We started giving her collagen supplements to help with this.
We are also thinking about getting her a friend in the next year but we need to move to a larger apartment first. We just noticed that she is having a harder time cleaning herself and though we don't mind helping her out- it does make her uncomfortable to be picked up and cleaned. And a friend could cuddle her when we aren't around. "
She looks wonderful and is obviously adored. We couldn't be happier for this wee girl who had a rather rough beginning.

We have another wonderful update to share! This one comes from Haven and the M. Family. (Haven's HCB name was Enigma.)
"She took her 1st camping trip, she's a natural 🐇🏕. She has perfect potty habits and is an absolute joy to us all! She has taken over K's bed and bedroom! She definitely holds princess status! Her favorite cuddle spot is nestled under our chin and she loves playing in her tent and tunnels. We have friends that are interested in filling out a questionnaire 🤗 to be put on the waiting list for a special bunny of their own.
Thanks a bunch,
The M's"
Isn't Haven an adorable little muffin of Bun-ness? Big puffy-heart love!

Today's update comes from Leo (HCB's Mystery) and his family.
" I wanted to give you a little update on Mystery, now named Leo! However, he will always be a little mystery to me. :) He is doing so well, seems very happy and is settling in great. He definitely is a little trickster, loves to run around and play."
He looks wonderfully confident and at ease in his new home. We miss this little charmer, but know he is being loved and adored by his new Bun mom. You're a handsome little guy, Leo! I want to kiss those cheeks so badly!

We have a Twilight update to share today! He is now usually called Bun Buns. Here is the rest of his family's update:
"He is doing so great! Liter trained and so sweet!!! Still doesn't like being held but loves cuddles, face to face contact and for some reason loves kissing my nose and big toe. Lol!! We are so happy with him!!!"
His coloring has continued to change, so it will be interesting to see what color he decides to be when fully grown. :)

We have a Sebastian update from the G. Family! Lisa writes:
"I thought you may like to see some photos of Sebastian. I will say he has become a snuggle bunny with me every night in the recliner. He lets me know if I forgot to snuggle. He's also learned to like taking a stroll in the yard. If he sees us go for the leash he gets excited. "
What a great update! Sebastian has truly bonded well with his family and looks wonderfully happy and content!

January 2019 - We received an update on black tort doe Momo, who was called KitKat in her Hot Cross Buns days. She was recently spayed and is doing very well. Since spaying, she has calmed down and is more comfortable with being picked up and cuddled for a few minutes at a time. Momo loves running around in the living room and keeping her human mama, Bella, on her toes. She has grown up to be such a big, beautiful girl! Thank you for the update, Bella!
