Bunnies

What I'm googling:
What to feed pet rabbits
What do rabbits eat
Rabbit prices

Why?:
I'm looking into raising angora rabbits to card and spin yarn to sell, and I would love just having a pet rabbit, but I don't want to have to feed them. I also don't want to feed them nothing but store bought rabbit food, and would like to feed them something that I can grow myself.

What I found:
The first thing I found is carrots are bad for bunnies! I had no idea! I found this great list of food that can be grown both indoors and out, and hay is readily available in my area all year 'round.

from http://dft.ba/-27X

This site elaborates on that list, and even has a few things that you should NOT feed a rabbit, such as "salty or sugary snacks, nuts, chocolate, bread, breakfast cereals, and grains (including oatmeal, and fresh or dried corn) which often cause intestinal upset". They also mention a type of rabbit dropping called cecotropes, which a rabbit will eat to regain the nutrients that were excreted in these droppings. Kinda gross, but bunnies will be bunnies.

I found a very useful chart related to pellets here. I've copied it below.

(1-2k) 2-4lb - ¼ cup daily
(2-3k) 5-7lb - ½ cup daily
(3.5-4.5k) 8-10lb - ¾ cup daily
(4.5-7k) 11-15lb - 1 cup daily

The general consensus on feeding seems to be vegetables that your rabbit likes that aren't carrots, some pellets (not too many!), and a bunch of hay. Oh, and a tablespoon of treats.

Then, my friend Mike and I got into an argument about which costs more: rabbits or turtles. Obviously, I won.

More on owning and spinning angora rabbits later.

Bigger eyes

What I'm googling:
"Make eyes look bigger"

Why?:
I want to find some tricks on how to make my eyes look bigger. I have pretty average sized eyes, but I want that dinner plate, doe eyed look.

What I found:
Well, if you're Asian, you can get eyelid surgery, but I'm not Asian, so that didn't help.

You could also try LED eyelashes, but that seems awfully expensive! And weird looking.

So then I found this site that said you could try large diameter contacts. So I looked around a little more and found this video



The website she talks about is kiwiberry, and they have the lenses for only $20 plus shipping, or you can buy from pinkyparadise where they're $25, but come with an ADORABLE contact case.

But if you're looking for something a little less extreme, I found this video



with some makeup tips. About.com has some times that include using white eyeshadow in the tear-duct corner of your eye, and if you put both of these things together, your eyes should look pretty big!
