It’s that time of year again to make my reminder post. Rabbits are not Easter gifts. They are living creatures that require daily care. They need a proper diet, housing, exercise and attention. Children often lose interest in them and they end up neglected and most times dumped. If your child wants a cute bunny and you aren’t ready to devote your time to caring for it then get a stuffed toy.

The great hay debate! I keep seeing this be a hot topic lately. Although it’s always been an argument as long as I’ve been into rabbits (a long time!). Here at the Rabbitry we are pro hay. The rabbits love it. They nibble it, dig in it and have fun with it. It gives them something to do besides sit in a cage when they aren’t in the exercise pens, being groomed or handled. It’s not a main diet here though. I feed high quality pelleted feed and they get a little hay daily. If they choose to eat it that’s fine, if they want to play in it that’s fine to! I also don’t care what another Rabbitry chooses to do. Don’t want to feed hay, then don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️. Don’t think rabbits need hay, that’s fine, again don’t give it. Want to feed a pellet only diet, do you. Bottom line do what works best for YOUR rabbits and stop worrying about what others are doing! If you get a rabbit from someone and it didn’t have hay in its diet and you feed hay then just introduce it properly and go on with your life. Ok everyone, be nice to each other and much bunny love 💕 🐇

Used the new blue magpie English lop buck, 🤞🏻. He’s young but got the job done if the does took!

Did a full bunny barn clean out today, rearranged cages and switched some cages around. I’m loving this spring like weather!

After a short break to deal with a health issue I will be breeding this week and weekend. Hopefully the rabbits cooperate and my does all take 🤞🏻 I hope everyone is having an absolutely wonderful day!
