Oswald was not amused by the sombrero. Had to keep the tradition of the sombrero from Thumper going. Hoppy Cinco de Mayo 🪇
My name is Thumps (short for Thumper) and my hoomins think I'm a grump even though they spoil me. I' Hi. I'm a Netherland Dwarf Bunny 🐰 and weigh about 2.5 lbs.
(4)
Daddy, 1 of the 2 hoomins, adopted me July 21, 2015 but I was born in 2013. Dad does not know my birth date so he made it Cinco de Mayo! Mommy met me in October and I love her because she is my gatekeeper and lets me out to explore. The hoomins started this page to show off my personality. I'm sure the constant photos and videos will annoy me but I hope you enjoy so it's worth it. - 🐰

Today would have been Thumper's 11th birthday.
We wish we were making you up your birthday platter in the shape of an 11, getting out your birthday hat, spoiling you with nanners, head pats, and bugging you with love all day.
Thumper, we miss you every day. We miss your thumps, your antics, your love of sunbeams, how you would work with us and hang by our feet, your visits outside your room and how you'd thump to announce your presence as you came in our room, how you'd sit next to dad as we binge-watched something in the bedroom, and so, so much more. We wish you got to meet your hoomin brother. We were looking forward to you hanging with us in the nursery during late night feedings and changes. (Oswald will get there one day, if he stops biting everything! 😅)
We hope you're getting all the nanners, head pats, and sun beams, especially today. 🤍 Happy birthday, buddy boo.
May the Fourth Be With You...from our little sith bun. He gets to celebrate Revenge of the Fifth tomorrow 😈
I'm not amused the hoomins are trying to make me a flower.
Note from the hoomins: bought Ozzie a better "cone of shame" for night time when we can't watch him. He likes this one a lot better but is still trying to escape out of it. He's recovering quite well and we're hoping to stop using the "cone" in a few days. Little guy sadly can't be trusted with his "area" that is still healing.
"Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"
Such a tortured little intern at the poet's department.
"My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys" is Oswald's name... Because then he is mad at us hoomins like it's our fault.
Thanks to for the edit! 😂
Home sweet home ... But WHAT THE COCOPUFFS IS THIS THING ON MY NECK?!
Hoomin Note: Oswald is home from his overnight stay after his neutering. He has to be restricted in movement (confined to a smaller area with less cottages) and is on pain medicine, an antibiotic, and critical care feedings until eating on his own fully. He already has made some p**ps and is chewing at his pen to escape. Thanks for all the love yesterday 🥰
Oswald's neutering had a few complications and he's staying overnight for observation to be cautious. We got to visit him this evening and give him some love. He'll be back in his kingdom, minus some castles, sometime tomorrow 🤍
Spring cleaning... Myself. The hoomins dared to hold me and now I need a big bath. Gross hoomin germs
Hoppy Easter, everybunny!
We have a little family secret to share: this past week we welcomed the newest family member, our son! 🥰
We originally planned to announce him with Thumper and his ultrasound, but we never got the chance. It's a bittersweet day missing Thumper but celebrating Ozzie and our son's first Easter.
We hope you had a hoppy holiday 🐰

Know the difference. One can be cuddled, picked up and brought everywhere. One requires ample space to run & jump. One is very delicate and doesn’t like to be picked up. One p**ps like there’s no tomorrow. You’re better off buying chocolate instead!
I may be sleeping but I still want my prison open. I just always want the option. (Hoomin note: it's a very large playpen)
This Easter, do not bring a rabbit home unless you’re ready to care for one as you would yourself.
Took a break from my kibble, hay, nap, rinse, repeat routine to say hi to Mom as she works and remind her I REQUIRES HEAD PATS. okay, back to sleep time. 😴 It's the ✨ baby bun ✨ life.
Ozzie got radicchio for the first time the other night! This was Thumper's favorite. Definitely brought up a lot of emotions hearing that certain crunching sound again ❤️
Today's baby bun entertainment brought to you by
Hoppy Valentine's Day 🤍 Hope you got some extra snacks and goodies today!
"Karma is the guy on the Chiefs" 🎵 Go Taylor's boyfriend! 🤣 He's on the team wearing RED 😉 Hoppy Superbowl, Taylor's Version 🏈✨
Went through all these pages to try to find an assistant to help me organize and prepare the World Domination plans left to me by Thumper... Still haven't found one. Any volunteers? 😈
Ozzie and Lyla Bear had a supervised visit this week! Ozzie was so intimidated by her when he first joined the family that he'd run away from the gate if he heard her. Now, his Napoleon complex is kicking in and he's ready to make her his noble steed, as she was for Thumper.
It's a bunny butt Friday! Ozzie loves to lay out and sploot.
Thank you Beth and the Huff Sanctuary for the Oswald Pins from Disneyland to welcome Oswald to the family!
We cannot thank you enough!! We hope you, Jeremy, Gracie, Georgie, P**a, Holly, and Letty had bunderful holiday!
Condolences and love to you on Dustykins 🌈🤍
We mentioned we don't have the capacity to post every card we received this year. However, some amazing bun friends gifted items along with their card and we cannot let that kindness go without recognition. 🤍
Thank you Scotch & hoomin Rochelle for the sweet holiday gifts with your Bunmas card!
From the bunny keychain, to the many custom stickers of Thumper, to the ornament with the beautiful dedication to Thumper etched on it, your kindness and love touched us so deeply. We cannot thank you enough for this!!! We hope you both had a wonderful holiday.

