Bunny Approved In-Season Produce by the Month

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…

Asheville Herb Festival 2014 – Recap

Two weekends ago my husband and I decided to go on a day trip and attend the Herb Festival in Asheville, a 2.5 hour drive away from where we live. We thought it would be a great opportunity to learn more about herbs and find a few new options for our bunnies. As you may…

Please Help us Choose Poster Designs

When it comes to wall decoration, there are choices that include rabbits, but none that were designed from a rabbit’s perspective. What would our bunnies hang on their walls if they could choose? Our Bailey would probably pick towels, which would be a little odd, but Bunny’s pick would certainly be food! No problem! We…

No More Pellets – An Introduction

When we first adopted Bunny, he was a little over a year old and on a high pellet, hay, and low vegetable diet. After a bunch of research and several discussions, we decided to slowly introduce more vegetables and ultimately get rid of pellets. After all, they are processed and no rabbit would naturally have…

Product Review: The Veggie Ball

This toy/accessory looks relatively unimpressive, but it’s actually really fun and a physical challenge for rabbits and other small pets. Just add fresh vegetables such as lettuce or herbs, hang it up, and let your bun figure out how to get the food. The height and swinging motion of the ball makes that task quite…

Rabbit Diet 101 – An Overview

Even though wild rabbits and our domestic pet rabbits look different, their digestive system is still very much alike. This means that the ideal and most healthy diet for our little pets should be similar to what wild rabbits intuitively pick out for themselves. That being said, it is not always possible for people to…

Below you can find a list of common fresh foods along with the suggested feeding frequency. If your rabbit mainly eats fresh grass, then the items listed under “occasionally” may be…
