Reminds me of when I was like 8 and tried to feed my bunny a pellet with my finger and she bit me in the process.
I still felt like it was a success and it was the first time I didn't cry over an injury because it bearly hurt me and I felt even more proud of myself!

Reblog this on the first of the month for good luck all month long!
Anybody who plays the Sims 4 has probably seen the super adorable Flower Bunny who is the Sim’s version of the Easter Bunny. I’m obsessed with bunnies so I used the flower bunny suit/costume to create a family of bunny sims. They brought me so much joy and I love them so much so I drew them!
Jackie was the first bunny I made, she runs a bakery, loves cooking and loves metal music because she’s secretly a total badass. Charlie is her boyfriend and he loves reading, writing and is kind and nerdy. Petunia loves animals and nature and I imagine is quiet and sensitive. Delilah is her girlfriend and she is loud, extraverted, funny and loves all things creative.
Ok change my mind, this is my new aesthetic

do NOT flip rabbits over on their backs like this. the reason it is not moving is because it's in shock. this rabbit is terrified. this can be fatal to rabbits. this video is not cute or adorable or silly. this could KILL the rabbit.
Two Cartier rabbits, rose quartz, eyes inset with cabochon sapphires and rubies.
the image in the right is from an artist named Lee Boyd which he was known to make drawings of humanoid animals basically i discovered the image from tiktok a few years back when horror slideshows were more trending! it’s just that I love these snazzy creatures and wanted to draw these two, you can find it in the user ma_life_so_far you should check out their stuff i love it!

You may not have taken note, but turkeys traditionally sold in stores these days are made of primarily white meat. Over the years, these livestock have been bred (and injected with antibiotics) the main reason to develop them faster, and contain more of the lighter meat many individuals have come to love. Heritage turkeys are rapidly becoming a chosen alternative to the chemically bred turkeys filling store shelves. The term heritage incorporates many different turkey breeds, consisting of Black, Bourbon Red, Royal Palm, Slate and more. These breeds can trace their ancestral roots back 100 of years, and are kept as closely to wild turkeys as possible. Clear of chemicals and antibiotics, these birds appear and taste differently from modern store-bought turkeys, and more often have a white to dark meat ratio closer to 50/50, a significant increase to common, predominately white options. With the decrease in chemicals and increase in dark meat also comes an increase in price. While you may find a supermarket turkey around $1 per pound, heritage turkeys may cost a consumer up to $7 every pound. Considering you should buy one to one and a half pounds of turkey per person, this may result a very costly dinner. If you possibly can afford the price leap, then consider heritage turkey cause it can be ideal for you. If perhaps you like dark meat, and like the taste of other wild, game-y tasting birds, the heritage turkey is perfect for you. The Various Kinds Of Turkeys You Should Know Of Fresh Turkeys: By simply definition, a fresh turkey has not been frozen below a specific temperature, but it doesn't mean it was never frozen at all. Turkeys can be branded as fresh if they've never been chilled below 26 degrees Farrenheit. To note, because fresh turkeys may still be kept at very low temps, they may have recently been stored at farms or markets for weeks, occasionally months, before being sold. Often ask when your turkey was butchered to ensure the freshest possible turkey. Frozen Turkeys: A turkey will be labelled as frozen if it has been chilled below zero degrees F. Frozen turkeys are mostly the simplest, most economical option found at various supermarkets, though they often lose some of the bird's natural juices, and can be tougher to chew. Not Previously Frozen Turkeys: This term can certainly cause confusion, and means that the turkey was chilled below twenty six degrees F, so it won't be called "fresh", but above 0 degrees F, so it does not need to be labelled "frozen". Kosher Turkeys: Kosher turkeys are raised on grain, and are not given chemical stimulants. Allowed to graze freely, these turkeys are raised, killed then prepared according to kosher principals, with a salt brine soak. This kind of soak gives kosher turkeys a distinctive flavor, and increases the bird's overall weight, which can increase price. Natural Turkeys: Surprisingly, this label does not refer to how the bird grew up. Natural turkeys are merely kept unseasoned, basted or coloured before they are sold. Be sure to remember that before paying more for a turkey with this kind of label. Organic Turkeys: These kinds of birds are kept with specifically designated feed, and without the added chemicals. While many consumers prefer the idea of an organic turkey, this label will not necessarily affect the taste or texture of the bird. Free Range Turkeys: This kind is often a misleading term, as free range does not always mean the turkey was raised outdoors or even allowed a majority of its time outdoors. A farm can label its turkeys 'free range' given that the birds were allowed a few minutes per day of outdoor time - a standard that hardly influences taste or quality.
one time i told my two little sisters (now 11 and 8) that doing the worm would summon rabbits (because they really wanted a bunny but their parents get them one). the younger immediately knew it was bullshit but the older one spent the entire summer doing the worm everyday. and now she’s freakishly good at it. i’m talking like at least a foot and a half off the ground.

