BUNNY CARE CORNER![]()

Hiya, friends! Happy Wednesday to bunn and all, and a big thank you to everyone who participated in last week's trivia Q&A. You are very smart, did you know that? You get an A+ in bunny knowledge! 😃![]()
![]()
Here are the answers to the questions:![]()
![]()
1. What is the largest and most important part of a rabbit's diet?![]()
Hay! 75-80% of your rabbit’s diet should be hay, along with lots of leafy greens, a very limited amount of pellets (1/4 cup per day), and plenty of fresh water. ![]()
![]()
2. Do bunnies need vaccinations?![]()
Yes. Here in the US, it is vital that your rabbit be vaccinated for RHDV2. The initial vaccine is a two dose series (given three weeks apart), and then a yearly booster is required. If you have adopted from LNB anytime since December 2021, your bunn got his or her initial vaccine series while at the rescue. The vaccination dates are in your contract. PLEASE be certain to check those dates and make sure that your rabbit gets a booster when it's needed. It is crucial to keep everybunn safe!![]()

3. How often should a bunn see a rabbit-savvy vet?![]()
A healthy bunny should see a rabbit-savvy veterinarian at least once a year for a well-check. Some people opt to take their rabbits twice each year instead. And then there are also bunnies, such as those with dental issues, that will need to be seen more frequently. The same is true for older rabbits.![]()
![]()
4. Why should you never bathe a bunny?![]()
Not only is this an extremely stressful experience for a bunny – one that could lead it to injure itself – but a wet rabbit can easily go into shock. Please never, ever submerge your bunn in water.![]()
![]()
5. What are the smallest and largest rabbit breeds?![]()
The Nertherland Dwarf is the smallest, and a Flemish Giant is the largest!![]()

Thanks for playing along, friends!![]()

This cutie is Beezy! He was born into the LNB network last April, after his mama came to us from animal control in New York. Like his sister Stanzy (last week's TMHT feature!), Beezy is a bit on the shy side. He loves pets, though, and he is also quite a fan of doing zoomies as fast as possible!![]()
![]()
If he has managed to to direct those zoomies straight into your heart, email bunnies@luvnbunns.org for an adoption application. Beezy would love to meet you!
Another Sunday Bunnday has hopped around! These are some of the bunns who went to their forever homes today. Our hearts are binkying in joy for them! Watching the rabbits find their people is nothing short of spectacularly special, and so there were lots of smiles - and happy tears - today. We wish you the hoppiest and floppiest of beautiful lives, honey bunnies!
LNB alumni Versace and Persephone wanted to hop by and wish everyone a happy Thursday. Versace in particular hopes you’re all having a ball ... and also wants to know if someone can sign him up for the Bunlympics, please? ⚽️

Good morning, bunn and all, and a very hoppy Wednesday to you! It has been a long time since we last did a trivia version of BCC, so I thought today would be a great day for you all to show off your smarts. Post your answers to these questions in the comments section, and then we will meet back here next week to chat about them!![]()

This sweet gal is Stanzy. She was born into the LNB network last April, and what a delight it has been to watch her grow! She is a quiet bunn, but we think she will blossom once she finds a family of her very own and a gentle person to help her come out of her shell. Maybe that could be you? If so, email bunnies@luvnbunns.org for an adoption application!
One of our adopters is compiling a book of bunny stories and kindly donating the proceeds to local rabbit rescues. If you’d like to participate, please email her at thebigbookofbunnies@gmail.com for all the submission details!

Good morning, everybunn, and Hoppy March! With the flip of the calendar page, the first touch of spring is in the "hare" - and that means Easter is on the horizon. Even though the holiday is still over a month away, I think it's super important to get a jump start on reminding people that rabbits should never be given as Easter gifts. NEVER, EVER, EVER.![]()
![]()
And so today I am sharing a fact sheet of the reasons why everyone should #makeminechocolate instead. Please share this post to help me spread the word - this Easter, choose a chocolate or stuffed bunny instead. Us real bunns are living, breathing beings that require a great deal of care and a 10+ year commitment. We are a gift to many people's lives, but that does not mean we should be selected as an actual gift.![]()
![]()
Why?![]()
![]()
* Bunnies are high maintenance.![]()
* Bunnies require a specific diet that's made up primarily of hay, along with fresh greens and high quality pellets.![]()
* Bunnies are prey animals and most do not like being picked up or held. Four paws on the ground is the way to go!![]()
* Bunnies are fragile and must be handled properly.![]()
* Bunnies require specialized (and often expensive) vet care from a trusted rabbit-savvy vet, including an annual booster for the RHDV2 vaccine.![]()
* Bunnies are mischievous and can get into everything - so your home must be bunny-proofed in order to keep it safe for your furry family member.![]()
* Bunnies need a responsible adult to be their primary caregiver. They are not a "starter" pet and cannot be taken care of only by a child.![]()
* Bunnies take their time when it comes to learning to trust you, and it's important to follow their lead. Give rabbits the space and security (and love!) to know they are safe, and most will warm up to loving you and letting you love them - in their own time.![]()
* Bunnies require space to run, stretch, hop, and play. A hutch or cage is NOT enough room. Even when their home base is an x-pen, bunnies need exercise time each day.![]()
* Bunnies can live 10-14+ years with the proper care.![]()
* Bunnies are experts at hiding sickness, which means it's up to the humans to keep a careful eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels - and to get the necessary vet care quickly. Time is often of the essence.![]()
* Bunnies need an indoor home and to be part of your family.![]()
* Bunnies are the third most popular pet in the US - and also the third most abandoned. It is SO important to do lots of research before bringing a rabbit into your home so that you know what you're getting into. And if you do need to rehome your bunny, PLEASE contact a rescue or shelter instead of releasing the rabbit outside. Between predators, extreme temperatures, and RHDV2, there are far too many threats. Domestic rabbits do not have the survival skills to make it outdoors on their own.![]()
* Bunnies are a whole lot of work, but also a whole lot of love and joy. So if you HAVE done your research and think a bunn is the right addition to your family, please, please, please - adopt, don't shop! There are so many rabbits waiting for a warm and loving place to rest their paws and for a family to call their own.![]()

Meet Lucien!![]()
![]()
He hopped back into LNB at the end of last year, and is crossing his paws that 2023 will be the start of his new “furever.” This sweetie loves head rubs, exploring, and lounging. And his claim to fame? He might look like a bunny, but in actuality he is a very furry pogo stick! 😉 Seriously, trust us ... we have a video as proof. This goof jumps straight up into the air both when he is very nervous and over-the-top happy.![]()
![]()
He loves his hay and greens, and is great with his litter box. And as you can see, he is also quite talented at being exceptionally cute. We think he would do best in a quiet home - if yours can fit the bill, Lucien would really love to meet you! Email bunnies@luvnbunns.org if you’d like to meet him, too!
Today is the last day to send in your submission for our annual fundraiser with Lux Summit Studio, so hop to it! You'll receive the most beautiful pictures to treasure, and thanks to the kindness of photographer extraordinaire Kristen, LNB will get $200 from each session. We are so appreciative - and so excited to see all your photos!![]()
