Carrots are meant to be nibbled, not gobbled.
Wash your face whenever you can.
A good scratch behind the ear is ecstasy.
Dance in the moonlight.
Feel the magic.
Families and friends are worth their weight in snuggles.
The world is full of friends and enemies.
Learn the difference. Fast.
Bright eyes and a cute nose will get you far.
A strong hop, skip, and jump will get you farther.
Trust your nose. It knows.
Never forget the way back home.

Rabbits in the wild lead a dangerous life.
As always, it’s wise to heed Mama’s advice.
