Feeding rabbits fresh produce can be expensive! We know, because our bunnies go through a bag of herbs in a couple of days and a zucchini in less than 3. One way to save money involves choosing vegetables (and fruit as a treat) based on the current season. In-season produce tends to be cheaper, fresher, more…
Our bunnies love to eat flowers! They are a great treat and can be sprinkled over hay to make it a bit more interesting and tasty. Here’s a list of flowers you can offer your rabbits in addition to their regular diet. Please keep in mind that potted or cut plants bought in most stores (including…
Sometimes produce can only be bought in large quantities and it may be difficult for our bunnies to eat each thing before it goes bad. That’s where our Eat Like a Rabbit Series comes in: Share produce with your bunnies and save money while eating healthy! One of the things our bunnies eat regularly is celery….
Some bunnies are trusting, confident, and immediately enjoy the attention of their new families (like Bunny), others are shy and skittish and require more time to feel secure (like Bailey).

Every new family member, be it furry or not, will increase the monthly expenses of the household. Before getting any pet it is a good idea to do the math and figure out if you can afford to support it. Here’s what our 2 bunnies cost, so you get an idea what to expect if…
Update: Donations have been collected and sent to Alfred. Thank you to everyone who helped! Yesterday we noticed a post in our facebook feed that made us stop in our tracks and see what we could do to help. Clover Patch Sanctuary, a non profit charity devoted to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of domestic rabbits…
Zucchini has become a new favorite in our family, so I thought it would be a great idea to write about it for the Eat Like A Rabbit series. The goal is to offer rabbits a large variety of fresh food without letting any excess go to waste. Plus, if it’s good for the rabbits,…
