We have the cutest, sweetest little bunny rabbit named Aggie. Our sweet little girl will be three this year, can you believe it?! Aggie lives outside but she is spoiled rotten by everyone in our family. She gets fresh grass picked for her, little bits of celery and lettuce scraps. Delicious rabbit food and alfalfa […]
