BUNNY CARE CORNER![]()

Hi, friends! Jasper Jellybean here, interrupting your regularly scheduled scrolling for a #BSA (Bunny Service Announcement). If your rabbit is anything like me, the fur is flying in your house right now. I mean FLYING. Perhaps you've found it skittering across the floor like tumbleweeds. Or attaching itself to your clothes. Or even floating into your mouth, nose, and/or eyelashes. Ma has much personal experience with that, and right now is no exception.![]()

From what I'm seeing, I'm not the only one currently spreading fluff everywhere. So I am here to remind you : please, please, PLEASE be proactive in grooming your rabbits. This is super important always, but especially at the times when us bunns are shedding even more than usual. If rabbits ingest too much fur when we're grooming ourselves, it can cause us to go into stasis. As any bunn and bunn parent will tell you, you do NOT want that to happen, because it can make rabbits very sick. Frequent grooming will help prevent this, because if you're removing the stray fur for us, there won't be as much left for us to swallow.![]()

We are once again at the point that Ma is pretty much doing this all the time not only with me, but also my little bro and sis. One great option for this is the small animal Furminator brush, which does an awesome job. Another method is to gently pluck off the fur and/or wet your hands slightly and run them over your bunn - the dampness will make the loose fur attach to you, and it'll come right off. Fair warning, though : you just might look like a rabbit yourself if you choose this route. 😆![]()

It’s also important to check your bunn’s water bowl for loose fur. It is SO easy for it to drift off and float in the water, so you may need to replace that water an extra time or two each day.![]()

Tell me : what's your preferred method for grooming your bunny? Does he or she enjoy it, or do you get guilt tripped into giving a treat afterwards? I am really, really cooperative with it, but I mean, I wouldn't turn down a reward...![]()

Until next time ...![]()

Tickles is a sweet and spirited little lady who is ready to hop into your heart and home. Tickles was found as a stray alongside a group of other bunnies, but despite her rough start, she’s blossomed into a loving and curious companion. She loves exploring her surroundings and dashing through tunnels. Tickles would thrive in a calm home where she can stretch her legs, feel safe, and be treated like the special bunn she is. A note that she does have a bit of a chronic wet nose, but she has been treated by the vet and is otherwise a happy and healthy little bunn!![]()

$5 FRIDAY - RAII![]()
![]()
When Raii arrived in our care, she was heartbreakingly ematicated and in very poor condition. With careful refeeding, close monitoring, and lots of gentle love, she is steadily gaining weight and getting stronger each day.![]()
![]()
Raii’s eyes are brighter. Her coat is fuller. And her little personality is beginning to shine through. Thanks to the incredible TLC of one of our dedicated fosters (who also serves on our board), Raii is now on the road to recovery. But recovery takes time - and resources.![]()
![]()
That’s where this $5 Friday comes in. Luv-N-Bunns can’t help medically needy bunnies like Raii without your support. Every single donation makes a difference. And every ounce she gains is proof that love - and this wonderful bunny community - works. Thank you for your support! ![]()

Happy #NationalLoveYourPetDay! Anyone with a fur baby knows that’s actually every day, but we thought we’d take this opportunity to celebrate all the same. We’d love to know - what do you love most about your honey bunnies?
HOPPY VALENTINE’S DAY![]()

Our adoption center bunns got to celebrate in style today, thanks to one of our superstar volunteers! We hope you have as wonderful a day as they are and that your hearts binky with love and happiness today and always ❤️
It’s been a while since we made a “Thank you for sending us items from our wish list” post so this is overdue. But THANK YOU so much! We don’t always get gift receipts so for items that don’t have them, thank you to whoever sent them!

Hello, friends! Jasper Jellybean here. I know it’s not a Wednesday, but I’m thinking we can try something a little different this year and have BCC on any day of the week.![]()
![]()
Today I’d like to chat about something us bunns are experts at: chillaxing and resting. As crepuscular animals, us bunns are often the most active around dawn and dusk, and we tend to get in our sleeping time overnight and during other parts of the day. Now, that said, because bunnies are such smart animals, sometimes we will also match our schedules to yours - and other times, we just like to be our unique selves and make up our own rules! For example, I used to have my hoppy hour binky parties late at night when Ma's eyelids were ready to close for the day. Trust me - I woke her up really quickly! 😁![]()
![]()
But on a whole, it is typical for rabbits to head off to dreamland during the daytime hours. This makes it pretty helpful for you humans, because often times a lot of bunns will snooze the day away while you're working. Then it's playtime when you're finished!![]()
![]()
Here are some fun facts about bunnies' sleeping habits:![]()
![]()
- Because we are prey animals, we often sleep with our eyes open. The more comfortable your bunn becomes in your home, the more often you may start to notice his or her eyes starting to close a bit. If you have a rabbit who sleeps with closed eyes, take it as a compliment, knowing that your bunny feels completely safe and secure with you. Here I am, napping just a little while ago!![]()
![]()
- A rabbit who is snoozing will often have ears that are relaxed and not standing at attention. Its nose will slow down - and sometimes even stop - its twitching.![]()
![]()
- Bunnies can dream! If you've ever seen this, you know how adorable it is. We get kind of twitchy - our nose, our head, sometimes even our feet. For me personally, sometimes I get so relaxed and in such a deep dreamland that I nearly topple over. What can I say? With visions of treats dancing through my mind, how can I NOT be relaxed? You would not even believe how many videos Ma has of me dreaming. There’s a reason I call her the mamarazzi! ![]()
![]()
- Rabbits have some typical sleeping positions, either all stretched out, flopped over, or tucked into ourselves, kind of like an oversized Easter egg. My personal favorite is laying on Ma's feet. She says that's her favorite, too!![]()

Tell me, friends, what your bunn's favorite way to snooze? And what do you think he or she likes to dream about?![]()

Until next time ...![]()

Meet Whimsy! He is a playful, curious boy who loves to explore, toss toys, and zoom around the room. He is a sweet and affectionate bunny who enjoys attention and gives it right back. Whimsy has a lot of love to give, and would do best in a home with a bonded companion.![]()

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, some of our bunns got a jump start on finding their hoppily-ever-after this weekend! Our hearts are so happy for these honey bunnies as they binky off to forever ❤️
Hello dear friends,![]()

Liz here. After nearly 2 decades with Luv-N-Bunns, the time has come for me to hop along to other things. It’s been a journey, to say the least! I’ve had the honor of meeting and interacting with so many of you, helping you with adoptions, laughing and crying with you, putting some blood, sweat, and tears into our mission together and sharing “all things bunny” along the way. With nearly 3,000 rabbits saved, this little grass-roots rescue has made quite an impact, and it’s all because of you. Your generosity, your help and time given, all the concern and all the effort you’ve put into supporting us on this journey has turned an ordinary vision into something extraordinary, something beyond our wildest dreams.![]()
![]()
Thank you to every one of you for all you’ve done to support the rescue, and for the love and support you’ve shown me over the years. It’s truly been an honor to share this journey with you. I’ll always be around to help you with bunny questions, grooming needs, to bunny-sit for you when you’re on vacation, and to participate in general bunny nonsense and fun. Meanwhile, you’ll be seeing some new names and faces when you reach out to the rescue, ready to hop on it and help you with everything you need.![]()
![]()
Sometimes I feel tears well up, thinking of stepping back from something that has been such a driving force and my life’s purpose for nearly half of my life. But it’s time to move on, time for some new adventures. May the generosity and tenderness you’ve given to this rescue be given back to you, multiplied 10-fold and dumped back in your lap in the form of a gentle, loving bunny. Thank you for everything, my friends.![]()

On to our next adventure!![]()
