Caring For Rabbits

Bunnies like their living quarters cleaned spit-spot,
yet, ironically,
they are the messiest little creatures!

Every night, we lure BB, Zoe, and Charlie into their house,

 so we Chris can clean out their hutch.

Dozens of tiny piles of pee-soaked bedding are removed and

fresh layers of Aspen bedding are added

(not cedar chips because its pungent odor
is too strong for the bunnies sensitive respiratory systems).

Despite our efforts to litter train our bunnies,

 they each go in whatever corner of the hutch they've claimed.

And with 3 rabbits and 4 corners...well, you get the picture.

Thankfully, they go pee in the giant digging box
in their play area when they are out of their house.

We take great care to make sure our bunnies have: 

plenty of exercise, 

human contact,

 fresh water, 

the best food pellets (no junk added),

 endless amounts of Timothy Spring Grass,

 and two fresh and crunchy salads a day.

They nibble and munch on any combination of organic produce like:

kale,

collard greens,

parsley,

carrots,

broccoli,

spinach,

celery,

lettuce,

dandelion greens,

cabbage,

and swiss chard.

The average domesticated rabbit can live up to 15+ years

and the dwarf rabbit can live up to 12 years.

With excellent diet and lots of creative stimulation and exercise, they can live their lives to the fullest.

We do all we can to ensure the longest, healthiest, happiest life for our bunnies.

Owning any number of rabbits takes a lot of dedication, time, money, and effort.

Some of you have asked to estimate what the financial responsibility of taking care of three rabbits is.

Hay/Grasses, quality food pellets, and bedding cost about $45 a month

and fresh produce at about $30 a month.

Plus chopping 2 meals worth of veggies, washing and filling the water bottle, cleaning the hutch and play area, and giving lots and lots of petting, 

the absolute minimal time commitment is around one hour a day.

But of course anyone who has a pet would spend more time together than that. 

Do you have any questions about rabbits or would you like to come over and pay our bunnies a visit?
