Rabbits are often underestimated. They are placed in the same category as a rat or a hamster and called “rodents”, even though they are not rodents at all and their behavior, personality, and intelligence more closely resemble those of a cat or dog. Many people believe that a rabbit requires very little work and that…
Eat Like A Rabbit Series: Rutabaga
This is the very first post in a new series that we want to add to regularly! The question has come up how to avoid wasting fresh produce while still offering 6-8 different vegetables to our bunnies at a time. Why not share it and eat like a rabbit? I don’t know about you, but…
Bunny’s Pellet-Free Diet
We keep mentioning that Bunny doesn’t eat any pellets and we keep getting questions about his diet, so here is a more detailed explanation of what we give him. We choose Bunny’s food based on three equally important aspects: – It has to be fresh and healthy for rabbits. – It has to be a…

The holiday season is about to start and many of us will want to put up a Christmas tree and other decorations. When a curious little bunny hops around and feels like everything was put up as a giant snack, there are a few things to consider. First of all, rabbits can eat from all…
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…
Indoor Rabbit Housing
If you have ever set foot in a local pet store, you may have noticed that for every 30 shelves with items for dogs and cats there may be one for rabbits (if you are really lucky). Most of the time, that one shelf isn’t even just for rabbits, it’s for small animals in general,…
Bonding Bunnies
Rabbits are very social creatures that don’t like to be alone. Yet it can be quite challenging to get two (or more) rabbits to bond and live together peacefully, because they are also quite territorial. We collected actual bonding stories for this article. Vicky S: It took about 3 weeks for Big’s and Tux to “love”…
Cutting Your Rabbit’s Nails

If you notice that the nails extend way beyond the fur or start curling, then…
