Bunny Updates:
At this time, I plan to have NO more litters of baby bunnies. Please check your local shelters & rescues.
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. ♥

Enjoy...because my lazy summer self probably won't make a new video for a while! 🤣 |

I'm currently enjoying a summer hiatus from regularly filming videos and have no bunny litters planned. I will likely be further downsizing (possibly listing some of my herd for adoption) and potentially converting to keeping my bunnies as pets only, so please bear with me as I contemplate the future of Hook's Hollands.

Tuna's family sent me an updated photo of Tuna...playing in the pots and pans cabinet! 🤣 What a silly girl! Things have been relatively calm in the bunny barn with all the babies gone to their new homes and no new litters. With my kids home from school, my YouTube filming seems to be getting pushed back in favor of a bit of relaxation around the homestead (ok, and maybe a bit of Fortnite playing), but rest assured that the bunnies are being doted upon as always. Today's weather didn't even hit 70 degrees, so the bunnies enjoyed quite a bit of outside exercise time without the excessive heat to shorten their playtime. 🌞 |

I'm sure this news will be as surprising to everbunny as it was to me, but Omelet has left Hook's Hollands and is now living with her new bunny and human family. As overcome with joy as I was with Omelet, her personality, and her likeness to Camilla, she seemed depressed after her siblings left. Her once spunky, outgoing, crazy persona had been swiftly replaced by a subdued, forlorn bunny whom even Storm nor I could console. It truly seemed like she might never be happy living the life that I would provide her with, and so I felt selfish for keeping her to appease me. Omelet is now living on the east coast with her grandpa (Moose's dad) and bun parents. The photo and video updates I've received show her not only binkying but also taking a liking to her bunny friend. The sorrow that I felt losing Omelet is now replaced with the warmth of knowing that she is happy and loved. ♥ |
