Isn’t it strange how some things are so accepted and normal that it’s a bit weird when you find out that not is not advised, but it’s pretty dangerous. When I was a kid, having a rabbit and a guinea pig in a hutch together was totally normal. Personally I never did – we had … Read more
I know, I know, I’ve said it a million times, but here we go again: rabbits are prey animals. They’re naturally weary, skittish, and scared of animals a good ten times their size. But it can be a bit annoying when you’ve done nothing but love your bunny and they still act like you’re about … Read more
I don’t think rabbits should be left unsupervised outside, but as long as you properly bunny proof the garden, there’s no reason why they can’t run around outside. It’s not necessary though. Your rabbit isn’t sat inside thinking ‘man, I wish I wish I could go outside’. As long as they have enough room inside, … Read more
Rabbits can definitely miss you. Like you as a person, not just the Bringer of Food. It’s just that mine don’t. They literally dgaf. In fact, we got them during lockdown – March 2021 – and i think they were relieved when we returned to work three months later. Do rabbits recognise their owners? Yes, … Read more

So, I used to work with a girl that went to medical school. When she came back to work the following summer, I asked her to tell me a cool fact that I might not know. She did NOT disappoint. DID YOU KNOW that humans are ALWAYS holding back the desire to throw up. When … Read more
Dewlaps are one of those things that mny rabbits have but that you don’t always notice until one day they’d laid down, loafing and you see it and think ‘huh?’. Kind of like a butt skirt, which is when a semicircle of fur flicks out above a bunny’s butt. You always wonder if you’ve groomed … Read more
If you’ve never had rabbits before, you would be SHOCKED by how loud their little bellies can be. Like, it is STAGGERING. And can also be worrisome, because of how delicate little bunny bellies can be. A rabbit’s stomach gurgle isn’t always a cause for concern, but it can be, so it’s worth familarising yourself … Read more
Some rabbits are more prone to gas than others, and if yours is, you need to keep a close eye on what they eat.