Yesterday was two months since Thumper went over the rainbow bridge. We're glad he led us to Ozzie but still miss and grieve him deeply. 🤍
🎆 Hoppy New Year! 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 2️⃣ 4️⃣ ✨
The tradition of the New Years hat continues 🤍
We've received so many cards this holiday season. (And we know even more are on the way!)
Thank you from Oswald and us for the beautiful cards, with so many having sweet notes in memory of Thumper.
We don't have the capacity to post individually this year, but we hope you know how much every single one has meant to us. ❤️
Hoppy holidays 🐰🎄
Merry Bunmas!! 🎄🐰 I hopes your dayz is fullz of treatzers, hayz, kibblez, and chaos!
Case of the Mondazeee 😴
Baby Bun life update: Ozzie likes to snack & p**p, RUN, and then CRASH. And he crashes hard! He's truly a baby. One second he's doing sprints and the next he just flops and falls over. 😅
Bunmas Day 2 of our 12 day advent calendar from Petco! Today is a pumice stone!
Our new family member is settling in and learning just about every book and crany he can get into.
We know online photos often make our pets look larger than they are. To demonstrate how small Oswald is, I added a picture with my hand to compare. He's such a baby! At the vet he weighed only 0.63 kg (about 1.39 lbs)! In comparison, Thumper was adopted at ~2 years old and weighted ~2.5 lbs most of his life.
Ozzie is settling in to his new kingdom and awaiting orders on how to continue Thumper's world domination plans.
✨ Introducing Oswald ✨
We adopted him Sunday, December 3rd. He is approximately 8 weeks old. At the vet appointment Thursday, we had a small gender reveal and... it's a boy!
About a week before getting Oswald, we decided to start connecting with rescues so we could look for a Netherland Dwarf. Within a week, multiple litters of Nethies were rescued. We'll share his rescue journey story soon!
Our house has been heavy with grief the past month missing Thumper. Ozzie has brought joy and chaos to help ease the grief just enough that we aren't feeling as completely broken and miserable. We are still actively grieving the loss of Thumper, but are happy to welcome our hearts and home to a bunny in need.
We chose the name Oswald as it's another Disney rabbit name, like Thumper. We can't wait to start collecting Oswald items as well!

Oswald is old enough now to try out different greens! We gave him some romaine lettuce and I think he likes it! 😋 That little tongue went crazy! 😂 Both of us hoomins got teary eyed when we heard that crunching sound again. We missed it so much 🤍
We got an Advent Calendar from @petco of Small Animal Toys and I think Oswald approves!

Here's a critical care feeding from last night. We're still seeing good amount of poops from Thumper and he's getting better at taking critical care without a huge fight... That or mom is getting better at giving it! 5 days until teeth procedure.
Lil bath time video. So happy to have Thumper back home. He had a good poop today (pics on stories) and he's showing sass still, of course. Thank you for all of your prayers, support, thoughts, and well wishes. ❤️
Not much news to share for our evening update. Thumper is remaining hospitalized with only one small poop. Doc is saying hopefully there will be a poop explosion overnight as it normally happens at night. One thing that made us laugh and showed Thumper is still fighting and is in there under all this: we were told Thumper has to go back on Gabapentin because he chewed through his IV!!! That lil stinker! Even hospitalized, he tells the hoomins who's boss! Video from our visit midday
Mommy started streaming on a thing called Twitch. Sometimes viewers get enough points to redeem seeing me. (Is this site called Twitch because of bunny noses twitching?!) Anyway, here's a clip of one of my appearances. I don't really like being picked up often so appearances cost a lot of points. You can see my mommy and rarely me here: Latte Lexa 🐰
