Michaela has wanted a bunny for a very long time. I told her she could get one with her Birthday money like Josh did with Charlie. She lucked out though...Chocolate, his cage, litter box, food and some carrots were free! One of the girls I work with heard about him through her friend. See Chocoloate was purchased at a fair for a pre-school. But when Chocolate was brought to the school the director did not want the bunny in the center. So when it was mentioned he would be taken to the pound one of the teachers said she would find him a home and took him home with her. Michaela was so excited when she found out I found a bunny for her. All she had to do was buy him a hut to sleep and hide in when he felt scared. New litter for his litter box, yes he is litter box trained, how cool is that?! Hay for lining his cage with and to eat. Bunnies need lots of grass hay to eat for their digestive system (loads of fiber). She also got him a water bottle but he hasn't quite gotten the hang of that yet. It will give him more space in his cage once he learns to drink form it. Although right now he doesn't spend much time in it since Michaela has him out every chance she gets. She loves to take him outside on his harness and I do to because he loves to eat dandelion leaves! lol He is so cool to watch hopping around investigating everything. KC our cat, a natural predator of bunnies is afraid of Chocolate! lol Whenever Chocolate hops over to say hello to him KC can't get away fast enough! lol Josh has even introduced him to Charlie...Charlie could care less except for when Chocolate nips at his tail then he takes offense! lol Of course Chocolate is the neighborhood attraction for now...and Michaela eats it up! lol He is a great addition to our menagerie. We are all very attached to him already!
Chocolate checking out his new digs...from his litter box! lol
Moving is thirsty work!
Chocolate...King of the Hut!
Kids outside with Chocolate getting some fresh air....doesn't he look like a toy!
Chocolate modeling his new harness for "hopping outside". Doesn't him standing like that remind you of something you would find in an Easter Basket?! I always start at the ears! lol

Awe he looks so cute! You are more brave than I am with pets! :) I have a hard time even dealing with FISH!!!!
Last night I sat down on the couch to fold some laundry and the bunny hopped over to see what I was doing and the next thing I knew he had hopped up in my lap! :) Later I was having a bowl of cheerios for dinner and here he comes again...hops right up into my lap and guess what...he likes cheerios. He tried to steal them right out of my bowl! They are hard work because I'm constantly asking the kids if they had fed, gave them clean water etc...but it is worth it and I am so hoping it is a good lesson for teaching them responsibilty.
