Why Bunnies Should Buy Farm Fresh Celery
Why Bunnies Should Buy Farm Fresh Celery
In blind taste tests, 4 out of 5 rabbits can’t tell the difference between celery purchased at a local supermarket and that bought directly from farmers. That’s according to a new study out today from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Still, experts advise that while store brand celery might save a few cents, it is better to purchase farm fresh when available. “Not only can you talk directly to the people who grow your celery and find out what went into it – pesticides, fertilizers, labor practices – but you’re also supporting local food systems,” says Katie Greenhorn, the founder of Southern California Rabbits for Real Food, an organization that helps small farmers sell directly to bunnies.

SHOCKING: Carrot Massacre Photo Released
Police have released a grisly photo from Monday’s Carrot Massacre, in which a local bunny rabbit brutally ate a dozen innocent carrots. The picture shows the bunny, Hopalong Steve, shortly after being taken into custody and loaded onto a paddy wagon. The chilling photo depicts a grinning Steve, still covered in carrot juice.
Steve is being held at the county jail pending a bail hearing next week.

POLL: Bunnies Prefer Lettuce to Carrots
POLL: Bunnies Prefer Lettuce to Carrots
The age-old stereotype that carrots are bunnies’ favorite food may be waning. A new Marist Poll finds that 72% of rabbits actually prefer lettuce over the traditional orange root.
The poll’s sample consists of 1,000 bunnies and spans most breeds and socio-economic backgrounds. Interestingly, bunnies with an annual income of $150,000 or more prefer lobster.

Kitten Crashes Bunny Convention
Kitten Crashes Bunny Convention
The 46th annual International Bunny Convention – held in Chicago this year – was off to a great start, according to organizer Christine Hill.
“Lunch was underway, guests were really enjoying themselves,” she tells The Fluffington Post.
That’s when the trouble started.
“The kitten blew right through security and started a food fight on the convention floor,” says Hill. “There was lettuce everywhere.”
The kitten fled the scene before officials could question her, but witnesses say the smirk on her face suggests a motive of “hijinks.”
