Who Needs Ducks in a Row When You've Got Bunnies?

Approaching the end of the semester means it's again that time of year when students stay up most nights frantically studying to tests, writing papers, and finishing projects. If you need a break from the craziness, just take a few minutes to watch the bunnies frolic and nibble. Even just a moment of looking at these little guys can be very calming.

Good luck to all students all students as we move into final exam period. I hope you get all your bunnies in a row!

How Many Bunnies Can You Spot?

Bunnies are everywhere on the UVic campus! Look a little closer at this picture; you may find a few more than the ones in front!

A Website and Society to Make Your Heart Melt

The House Rabbit Society is an international organization that offers information and resources about adopting, caring for, and rescuing rabbits. On their website you can find links to rabbits up for adoption, ways to donate or volunteer, and (my favorite part) the bunny of the month! The bunny of the month has a full page spread of pictures and descriptions. You can even search an archive of past bunnies of the month.

The society also has a blog. The University of Victoria was featured in a post for a not so friendly article in a publication by the Environmental Studies Students detailing how to properly capture and cook a UVic rabbit :-(. But more cheery posts also abound.

If you ever plan a trip to Northern California you can check out the House Rabbit Society headquarters!

A Little Too Friendly?

No such thing!



But do be careful around the campus bunnies; some like to get up close and personal. If you kneel down or are having a snack outside, don't be surprised if you discover a rabbit at your side willing to climb all over you to get a snack!

Some will let you pet them, but I don't know if I'd recommend that. Remember, even though they are cute and friendly, these are still technically wild animals. Also, they do not have the regular veterinary check-ups or vaccinations that household pets do.
