Bugsy’s sleeping arrangements. Bugsy’s hutch is outside on the family’s covered back patio, and he has a rabbit-proof heating pad for the colder months to keep him warm. As you can see, when he wants to come in he looks through the glass doors.
Bugsy spends a lot of time indoors with the family, but he likes to chew on electric cords, so they keep a careful eye on him whenever he’s inside and make sure there aren’t any tempting cords on the floor. “He jumps on the sofa and nips us when he wants pets,” Robbie’s mother, Christine, says.

Bugsy’s favorite toy. He loves this stuffed animal, which makes him a Trekkie — it’s a Tribble from Star Trek. “It’s a fuzzy gray ball and looks just like him,” Christine says. “We call the Tribble his bunny girlfriend.”
Pet’s favorite activity: “Bugsy loves pets, he loves to lie in front of the fireplace, and most of all he loves a piece of banana for breakfast,” Christine says. “He loves treats and comes running like a dog when he hears the crinkling of wrappers.”
Bugsy’s friend. This is Willie, a tortoise who’s a good pal of Bugsy’s.
Bugsy is a favorite part of a blog. Bugsy is also a great sport about modeling for holidays on Christine’s blog, Little Brags.