We have a shot of Copper after he did a flop in his cage. I’d been trying to get a picture of him doing this for several months, but I’m 1) too slow, 2) too noisy, or he’s 3) got super hearing - or all of these. Being a lop, I had not considered the advantages of having big, flexible ears, As in this picture, he can put one of those big boys down over his eye to make it dark enough to fall asleep. Being handicapped in this area, I have to resort to a pillow on my head. Rest easy, little boy, more fruit and vegetables are heading your way.
Overhead view, while I had the chance to get it.
This is my new housemate, Copper. He’s a 4-year old Netherland lop now in his 3rd home (and hopefully last), loves to be petted and is enjoying some new culinary delights that he hasn’t had before. I’m trying to get him to eat hay; that’s coming along slowly, but he appears to like timothy hay more than oat hay (it’s weird that he doesn’t like it much, but I suspect he wasn’t given much of it at his previous homes, plus he likes all the tasty foods that he’s been given). In this picture, he’s ecstatic about just being petted and is in his position to get some more of that good rubbin’. He’s a good boy! A very good boy!

Once, not very long after Frith made the earth and all things on it, there were three siblings, who became the lords of rabbits. Each was larger, faster and smarter than the other rabbits that they ruled.
The eldest, Owslathay, was the largest and the strongest. Owslathay protected the warrens from dogs, badgers, wolves and large, frightening things. Her legs were strong, her teeth were sharp and her fur white as snow.
The second eldest, Ruhoodu, was the second largest and the fastest. Ruhoodu could outrun horses, the northern, eastern, southern and westward winds. Ru protected the warrens from falcons, hawks, eagles, owls and fast, flying things. He would outrun them into the ground, until their wings could not move from exhaustion. His legs were long, his feet were large and his fur black as night.
The youngest, Flayhain, was the third largest and the smartest. Flayhain protected the warrens from cats, foxes, snakes, man and clever, evil things. Her ears were long, her eyes were wide and her fur gray as ash.
The three lords ruled their lands in prosperity and soundness for their long, long lives until a hunter came. She appeared in Owslathays’ meadow and shot three rabbits.
Owslathay is wiser than other rabbits and knows that rabbits die and things must eat, so she let the hunter come for three more days, each time taking three more rabbits.
Owslathays meadow began to grow scarce of rabbits and each time the hunter seemed unaffected. She did not thank frith for their lives giving to hers, tying them by the ears to her belt. On the fourth morning that the hunter came to her meadow, Owslathay stopped her.
“You may hunt here, not another day.” She told the hunter, “I am Owslathay, the lord of these meadows and the strongest of my siblings, so I do not fear you, human. You have worn my numbers thin by hunting greedily and insulted my people by not thanking frith for their flesh.”
The hunter stood down, “I will not hunt here again, my lord, I will obey.” She raised her head still, “But I hunt so much because my family must eat. I only know how to hunt rabbits. Please do not let us starve, my lord.”
“There are other rabbits in the world.” Spoke Owslathay, having the hunter take her leave of the meadows.
Then the hunter appeared in Ruhoodu’s fields and shot three rabbits. Ruhoodu is wiser than most rabbits so the next morning he waited for her to come.
“You may only hunt in these fields if you swear to take only what you need and to thank frith for the flesh of those you kill,” He spoke, “I am Ru, the lord of these fields and the fastest of my siblings, so I do not fear you, human. I will not have you wear my numbers thin.”
The hunter bowed to the lord, “I swear my lord, that I will thank frith for the flesh of the rabbits I hunt, and to only hunt all that I need.”
The hunter came and shot six rabbits each day, but because she thanked frith for their flesh, Ruhoodu trusted her until the third day.
“You will hunt here no longer, for you have broken your word to me. You have hunted more than you need.”
“I did not, my lord,” The hunter told him, “I have taken only what I need. My family needs to eat and I can only hunt rabbits.
“Did you not live on three a day before?”
“Yes my lord but we need more.”
Ruhoodu turned his back, “There are other rabbits in the world,” and he had the hunter take her leave.
When the hunter came to Flayhains hills, the lord was already waiting, for she had been watching down in the meadows and fields and knew the hunter and Flayhain was wiser than all rabbits.
“You will not hunt here, even a day.” She spoke, “I am Flayhain, the lord of these hills and smartest of my siblings, so I do fear you, human. Leave, now.”
“But my lord, my family is sick and must eat and I can only hunt rabbits.” The hunter pleaded.
Though Flayhain knew she was not lying, the lord would not trust her.
“There are other rabbits in the world.” And Flayhain turned her back.
The hunter did not reappear again for three days, until the morning of the fourth, in Owslathay’s meadows.
