Happy Easter from your friends at MyHouseRabbit.com!

Here’s a cute photo we came across today.

As Easter approaches, it is good to spread the message that:

1. Rabbits are not disposable, low-maintenance pets
2. With proper care, rabbits can live around 15 years
3. There are many homeless rabbits in need of forever homes, so it is better to adopt a rabbit rather than buy one.

Found Animals Foundation, Inc. has partnered with rescues in the Los Angeles area to help adopt out the overwhelming number of homeless rabbits by offering a LIVE streaming BunnyCam showing many of the adoptable rabbits in the area.

Easter is just around the corner, and hopefully many of you are aware of the Make Mine Chocolate campaign which advocates giving chocolate bunnies instead of real bunnies as gifts.  To extend upon that theme, here is a list of other Easter Bunny confections you may enjoy!

• Easter Bunny Cupcakes
  These look adorable and seem fairly easy to construct.
• Easter Bunny Sugar Cookies
  This is a recipe from Pillsbury that doesn’t require a cookie cutter for the shape.
• Easter Bunny Cake
  Another easy bunny construction that doesn’t require a special cake pan- just a round one. (A little different from the Easter Bunny cake recipe I posted about last year.)

Here’s another way to add a bunny into your Easter celebration: Bunny Cake!

This carrot cake recipe idea is from Betty Crocker. From reading the reviews, it seems fairly easy to make. Some people who didn’t like coconut skipped the coconut “fur” and just left it frosted.
