Bunnies are not easy pets

Some people put bunnies in the same category as hamsters, mice & gerbils. But having a pet rabbit is far more time consuming and expensive.

Bunnies make a great pet but require a great deal of attention and care.

 If you want a pet that can be kept in a cage or outside in a hutch [don't buy a bunny]
 Pet rabbits belong in the home. They need plenty of exercise and a comfortable temperature.

Don't buy a rabbit from a pet store, ADOPT one from a shelter. (despite the stigma attached to rescue pets, my bunny was adopted and is very loving (I've had him for years and he has NEVER not once bitten anyone) he is very sweet.

Bunnies love to chew and will chew anything and everything. so make sure all wires are out of reach. Ive lost cell phone chargers, laptop chargers and printer wires thanks to bunz. :)


Bunnies are expensive! between expanding cages, food, vets, toys, treats etc pet rabbits are not cheap.

Shedding

Rabbits shed every 3 months. Every alternate time they'll have a light shedding that may not be very noticeable. Next they'll have a heavy shedding.

When my rabbit sheds there will be a blanket of white fur covering the floor of his cage every morning. no matter how much i brush him, but he only sheds heavily every 6 months.

Rabbits should be brush at least weekly with a rabbit brush or baby brush.

Never bath or use a non vet approved flea treatment on your bunny!

look how big i got

New treats


playing on pillows

Bunz favorite thing to do is play with fuzzy pillows, he loves to jump, chew, groom, and bounce on them. So i bought him a few, just for him to play with. He will spend ages playing on them, then just fall asleep laying on them...soo cute!









Well bunz needed a bigger cage, so now he has an open cage about 4-5 feet in length. he stays in his cage during the day to sleep and has an open cage for about 6 hours each evening, to run around the house and play.
