bunnies

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/24466011

I enjoy Will Quinn's daily bunnies, but it's pretty much the only thing I go onto Bluesky for.

So... I created an unofficial mirror here:

!dailybunnies@lemmings.world

dailybunnies@lemmings.world

If you're on Bluesky give them a follow there as well please, and have a look at my Daily Bunnies custom feed

Saw this on a pole while on a walk, figured it looked like a bunny.

TL;DR:

• 1. Give them somewhere they can hide and take shelter. This doesn't necessarily mean construction with wood and hammers, it can be growing a bush, leaving sticks and brush piles around, or letting grass grow tall.
• 2. Plant stuff they like to eat. Lettuce, carrots, clover, raspberries, blackberries; stuff with bark during the winter.
• 3. Give them water to drink.
• 4. Help them stay safe from predators. Item 1, giving shelter, is probably the best you can do for wild predators. Dogs and cats also prey on rabbits. Article says to keep cats indoors, and use a fence to keep dogs in a certain area because rabbits are smart enough to know they'll be safe due to the fence.

And because it is a TL;DR of the article, article also reminds people about neighbors that may not want rabbits around, especially in case the rabbits eat things they are growing, and that they might take various actions to repel rabbits, counteracting your efforts. Matters way less if you have a big area or are far away from your neighbors—if rabbits coming to your place won't necessarily mean they have a good chance to visit your neighbor too.

Thought people might want to know. I literally just found out about this community. It currently has been inactive for 2 years, but if anyone finds void bunnies…

I personally found this entertaining, but if stuffed animal bunnies are not what !bunnies@lemmy.world wants to see, let me know and I'll delete this

Thought I'd change it up a bit from the pictures and videos I have been posting.

For many, having a rabbit occasionally hop through the lot is a valuable experience.

I've never felt more validated by an academic article in my entire life.

Photo taken from far away so very low-quality pic.

Pleasant narration in my opinion, but can just be watched as cute bunny footage without audio.

Probably worth mentioning bunnies can sleep with their eyes open.

I want to say yes. Although the websites I find consistently say that "bunny" refers to the rabbit (rabbit ≠ hare for the uninitiated, they are different species), they do have similar behaviors and looks. And this is not strictly a pet rabbit community, so the fact that hares are very hard to domesticate doesn't really impact what gets posted here.

However, I also think the input of people in the community is important. If people who browse and/or post on !bunnies@lemmy.world don't want hare content included then I'm not going to make the change and allow hare content.
