Traditionally rabbits drink from those bottles that have a little ball in them and make an annoying noise. For the longest time I thought I was a bad rabbit parent because our rabbits were totally free roam (or would have been if they weren’t terrified of stairs) and there was nowhere to put a bottle. … Read more
Ok, this is going to be a short post, because it turns out that no, some rabbits don’t need to be vaccinated. Here in the UK it’s recommended that you vaccinate your rabbits, whether they’re house rabbits or not, but in the US, you don’t. I assume the diseases we vaccinate against here aren’t over … Read more
This is quite a hard question to answer – all pets are high maintenance to some degree. Personally, I find house rabbits low maintenance because they fit in really well with my lifestyle and I love spending time with them. I don’t intend this article to make you think rabbits are low maintenance – I … Read more

Teaching your rabbit to eat hay can seem like a fruitless task (there’s a joke in there somewhere because fruit can help), but it’s really worth it. Kinda like teaching your kids to eat vegetables. Ok, exactly like teaching your kids to eat vegetables. Here are the main points covered in getting bunnies to eat … Read more
This article doesn’t intend to shame anyone for only keeping one bunny. Some rabbits genuinely prefer to be on their own. I’ve had single buns before – once because her mate died a couple of years before she did, and another that was too aggressive for a mate. Eventually, we were hoping to bond her … Read more
I’ve kept house rabbits for over a decade. When I first got a rabbit, I had no choice. There was no outside space whatsoever. The house only had one door to the outside and that opened right onto the street. No one, (read: my mother) really questioned it*. I mean, what other option did I … Read more
