It’s everyone’s dream to have a rabbit that bounces over to sit beside you on the sofa and snuggle up to you. Unfortunately, that’s only the reality for some lucky rabbit parents. I believe that whilst you gain your bunny’s trust, and encourage them to accept pets, it’s almost impossible to change your rabbit’s attitude … Read more
Er, of course they do. House rabbits make awesome pets. Seriously though, rabbits are just as good a pet as a cat or dog. Better, actually. Why house rabbits are my favourite pets House rabbits really suit my lifestyle. I really love animals but I like weather, so having a rabbit that I can exercise … Read more
It’s very normal for rabbits to fight. Even a bonded pair may have the odd little scuffle, and two rabbits meeting for the first time will probably have a fight (big or small) to sort out who’s dominant. Do rabbits fight in the wild? Rabbit fights look (and can be) brutal – think fur flying … Read more
Right, I’m starting off this post on a slightly scary note, so I want to assure you before you run screaming to the vet, that my rabbit is a head shaker. She does it to tell everyone that zoomies are soon to be on the agenda, but she likes to leave a 30 second gap … Read more

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
Haha, I bet non-rabbit people think we’re WEIRD. I think rabbits do understand kisses, but not all rabbits like them. I’ve not had my current bunnies for long enough to kiss them. They were surrendered to a rescue, and they’re pretty terrified of humans, and I’m sure my big head coming right at them won’t … 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
