Don't be a Victim of DBF!
![]() |
DBF (Dead Bunny Flop) is an anxiety inducing prank from the demented imaginations of bad bunnies. This advanced interrogation technique was developed by the CIA to manipulate the target into complete and unconditional surrender. (When water-boarding just isn't extreme enough.) The rabbit will lie as though dead, completely unresponsive. Many a bunny owner has handed over large wads of cash to veterinarians in fear for the rabbits life. How to prevent DBF: you can't. The best you can do is negotiate terms. How to deal with DBF: start with a stethescope. Once you hear bunnie's heartbeat, bring treats. The distinctive crinkling noise of treat bags is known for its miraculous healing powers for DBF. 1April2023 |

Bonus Feature: Should You Buy a Bunny for Easter ?
(Click the green links to skip directly to the articles)
(Pictured, sweet Holland Lop from Goshen Bunnies in Goshen, KY.)
Hippity Hoppity, the Easter Bunny is on his way, with all sorts of sweets like chocolate, jelly beans, marshmallow peeps, and more! So what about treats for bunny? Candy isn't good for rabbits, but they LOVE fruit. They can have fruit as a daily treat, in moderation. Fruit is candy for rabbits, and they really can get a sugar high from it. (Just imagine the house shaking thumps after a strawberry binge!) To help you and your bun have a happy and healthy Easter, Raising Rabbits has the information you need about healthy rabbit diets, and all natural supplements and treats.
You may be contemplating getting a rabbit for Easter. What could be more joyful than a beautiful bunny hopping around while children squeal with delight. But then you see on social media, a picture of a sad rabbit with the caption "I am not a holiday decoration." So now you hesitate... (Right: Lovely Netherland Dwarf from Breadbox Rabbitry North Carolina.) |

It's just fine to give a rabbit as a holiday gift. No matter what day of the year you bring a pet rabbit home, you will have a successful relationship with your bunny if you are properly prepared. What does proper preparation mean? Research and supplies.

Rabbits have very specific needs regarding diet and environment. They also have unique personalities and behaviors that are much different than cats and dogs, the most common pets. We covered this on our page HOW TO BUY A BUNNY. |

Once you do your research, and discover what is involved, you will be much better equipped to adopt a bunny. Sometimes, you may even decide to give a plush stuffed animal bunny this year, especially if you have small children who aren't quite ready for the responsibility, and revisit the topic next year, so you can be completely ready.