“I beg you, most gracious lord of the grasses, lord of snowlight, of moonbeams and avalanche strength. My family starves. All of your siblings have banished me from their lands but my lord I know only how to hunt rabbits. I cannot watch them die.” The hunter pleaded, true tears in her eyes.
Owslathay thought and felt for the young girl.
“I cannot give one more of my people's lives to you. But I know that rabbits die and things must eat. So I will let you eat me. I am worth many days of food, so that you do not have to hunt my people.”
“I am grateful, my lord, and I thank Frith for your flesh.”
Owslathay was shot by the hunters arrow, and her people wept.
The hunter skinned her perfect and moon-white pelt and took the meat to her family.
Now that Owslathay was not there to protect the meadows, the dogs, badgers, wolves and large, frightening things came back, slaughtering what was left of her people.
The hunter did not reappear again for six days. Until the morning of the seventh, coming to Ruhoodu’s fields, bringing with her, Owslathay’s pelt. Ru wept for his sister.
The hunter told Ruhoodu of her banishment, her family's trouble and Owslathay’s sacrifice.
“Please my lord. Your sister was generous but my family starves again. I beg for your help.”
Ruhoodu thought and felt for the girl.
“My sister was the strongest of us, but I know that rabbits die and all things must eat. Still, I cannot give you one more of my peoples lives. So I will let you eat me. I am smaller than my sister but I am worth many days of food, so that you will not hunt my people.”
“I am grateful, my lord, and I thank Frith for your flesh.
Ruhoodu was shot by the hunters arrow and his people wept.
The hunter skinned his sharp and ink black pelt and took the meat to her family.
Now that Ru was not there to protect the fields thefalcons, hawks, eagles, owls and fast, flying things came back, destroying his people.
The hunter did not reappear again for only three days. The morning of the fourth, she went to Flayhains hills, but the rabbit lord was nowhere to be seen.
A raven cawed from the tree above her.
“The last rabbit lord has watched you, human,” its black wings spread, “Seen her siblings death at your greed. She will not come to you easily, human,” the raven cackled, “She says you will have to hunt her down!”
“Greed?” the hunter asked, “My family must eat. I can only hunt rabbits.”
“Taking, taking, taking! Liar! Liar! Hahaha! We all reap what we sow human!”
The Raven was shot by the hunters arrow.
“I knew you were a liar.” Flayhain came from behind a heap of heather.
“Please my lord-”
Flayhain spoke over her, “I know rabbits die and all things must eat but all things must also work for their food. You have gotten by on my family's kindness for too long. You have tried to bleed my people dry and I will not let you. If you can hunt then hunt me. If you cannot catch me, you do not deserve survival.”
This made the hunter angry so she tried to shoot Flayhain.
But Flayahain tore across the hills like lightning, out running all of the hunters arrows.
“You forget I am my brother's sister! He was faster than me but I am still faster than your arrows. You are not worthy of his flesh.” She called to the hunter running off and away.
The hunter came back the next day and brought hounds. The hounds sniffed Flayhain out quickly but the hunter could only watch as Flayhain killed them all.
“You forget I am my sister's sister! She was stronger than me but I am still stronger than your hounds. You are not worthy of her fur.” Flayhain called into the hills for the hunter to hear.
This made the hunter even more angry, so she came back the next day with snares. She set the traps everywhere a rabbit could step.
She soon found Flayhain caught in one.
“It seems I’ve caught you my lord.” the hunter kneeled next to the trap, gloating her win.
Flayhain lay in the snare, struggling to breath but still she laughed.
“It also seems you have forgotten that I am still I.”
“Yes, the clever lord Flayhain. And I have caught you. I have won.”
The lord laughed.
“I have won, you foolish human. I have kept her distracted for days as my people have left. They no longer live on these hills or anywhere you will ever find them. My sister's people are dead. My brother's people are dead. My brother and sister were no longer there to protect them. All rabbits are gone.”
The hunter looked around, looked everywhere for rabbits but there was no sign. She began to weep. No Rabbits to hunt meant her family would die.
“You would die to spite me?” The hunter asked, her tears bitter.
“I would die to protect my people. You only kill. You are not worthy of our flesh.”
For three days the hunter and her family lived on Flayhains flesh and They starved for ten more, before dying, dreaming of rabbits.
I want a bunny soooo baaaaddd!! They're so cute I'm gonna die 😖🥺🥺😫💕💕💕

Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.
I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!
Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:
🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.
🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.
🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)
🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.
🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.
🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!
