Tea Bunny

I wanted to introduce you all to my bunny, Benson! He’s a 1 year old holland lop. A very handsome rabbit. However, he’s rarely photogenic and always full of bunny mischief.

I’ve tried taking photos of him with tea and it usually doesn’t go very well.

That’s a tea tin under his bunny butt!! I tried to photograph him with the tin, and he quickly dragged it around then sat on it. I guess he doesn’t like black tea. Now can you see why this blog is called Oolong Owl and not Black Tea Bunny?

Before this photo, I was trying to take a picture with a star-shaped tea on his head, and he snatched it and ran away with it! He would also take tea packages and throw them at me, UGGG! Rabbit drool all over my tea!

By the way, it is not recommended to feed caffeine tea to rabbits. However, you can offer your bunny some weak chamomile tea for upset tummies. Does Benson like tea? Despite his tea leaf-thieving mischief, no. I’ve owned a number of bunnies and they usually will drink chamomile tea, but Benson refused and looked quite offended.

However, Benson makes his own tea. I will spare you the picture of it, but he’ll toss hay, fur, bunny poop and dry food into his water dish. Ew.

I did get one good tea photo, as well as a video for a Butiki Teas photo contest.

I was thinking on what is the most relaxing place to enjoy tea. It used to be me, with my cup, hanging out with Benson. I’d pet him and feed him treats. However, my tea cup would get loaded up with fur. He tries to knock over my tea cup by pushing it with his nose.

Ehhh, I think I’ll stick to giving him cardboard boxes.
