One pet that is easy to care for and is not demanding is the Common Dust Bunny (fluffus delicus timidus sporadicus (L.)) however it must be captured and tamed. To do so, once you have located one, is to slowly approach it. Do not move towards it too fast or your subject may run and hide further underneath its hiding spot. Should it do so, under no circumstances should you use an object, such as a broom, to retrieve your potential pet as Dust Bunnies are easily harmed. Simply move around slowly to the other side of its hiding place and, working with a partner, gently blow into its hiding spot to coax the timid Dust Bunny out the other side and hopefully into the hands of your partner. You should have instructed your partner to be very gentle when scooping up your new pet.

Care of your new Pet Dust Bunny

Housing

Now that you've captured your new pet, the best place to keep it in is an old laundry basket turned upside down. This way, your pet has a good view of the outside world as well as good lighting, although this is not necessary for your pet's happiness as it can exist in dark places and be perfectly content.

Food and Water

Dust Bunnies are very easy to feed. They exist on a variety of soft, light materials. Your pet Dust Bunny will eat only if taken out of its cage and let loose to roam over a smooth floor in a good draft. Just sprinkle laundry lint, human hair, fur from other pets, small feathers and dust onto the floor, and watch your pet roll around hungrily consuming your offerings.

A delicacy to offer your pet Dust Bunny, but only sparingly as it is very rich, is the lint taken from a navel also known as "belly button lint".

Feed your pet only once a week. If you find your pet is getting too large, it will become lethargic and may stop playing. Its size may also present a danger to your household and guests in that it will shock guests and family members who may leave and never return. (See Killer Dust Bunny, monstera dusticus (L.))

Under no circumstances should you give your pet Dust Bunny liquids of any kind. Doing so is very dangerous; it may cause your pet to become waterlogged and it may either drown or will become so heavy that it will never recuperate even after drying out.

Exercise and Playtime

Your weekly feeding should give your pet Dust Bunny enough playtime and exercise as it runs around in the draft you provide it. Never let your pet outside to play; it is guaranteed that it will escape and you will never see it again. Never put a leash on your pet; doing so may cause bodily harm to your Dust Bunny and it will deteriorate at an alarming rate.

Even if your pet is large enough and needs no further feedings, let it out of its cage once a week to play in the breeze, as always keeping a watchful eye for potential dangers such as vacuum cleaners, brooms, mops, other pets and people walking within the room.

Companionship and Reproduction

Pet Dust Bunnies do not really require a companion however, if they are allowed to roam in the vicinity of other dust bunnies instinct may take over and they might mate with another of their kind. Doing so will not cause reproduction but will simply create a larger dust bunny (See Killer Dust Bunny, monstera dusticus (L.))

The following items are highly dangerous to your pet:

- human feet, especially those clad in heavy boots and shoes
- vacuum cleaners
- mops
- dust mops
- other pets
- water and other liquids
- fire

How to avoid creating the Killer Dust Bunny, monstera dusticus (L.)

A dust bunny that reaches 3" or more is a potential threat, especially to those who visit. Your guests and family members may not return once they have met your overly large Dust Bunny. Therefore, refrain from feeding the bunny that has reached maximum size. This will not harm it as it will exist on molecules in the air and will no longer require any additional food to survive.

Following these simple steps will keep your Pet Dust Bunny content and healthy, and will assure you of a lovable pet that you can enjoy for life!
