August 2024
It's been three years since I closed my small scale Holland lop breeding program and focused on my remaining bunnies as pets. The bunnies continue to get hands-on care morning, afternoon, and night with plenty of fresh air, the best Sherwood bunny food and organic orchard grass hay from our farm, and lots of love. Sadly, last summer, we lost our patriarch bunny, Sunny Jim, who lived nearly 9 years - not long enough but the oldest bunny I've ever owned. And then just this month, our fluffy opal buck Moose very suddenly passed from what was likely a blockage. He always struggled with molting season, and this one was a doozy. Despite daily grooming and digestive supplements, something caused an extremely quick demise, and I couldn't save him. My heart breaks seeing my bunny herd age and slowly decrease in size, but I have to remind myself of the many happy memories (and videos) we made together. Sunny Jim and Moose will not be forgotten. |

On a happier note, I still have four remaining pet Holland lop bunnies: 3 does and 1 buck. Pictured above is Fozzie, the son of the late Sunny Jim and my favorite doe Camilla. I also have Fozzie's full sister, Cora (cream doe), Kali (cream doe and daughter of Moose and Cora), and Storm (a blue-eyed white doe not related to anybunny).
As the bunny barn grows quite empty, the positive side is the bunnies get much more free-roaming time inside (as well as outside). These four bunnies have a pretty sweet house to call their own, and I love them dearly. ♥

Special Announcement:
As of August, 2021, I do not plan to have any further bunny litters and will keep my remaining bunnies as pets, potentially downsizing along the way. This has been a HUGE decision a long time coming. After coping with heartbreaking losses of beloved bunnies, spending the past six years ceaselessly working without family vacations, battling personal health issues, and dealing with the behind-the-scenes stress of bunny placements, I am struggling to find joy in something that once was a rich source of positivity in my life. It's time for a change. A midlife crisis perhaps? 🤣 Nah. There will be no zippy red sports car with hot young arm candy riding shotgun, but I do hope to spend more time with my family and pursue additional interests before I'm eligible for social security. For six years, I have never had a morning without an obligatory 1-2 hours of animal chores before I can eat breakfast or an evening without having to be home for night feedings. Eventually, I'd like to experience that freedom once again, but for now, I will slowly begin to reduce my obligations.
What about your website and videos? I will 100% be keeping this website open and continuing to update the wealth of bunny care resources and am already at work revising the content. As for my YouTube channel, I anticipate continued videos but with less frequency. I won't go into details, but suffice it to say I reap minimal benefits from immense investment of my time and effort. Sewing is relaxing, sew I hope to keep the Lop Shop stocked with bunny comfort items, and the Merch Shop is always available when you need some bunny-themed duds. Thank you all for your continued support and understanding. ♥
