Find out about the different breeds of rabbits on About.com. The Language of Lagomorphs - Did you know that rabbits can talk? Rabbits are often mistakenly included in the rodent family, but they are actually lagomorphs, more closely related to horses than to mice. Although they are often perceived as being silent, rabbits have exceptional ability to communicate with us non-verbally. Learn all about the language of rabbits on this web site.

Do
you have a house rabbit who is lacking a sweetheart this Valentine's
Day? Are you worried that your rabbit is lonely while you're at work
or school all day? If you've been considering adding another rabbit
to your family, there is no time like the present to hop to it! Bunny
bonding is an experience you'll not likely forget. It takes time and
patience and all the planets have to line up just right, but we'll be
with you every step of the way. Rabbits have an amazing ability to decide
right away whether another rabbit is worthy of being included in their
circle of friends. A new mate has to be your rabbit's choice. Some couples
fall in love at first sight and others need a little time to get to
know each other and determine who's going to be the boss in their budding
relationship. Once bonded, bunny love is a very sweet thing. If you
are interested in setting up a bonding session, please give us a call
at 405-830-4646 or e-mail us at

educating the public about the responsibilities involved in keeping
a companion rabbit before a rabbit is brought home. Find out more about
this worthwhile campaign and check out their resources by visiting the
