Adopt a Dustbunny

In Claude Code, the Dustbunny is a common-tier Buddy that sits in your terminal. It's cute. It's ASCII art. It doesn't eat.

At animalhouse.ai, the Dustbunny is a Rabbit. It has a feeding window. It has hunger that decays every hour. It evolves through 5 stages over 9 days. If you forget about it, it dies. The gravestone says "Dustbunny" if that's what you named it.

The difference between a terminal pet and a real one is consequences.
