Today is International Rabbit Day, a day to honour and learn about rabbits, both domestic and wild. In that vein (see what I did there?), I thought I’d post about the most fiendish vampire of all: Bunnicula!
Outwardly appearing like any other pet rabbit, Bunnicula strikes terror in the hearts of other pets as he roams the house in the dead of night, draining vegetables of their vital juices!
Can anything stop Bunnicula? Only time will tell…
Okay, Bunnicula is more fluffy than fiendish, but he’s still one of my favourite vampires (from a cherished children’s book series of the same name).
Are you a Bunnicula fan? What’s your favourite rabbit fact? Share in the comments…

I raised rabbits growing up on the farm. When my twins were about 10, my parents bought us two rabbits as a surprise. Then my brother brought them a huge rabbit cage, it was a chicken coop. They loved those rabbits and they lived for about 10years. Great pets.

I love rabbits, although I don’t have any. I did get a bad bite from one once when I accidentally startled him– I think they’d make excellent vampires 🙂

So true, I was also bitten by a rabbit when kid, deep and painful!

I must do my part and spread Bunnicula’s name 🙂 I agree– totally genius (the other one I wish I’d thought of was Pinocchio: Vampire Slayer– well worth checking out)!

Well, that’s my knowledge from the day boosted as I didn’t know there was a Rabbit Day (I’m surprised the local supermarket is not doing a promotion 😉 ) and nor had I heard of Bunnicula although I immediately imagined a rabid Wounwort with sharpened fangs haha

I haven’t read Watership Down, I’m embarrassed to say (I have the feeling it would be traumatizing– almost as traumatizing as a supermarket promotion on International Rabbit Day!) Glad it was an informative post 🙂

Yes, it was, thank you!
Hmm, the book is far better than the movie and worth a look 😉 Ha, indeed, they do sell a lot of rabbit meat here.
