I am always on the look out for a cute tea pet! I am kind of picky with tea pets, I like really only owls, octopi, turtles, dinosaurs, and rabbits. Out of all of those, the turtle is the most common find, and I already have one.
Anyways, I found this really cute Rabbit Tea Pet on aliexpress. This cutie sports an ice crackle glaze, which the cracks will darken with tea stains over time!
Rotate the rabbit tea pet!
The seller also had a white rabbit tea pet, a ru kiln glaze similar to one of my gaiwans, which I think would look better over time, but I went with grey in honor of my bunny Bunito, who passed away in 2008. He was a netherland dwarf who I had for 8 years! He was pretty hyper (typical of the breed) and he enjoyed running all over my apartment, jumping, throwing things and digging blankets.
I had my tea pet for a few weeks, but I waited to post till February 12th because it is my bunny Benson 3rd birthday! Happy birthday Benson! In contrast, Benson is a holland lop and is pretty lazy. He doesn’t run laps, and his favorite hobby is destroying boxes and paper bags. When I got him when he was 7 weeks old, one of his ears stuck straight up – after a week it descended.

Today – so much destruction!
As much as I love my bunny, I can’t have tea with them. Benson has gotten fur in my tea and has chewed up tea packaging. Of course, you shouldn’t bath nor pour tea on your rabbit, which you can do with a rabbit tea pet!
