camping up close

beach buns...lisee more soon!

so many forest photos....

....so little time.

CALLmeBUN

indignant bells can't hide his shock regarding my nerve to photograph him while he's molting.

so they're running up hill, all of sudden nuage thought...

insta-nap!

just another manic monday.

moss on bunny

while bunnies may be masterful regarding emotional manipulation, they suck at old fashioned forest games.

we call this one "hide and see"....come on guys, a little effort, please.

now remember folks, these are just titles...i don't REALLY want them to be good at hiding in the forest. they're not in any sort of wildish wilderness either, they are on a well groomed trail right behind our apt, running back and forth (a distance of about 20 feet). mostly they're just chinning the ivy. besides, i'm right there, neurotically lording over them, so please, don't be scared.

the things we do for D Moll...

is this the kind of scale you find confusing? ; )

the unbearable whiteness of being.

aerial view. and yes rabbit guy we have more apple branches!

it's a bun, it's a box, but it's not a feeder.

there seems to be a little confusion about this contraption. so in the next 5 minutes, before mr. perfect hustles me off to work, let's see what i can do to clear it up. this is a container designed for holding a bale of hay. it's not a feeder. the main part of it's design is about containing the mess of a bale of hay once you take the binding twine off. side note: i called my hay bale place and my bales weigh about 70lbs not 50. so even a better deal! nuage never sits there, he's just being exploited for the blog and to give you a sense of scale. in other words, he never eats out of this box. he eats out of his litter box, it sounds gross to us, but they don't seem to mind. they sit and do their business in the back of the box, while eating out of the front of the box. uh oh, i've just been given the "it's time to go!" warning so i may not be able to do anymore explaining until later. hopefully these photos are explanation enough, but for you newbie bunny owners out there, i want to make this extremely important tutorial much more comprehensive....send any questions my way. more later, alligators!

lisa lisa whatever am i going to do with you!? talk about hay? ok!

lisa darling, i was just looking for an excuse to go on and on about hay. as you know, i don't need much encouragement. so i'll take your comment, add rabbit guy's comment, and all of a sudden i have all the excuses i need! now i know most all of you give your bunns plenty of hay, but there are some of you out there who think that as long as there are a few strands of hay in a bowl they must not want more, and are therefore fine. not so. i'm always alarmed by this, typical excuses being: it's too expensive, it's too messy, and the store is too far away. and as true as the expense is of store bought 'bagged hay', NOTHING is more expensive than vet bills. that's all the time i've got right now, please all you bunny experts out there, chime in now about the importance of unlimited hay.

a new hair cut and our new FAVE-O-RIGHT THING!

any guesses as to what it might be???

here's a big clue: this trap door is not a bunny shelf. think: wayward hay.

it's a hay bale box! our biggest bunny thank you goes out to master custom woodworker and musician extraordinaire, sir dustin grimm!

i can't say enough about clean, convenient access to an inside 50lb bale of hay!

a new nuage? no...!

we had a guest bunny photo shoot this weekend!! isn't she lovely?

Zha Zha GaBun!

yo elicia! 2lbs of apple branches.....

a viewer wrote to me asking:

how much room does 2 pounds of apple branches take up?

and how much is shipping?

VERY GOOD QUESTIONS!!

it's $10 flat rate shipping anywhere in the continental US, and here's an approximately 3 pound bunny to give it a little visual sense of scale.


.

until we edit the new one....here's my VERY scientific experiment from last year

i had a lot people tell me that their bunnies don't eat the apple branches that they buy. since my bunnies always ate the apple branches i gave them, i thought maybe it was the apple branches and not the bunnies. so MICHELLE MAY (we just love her!) of 'RASPBERRY RABBITS', was kind and curios enough to send us the apple branches that her bunnies rejected. turns out my bunnies rejected hers too, here's the taste test verdict.

.

hey bells! wanna show the nice folks out there how good you are at sharing?

the apple branch stash....

a tiny little organic apple orchard pruned their trees a few weeks ago and we got the motherload. so the deal is same as last year, except twice as sweet!!! instead of 1 pound of branches for $20 you get two pounds for that same $20!!! email me to place your order.

contact@rubinelliglass.com

i'll be reposting another apple branch video to show you how much the bunnies love them...

nuage admires his brethren

bells does his best wild bunny impersonation

what do you get when you put a bunny on top of a pile of apple branches?

ooops, i have to be at work in less than half an hour...that's all for now folks!

close encounters with the tiny kind...

the bunnies, crayon (the smallest dog in the world) and a nancy drew expert.

meeting 'shift/apple/4' guy....finally!

just relaxed or maybe....

as much as we loved the island and living all cozy and snug as a bun in a camper, keeping these guys stimulated wasn't easy....however, with mr. perfect and his amazing collection of sounds, they sure have broadened their musical horizons. now that we're in an apt with about ten times the space the boys are getting revved up once again!

too sedentary?

outside

from the beach to a forest....5,000 acres and 70 miles of trails.

inside

given the confines of 'cozy living' in our super sweet 24 foot trailer it's been so much fun to watch the buns get their land legs back....sturdy buildings once again!

here we go!!!

Bunny boot camp has begun! perched on a city corner at the tip of the largest forested park in north america we're about to kick it into high gear! or our special version of high gear anyway. so to all of you who have been patient (and maybe even more importantly, not so patient) we thank you! now it's time to get caught up with all you beautiful people and bunnies once again, we're not on an island anymore, we have internet, an office, a job, and boy oh boy do we have lots of bunny photos to post....and close to 100lbs of organic apple branches to boot!!!! so hip hop hooray for bunny boot camp it's time to get busy.

reaching into the archives, just because. maybe it's the new cover of my custom calendar.

i'm thinking about a way to take my procrastination and turn it into something else. the new year has come and gone. i missed the first day of the the year of the rabbit too! so now what? wait until next year?

i could, but i'm worse with patience than i am with procrastinating. solution: i'm thinking about making custom calendars. the start date can be your birthday, your bunny's birthday, easter etc. you just name the date and the year and i'll start it there.

hold on now partner, that's not the end of the customizing....you can even pick out photos from all of potentiallynervous's archives....whee!

OR and this is a big OR,

you can send me your OWN photos and i'll retouch them for you, giving them that Pnervous 'look'. now for the biggest 'OR' of all! if you live in portland or seattle i'll come and do a custom photo shoot of you and your bunny! how tempting is all that? there's more....i can make these calendars black and white or an actual print that you can detach from the calendar page and hang on the wall, 5x7, 8x10, or 11x17. we're only limited by your imagination....how's that feel? expansive? i hope so!!! so just sit back and be creative, bark out the orders and i'll do all the work!

email me with requests or questions: contact@rubinelliglass.com

of course this applies to cards and postcards too. i just found decal material (thanks tamara!!!) so i can take any image and put it on a tee shirt or tote. you all know i've been doing this through cafe press, but their percentage is so huge i never recouped my teensy weensy start up costs. i feel this is a way for me to finally start this bunny business for real. so please send any all suggestions or ideas along...i'd love to read what you have to say.

green bun packers.

what?! that's almost an outfit! what would YOU say if the man of the house wanted to dress your bunny in a green bay packers bandana? what if you had a naked bunny policy? what if they won the superbowl?

the first 'set'

it was our second day on the road, we had just left a colorful KOA in toledo ohio, luckily this was in the truck stop parking lot. get ready bunnies, we're not in new york anymore!

hallucinating trucker.

then there was miss madison

not unlike the truckers, madison had no idea quite what to think. perhaps one of the few things madison has in common with such a demographic.

beauty and a little bit of beast.
