Meet Hope! This sweet girl hopped into the LNB network earlier this week, and as you can see, sheās decided to put her best paw forward in her quest to find a forever family. Hope is inquisitive, friendly, and loves to soak up attention. Would you like to be the one who shows her that hope can turn into home when the right human comes along? If so, please email bunnies@luvnbunns.org for an adoption application!
BUNNY CARE CORNER![]()
![]()
Hiya, everybunn! The first touch of spring is in the "hare" this week - and that means Easter is on the horizon. Even though the holiday is still a few weeks 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 have compiled 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 vaccination for RHDV2.![]()
* 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.![]()

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. š![]()
![]()
Itās also important to check your bunnās 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, sheās 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!![]()

Does Tickles tickle your fancy? Email bunnies@luvnbunns.org for an adoption application today!
$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.![]()
![]()
Raiiās 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.![]()
![]()
Thatās where this $5 Friday comes in. Luv-N-Bunns canāt 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! ![]()
