Like many of you, we were saddened by the recent loss of three cherished bunny friends: Lennon the Bunny and Miffy & Mikka. Each of them brought a special kind of joy, comfort, and gentle magic into the world — the kind that lingers long after they've gone. In moments like these, we’re reminded how important it is to allow space for grief — to name it, sit with it, and be supported through it. If you’re navigating a similar journey, we invite you to read our recent blog post: The Full Circle...

Summer weather is almost here and while we may enjoy more sunshine, our small pets feel differently. Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small pets can easily overheat, so it’s important to help them stay cool, hydrated, and comfy when temperatures rise. 🏡 Keep them in well-ventilated, air-conditioned spaces, especially chinchillas, who are extra sensitive to hot weather 🧊 Cool down warmer environments with moist cloth pads or mats, chilled tiles, or frozen water bottles wrapped in...

Last week I visited an awesome woman who recently rescued two domesticated bunnies she spotted hopping around an orchard. She brought them home and split them up to try to avoid a litter but four days later one of them started to build a nest and it was clear that she was already pregnant. Mom and dad and the five babies are doing really well and will be adopted out when they are ready. Follow Rabbit Advocates on Instagram for stories updates 🐇 I got to meet the whole fluffle and treat the...

If you aren't sure if your rabbit is due for a nail trim, one trick that usually works is to see if their nails are sticking out past the fur. But what if you have a rex rabbit, with nails that always stick out past their short - and incredibly plush - fur? Most rabbits benefit from a nail trim every 8 weeks, which is how often our adorable furry friend Rupert hops by for a trim at our shop. If they have light nails, you can usually easily find a pink area inside the nail - otherwise known as...
