Phoenix decided to venture out into the snow too see what it was about but I guess he wasn’t too impressed with it.

It wasn’t long before he had enough and went back into the comfort of his warm hutch.

Meet our new Wi-Fi bunny. He’s already annoying my Girlfriend so much that she can’t wait until he goes to sleep at night. I won’t tell you his name as I have heard that some people with these Nabaztag bunnies have been getting abusive messages sent through throughout the day.

Happy new year everyone!

Say hello to Pheonix and Georgia.

These are the two rescued rabbits that we got from the local RSPCA.

There are more pictures of them in the Gallery in the Pets section if you want to see them.

Well I think I’ve seen it all now. Petsmobility have launched a Mobile Phone for your Dog!

As ridiculous as this may sound its actually a pretty good idea. Especially if you have a pet with a tendency to run off on its own.

The PetsCell not only allows you to call your dog if it gets lost but also allows anyone who finds it to call you. Coupled with GPS navigation you can also track online where your dog is and setup a Geo-Fence around a certain area and get notified if your dog leaves this specific area.

It could be said as a responsible pet owner you shouldn’t let your dog wander off unattended and I for one would agree with that sentiment but it could be useful if you have taken your dog for a walk off its lead and if it runs off at least you will be able to find them easier enough.

I guess the next step would be to somehow miniaturize this for use with cats. That I could see as being a good use of the technology as cats are always wandering off sometimes for hours on end. At least with one of these you’d know where it was.

Only problem is you’d have to move to America for it to work!

Rabbits are the 3rd most popular pet in the UK but unfortunately every year 33,000 Rabbits are handed over to rescue centres and many more are re-homed privately. The sale of rabbits in pet shops make it too easy for people to buy them without giving too much thought to what having a rabbit entails and their care.

Too many rabbits are often housed in inadequate accommodation and are forgotten about by children who have lost interest in them and their parents no longer want to care for them either.

We decided to adopt two rabbits and contacted the local RSPCA which we found through Rabbit Rehome, a site setup with the goal of finding homes for unwanted rabbits.

What I particularly liked about the RSPCA is their commitment to the rabbits in finding suitable homes where they can be sure the rabbits will be cared for and making sure that potential new owners fully understand the responsibility which goes with offering a new home to a pet. They even do home visits to discuss everything you need to know and to make sure the rabbits have suitable accommodation.

Yesterday I’m pleased to say we brought two rabbits home and they are settling in nicely to their new environment.

Phoenix (pictured below) and Georgia were both left abandoned in boxes in a park.

Despite their ordeal they seem really very happy now and are so friendly especially at feeding time and it makes you wonder why anyone could give them up.

If you are ever thinking about getting a pet rabbit I would urge you not to buy one from a Pet Shop but first contact your local RSPCA and enquire about adoption.
