Meet Honey Bunny
Hi, friends!
I figured itβs time for an introduction to some of the animals on our little suburban farm, so meet Honey, the mini lop!
We adopted Honey from a reputable breeder in our area who is active in the 4H community. One of the reasons we decided on a mini lop is because, counter to what the name suggests, they are actually large rabbits. Their size and demeanor make them great pets for families with children, which has certainly been true for us! She is very sweet and gentle.
Honey is about nine months old now and fully grown. She lives outside in the custom hutch we built for her last spring under our willow tree βΊοΈ. She loves apples, bananas, lettuce and carrots, and she especially loves her daily hop around the yard!
One of the benefits of having rabbits is that their droppings are insanely good fertilizer for plants. In fact, I used her βbunny honeyβ (as itβs often referred to online) to fertilize my sunflowers last summer and they grew to 14 feet tall! Iβve been scooping the droppings from under her hutch directly into our raised beds all winter, and Iβm excited to see how well our spring plants grow this year with the extra help!
Have questions about mini lops? Do you have a bun of your own? Iβd love to hear from you! Feel free to drop a comment below or find me on Instagram!
Thatβs all for today, friends. Thanks for hopping by! (See what I did there?)
