    Nikon's new D7200 DSLR

    Now for some non-airshow pictures. This is RO, so of course I need a rabbit pictures. Here's Natasha Rabbitova, with her stuffed friends Marge and Borders. This is an example of the D7200's clean images at high ISO - 11,400 in this case. I took pictures through last month's lunar eclipse -...

    Nikon's new D7200 DSLR

    I've had the D7200 for six months now, and have given it quite a workout - something over 11,000 pictures. So, an update is in order. I really like the D7200. It just works, and works really well. In this post and the next, I'll give some examples of the sorts of pictures the D7200 can do at...

    can anyone tell me what breed of rabbit my 2 are

    If you are in the USA, there isn't any such breed as "dwarf lop". There are Holland Lops and Mini Lops, which are small and medium-sized, respectively, as well as English Lops which are big with huge ears, and French Lops which are very large (and American Fuzzy Lops, which are, well, fuzzy - so...

    I just got the latest issue of Bunny Mad! magazine from the UK, and found that Natasha is on the Funny Bunnies page. She's so proud... Natasha basking in her well-earned fame... Natasha had an extra-large share of kale for dinner in celebration. Here's Natasha with her comfy rug - a...

    How to spend time with buns!

    Try something like parsley or cilantro, which have a distinct flavor bunnies love, and are naturally in small leaves with long stems. You can feed them one stalk at a time, and the bunny will sit there or jump into your lap to get more. Best of all, there's no reason not to feed all the bunny...

    Need some behavior questions answered :]

    Both of the rabbits I've lived with nipped when they first came to live with me. It's just one means of rabbit communication - they don't realize we don't have a nice fur coat to shield us. The good news is that bunnies are easily trained not to nip. Instead of pulling away (that might be just...

    What breed ?!!

    We have a Rabbit Identification Key here on RO which might help you identify your bunnies. By answering questions and following the links, you might be able to figure out what breed they are. You can find it at: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/showthread.php?t=77893 They do appear to be young, so...

    Hay?

    The hay with mint - Oxbow calls it "Botanical Hay" - is basically timothy hay, at a higher price. As far as I've been able to tell, the added mint smells nice to us, but doesn't seem to have much additional attraction to Natasha Rabbitova, at least. She's happy to eat timothy, and doesn't seem...

    Bunny is peeing on me

    It's quite possible he's feeling uneasy and insecure - rabbits are very good at picking up on changes in their humans. He may be just making sure that you and your husband, and the places where you most often are, are clearly marked as his. When Natasha Rabbitova first came to live with me she...

    Is it mental or physical? lol

    I read somewhere that rabbits' close vision isn't very good. They have incredible fields of view - nearly 360 degrees - and can perceive motion very well, both of which are very useful to prey animals. Rabbits are herbivores, so they don't need to worry about their food running away - but...

    Thumping bun

    If she was sitting near the window, chances are she saw or heard something outside which scared her. It doesn't take much. As prey animals, rabbits are very easily spooked, and while their eyesight is very good in terms of low-light sensitivity and coverage - they can see nearly 360 degrees...

    Any breed guesses?

    We have a Rabbit Identification Key here on Rabbits Online which has pictures of all of the ARBA-recognized breeds. By working through the questions, you can hopefully figure out what breed a rabbit is, if it's purebred. For a mixed-breed bunny you can never tell just what went into the mix...

    Mouse in my house PLEASE HELP!

    That's an ultrasonic noise generator, which creates a loud noise in a frequency which is so high that humans can't hear it. I did a little research, and it seems that rabbits can hear ultrasound, so I think it probably would disturb your bunny. I wouldn't recommend using it. The rabbit can't...

    Mouse in my house PLEASE HELP!

    Mice are a fact of life here in the country - the field mice find any nice warm spot they can when winter starts. They're dirty and destructive, so I can't allow them to stay in my house. Mouse urine is incredibly corrosive - I've had to throw away a number of items of electronics when the mice...

    It's for the birds...

    Spring has finally arrived in Harford, New York, after a really tough Winter and cold rainy Spring. Yesterday I saw a hummingbird hovering on the porch where I hang my hummingbird feeder. I rushed it out, and they're out in force slurping up the nectar. The morning sun gave enough light to let...

    Hay - Alfalfa and Timothy

    Rabbits can be very individual as to what type of hay they like. My Scone MacBunny wouldn't touch Timothy, but Natasha Rabbitova loves it. I'd try Orchard Grass or Meadow Grass hays. Both my buns liked them. Oat hay is a favorite treat for Natasha - she literally jumps for joy when I bring...

    ... which is 1,500 miles West of Natasha, at the moment. I'm going to spend a week at the Sun'n Fun Fly-in in Lakeland, Florida, and have stopped off in Fruita, Colorado, for a week on the way (as you do...). My friend Jerry and I took a hike in the Colorado National Monument this morning. Here...
