Crested geckos 

Digital drawing, by Grace Moon

Crested geckos are solitary and should only be housed alone (but if you plan to breed it’s ok), being constantly housed with a male will often stress the female out, so it would be better to separate them for the rest of the time). Two male crested geckos will definitely fight, as can two females.

The crested gecko, often called the eyelash gecko, is a good pet for beginners because of its easy to keep requirements, and has a friendly nature.

 Crested geckos can tolerate being handled, they are generally not known for enjoying it and are more of a display pet. They are skittish and might try to jump away, so handling should be gentle and infrequent. 

Crested gecko bites are generally not painful and rarely break the skin, often feeling more like a small scratch or a pinch. 

Unlike other geckos, a crested gecko cannot regrow a dropped tail. However, your gecko won’t experience lasting harm from dropping its tail. Keeping your gecko out of its vivarium for too long can cause its body temperature to drop. Return your gecko to its tank after about 10 minutes of handling.

That’s it for today.

Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are really fast. During courtship dives, male Anna’s hummingbirds can reach speeds of approximately 90 feet per second, which is the highest speed ever recorded for a vertebrate, relative to size. 

 Hummingbirds wings don’t have regular bird wings. Hummingbirds have a unique joint where their wings attach to their sternum, allowing for a highly efficient rotational movement, further enhancing their agility. Hummingbirds are incredibly agile, capable of flying backward and even, for brief moments, upside down. 

Hummingbirds have a fast metabolism. Hummingbirds have an exceptionally high metabolism, allowing them to burn a massive amount of energy to sustain their rapid wingbeat and flight, with the exception of insects, they have the fastest metabolism of any animal.

A Girl Sleeping

School writing, by Grace, November 1, 2024

one of pictures drawn by Harris Burdick

In April.12.1995.…a girl is sleeping peacefully on her bed while holding her journal 

There’s something watching her from outside. She probably was writing in her journal before she was sleeping. Her arm looks broken but it isn’t. The lamp is so bright…so bright like there’s a monster controlling it. And the lights are all on what is going on…Something is going to happen but what?

Wait there’s something in the book…v-vines what does this mean…the full moon is out it’s so bright just like the light. But what is it? Something else is happening. There’s something under the bed, it’s round and it has eyes. Wait, is it a bed monster? No it can’t be. Back to the book, the book is called Creepy Stuff. She’s s-shaking in her bed. Is it because of the book???

“Umm what I’m getting taken away help me. Wh-where am I. My head hurts. I’m getting tired.” When she sleeps a hand appears and takes her away. 

“Breaking News…our best spy has disappeared…she was never to be found again.”

10 years later on May 7 2005…a detective finds the body of the spy in an abandoned house with blood covered in the closet. Her closest relatives wanted to see her so they went in to the abandoned house but they died there no one knows why they died but only ONE PERSON KNOWS BUT THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW IF ITS TRUE BECAUSE HAPPENED IN A DREAM WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG!!!

Hamsters

Hamsters make great pets. They are also great companions too. There are four kinds of species that you could adopt. One of them is the roborovski dwarf hamster. They are dwarf hamsters that are smaller than average, but they still do need a big cage so they can dig.

Hamsters need to dig because in the wild their nests are in the ground and they dig them and lots of hamsters can’t get that enrichment a normal hamster will. They will have to have at least 8 inches of litter. They have to have a big cage so they can dig.

The cage size should be really big, not those pet store ones. Maybe if you’re going to buy one then buy an aquarium from a pet store or you could DIY one with wood and glass you could buy the niteangel stuff too.

Hamsters are solitary animals they like to live alone and if they don’t, they might mate or fight… fighting is dangerous for every animal. If you don’t want baby hamsters then do not put a male and female together.

Here is a list you have to buy to have a hamster… litter, wheel,  food, platforms, water bowl, enrichment toys, and of course, a cage

Bye, see you next time!

Blue whales

Whale, by Gracce

We are going to talk about blue whales!!

Blue whales are super Duper large they could grow up to 100 feet long and three school buses long that’s a lot. It’s taller than some buildings that’s impressive.!

They’re so heavy that they weigh about 30 ELEPHANTS like bro that’s super heavy. Each elephant weighs like 4 tons or something and that’s 20,000 pounds I don’t really know.!

They have big tongues. Their tongues are about 3 feet long. That’s what I know and also their mouths aren’t teeth. They’re actually like these little things that like the stuff that they eat could stick to.!

The babies are larger than me and I’m 4.5 feet but blue whale babies are probably the size of a long car and that means it’s super Duper big. I wish I was tall like that.!!

Sometimes they are loud, but if they’re loud , they are really loud but that’s how they communicate to each other sometimes. 

That’s all I know about blue whales!!!

Killer whales

Digital drawing, By Grace

We are going to talk about Killer whales!!!

Killer whales are black and white because black is like the shadows of the ocean

And white is like the sunlight that bleeds through the ocean from the sun.

Now they live in Antarctica because the food that they eat is in Antarctica like salmon And they also like the cold temperatures.

Killer whales like to travel in groups because they are stronger together and could kill a blue whale, the largest animal on Earth, but of course together not like one killer whale trying to kill a blue whale because the blue whale would obviously win if it was only one killer whale.

Now, this topic confuses some people but killer whales are actually related to dolphins not whales. I know it says whales in their name, but they’re actually dolphins but killer dolphins kind of sound weird in my opinion.

Killer whales can live up to 90 years in the wild and that’s really cool because some people can’t even reach that age before they pass.

This is the final fact and killer whales are really playful and like to jump in the air sometimes and it looks really cool when they do it. Also, another fact about jumping: they could jump to 10 feet in the air.

These are all the facts about killer whales for now!!

Santa Catalina island

Dec 28, 2024 by Grace

The boat was giant and so cool. It was a 179-minute boat ride. First, I read three books in the Spy family series—actually, yeah, two and a half books—and also my mom threw up on the boat. The boat was really cool, and there were dolphins, and the dolphins were so cute, and they were following the boat, and then we landed.

We went to a restaurant, and I ate fish and chips except I didn’t finish it. We went to like a submarine thing, and we saw a bunch of cool fish and seaweed. The last place we played in before we got onto the boat was like the steep, and me and my sister first went to the other part/the dangerous part, then my mom and dad said that we should go the other way, so we did, and me, my mom, and my sister went to like this dangerous side where the water was coming in, and my sister found sea cretures such as anemones. They were cute. I ran and accidentally dunked my feet in water, so yeah, and then a few minutes later my feet were really cold. We almost missed the boat going back to our house, but my sister and mom came and said it was 3:55 pm, and the boat back started moving at 4:00. So we quickly went there, and yeah, there was not enough seating, so we sat on the ground, but first we sat at the top of the boat, except that was really cold, so I decided that we should go down and sit somewhere in the boat, and we did find a place. The sunset was pretty, and that’s all.

Thanks for your support

Dear BunnyPals playgrounders and supporters:

With your support, Bunnypals playground is sustained and sustainable next year.

The blog web page opened in April of 2024, and we supported School carnival craft table for kids with our Bunnypal-made craft kits. Currently, we share craft ideas and small card stuff in the crafts section. We will have plans to share more free downloadable stuff around the year for kids activities.

We/Bunnypals also have a legal selling permit of Carlsbad city and made online shops—bunnypals shop and shop of Redbubble. So far, we did not sell any, but this small online-selling experience and fundraising/lemonade project meant a lot to me/us. In 2025, we have a plan to have a lemonade table in a community swimming pool with friends, try to be a non-profit organization, and share more friends’ drawings.

Thank you for your support, and happy new year!!
