Barny Bear's Little Adventure With Rabbits

We've had adventures with Barny before. We had an adventure looking for creatures and a night time adventure with torches. This time we've recently rescued two rabbits, so we thought we'd have an adventure low down at rabbit height, and see the world from a different angle!

Barny Bear's Little Adventures - the rabbit adventure


Our bunnies are house rabbits and live indoors. They've had some care and attention and been given names by the children.

They have now got used to us, and our living room - including Grace Sparkles favourite place - the Eco-House

They've also eaten half the floor, so it's time to explore somewhere else - the outdoors!

My boys found out what the world looks like if you are only 15cm tall....

The sky goes up a very long way, and it's even more so from 15cm off the ground!

Curiosity satisfied we were hungry, so it was time for a  picnic - with bears and rabbits!

My 4 year old surprised us by kindly bringing everyone a drink of water - really everyone!

And then he chose to eat with the rabbits - they didn't have Barny Snacks though - they had cabbage leaves! My 4 year old likes the chocolate Barny best, and my 5 year old likes strawberry best. The rabbits like Cauliflower leaves best!

Barny Snacks are great for lunchboxes and picnics, and my boys absolutely love them. They are available in supermarkets with 4 different varieties (chocolate, milk, apple and strawberry) in multipacks of 5 individually wrapped bears for around £1.69. What they're best for though, is a teddy bears picnic - with added rabbits!

  5. It's a great idea to get the boys to see things from a different height level.

    1. I think it's always a good idea - it's brilliant when you're a new parent and your child is starting to crawl. I can totally see why they thought the flooring looked so tasty now :D

  6. That's just lovely. Not sure I'd be brave enough to have rabbits in the house, but we had a few in a run when we were kids. Barny snakcks have gone down well here too.

  8. Aww what a lovely post, I love rabbits, though we have very clever foxes in our area who seem to have no problem breaking into even the most 'advanced' of rabbit hutches!
    Your kiddies are super cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog xx

    1. You're welcome - and thank you for your lovely comments! We don't really have foxes round here, but the bunnies lived inside before we had them, and we needed to keep a close eye on them for the first couple of weeks as 1 wasn't well, so it was easier to just bring them inside. As it turns out they've been great and far less bother than I expected :D
