I’ve lived with rabbits for so long that it’s so normal to me that rabbit’s eat their poop. I’m not above picking up cecotrophs (called Stinky Poos in our house) and putting them in my rabbit’s food bowl. But, I imagine that if you’re new to rabbits it can be a bit unnerving to see … Read more
What I found so incredible when researching this article was how the numbers have changed in the past, say, 20 years. Five used to be considered a great age for rabbits, and now it’s extremely common to see healthy ten-year-old rabbits on Reddit and Facebook groups. We love to see it. Do house rabbits live … Read more
No, but it’s a great, cost effective addition to their diet. They’ll still need hay though. When I was a kid, our rabbits used to eat a lot of grass. We’d pick swathes of it for them every morning. But it was more of a cost thing – why pay for veggies when the grass … Read more
In short, no. Your rabbit can live a long, perfectly healthy life without eating pellet food. I mean, it makes sense. Wild rabbits don’t eat pellets. Sure, they also only live for a couple of years, but that generally isn’t to do with dietary constraints, just like early man’s lack of sugar in their diet … Read more
In short, it depends on your rabbit. Some are completely unfazed by them and will continue chewing regardless, others are horrified by the foul new smell/taste and will henceforth leave your baseboards alone.

In reality, a rabbit’s temperament is just part of who they are, and you can’t really change that. However, much like dogs, you can modify your behaviour to be a better caregiver to your bunny If your bunny … Read more
Yes, lilies are poisonous to rabbits BUT not to the extent that they are to cats. It’s not actually clear what it is in lilies that caused such severe (like, fatal) kidney failure in cats, but it seems pretty feline-specific. BUT Do NOT encourage your rabbit to eat lilies. Keep bunnies and lilies (and pretty … Read more
Let me just explain that this article will detail how to keep PET rabbits IN the garden, it’s not about keeping WILD rabbits OUT of the garden. Although one of the major points is building a rabbit proof fence, and I’m pretty sure they’re two way fences, so I guess it doesn’t matter which side … Read more
I have never gotten a new sofa. We’ve always got hand me downs. Why? Er, because there are few things rabbits prefer to chew on than the corners of couches. You know, the same places that cats love to scratch. If you’re wondering if your rabbit will destroy an item of furniture, always start off … Read more
If you’re looking for an answer to the question ‘why the hell does my rabbit insist on going under my bed every chance they get’ I’m afraid I can’t help you. I don’t know what switch flips in their brain to make under the bed the ultimate destination, I just know that it exists. We’ve … Read more
