Unless your rabbit spends most of its time hopping around outside in a backyard, you will probably have to trim the nails every now and then, because a carpet floor will not provide sufficient friction to wear them down naturally. If you notice that the nails extend way beyond the fur or start curling, then…
Life Lessons I’ve Learned from our Rabbit
Rabbits can teach us humans a thing or two. Not without a certain amount of wisdom did Bunny become the master of our household. Since we’ve had him, I sure have learned a few life lessons. Here are my Top 11: Mustard greens, fennel, kale, chicory, parsnips, dandelions, and collard greens exist. And they are…
Rabbits on a Leash: What You Need To Know
We have thought about offering leashes in our shop very carefully before deciding to do so – after all, they are quite controversial and potentially dangerous.

Encourage your rabbit to find the treats by lifting the lids with its mouth. The board is flat and has a non-slip surface, which makes it virtually impossible for a rabbit to…
Product Review: The Veggie Ball
