Bunny Tip
Consider it an EMERGENCY if your rabbit can’t:
- Eat
- Poop
- Urinate
- Breathe
- Walk
OR if your rabbit is in pain for any reason!! If your rabbit has not eaten or output in 8-12 hours, your rabbit is in crisis and needs to see the vet ASAP.
For more information, read Rabbit Emergencies in our Health section

Breeding
We do not support any breeding of bunnies by agricultural breeders, commercial breeders, occasional breeders, or even one-time home breeders. Babies are cute, but are not a valid reason to breed an animal. By purposely breeding even once, you are adding to overpopulation and taking a home away from a rabbit that is already in foster care or in a shelter. Please help to stop the rabbit overpopulation - adopt a bun!
Alert! Foxes (and raccoons) can easily break in to outdoor hutches. Bunnies can also chew through screen enclosures. Please don’t resign your rabbit to an outdoor home, especially where he can’t escape from attack. Even if your hutch is secure, bunnies can die from fear so barking dogs, snakes and other outdoor fears can cause an unexpected death. Make yours a housebun instead! It’s easy and your bun will be safer.

Make Yours a House Bun
We do not support housing a bunny outdoors, even in a hutch, run or a screened-in back porch. Read Hazards to Outdoor Buns. Want to bring your bun indoors? Write to us and we’ll provide you with information on how to easily make your bun an indoor part of the family.
Will You Reconsider Giving Up Your Bunny?
Before you consider giving up your rabbit, remember that rabbits are social creatures and can become attached to the families they have come to know. Often times, simply making a few changes around your home and having bunny spayed or neutered will alleviate hormonal behavior, improve litterbox habits, and protect the future health of your bunny. Best of all, your bunny’s true, loving and fun personality will shine through.

Bunnies and Children
Parents, please don’t buy a bunny on impulse! With a lifespan of 7-10 (or more) years, rabbits are not low-maintenance and are not a good starter pet. They are also not necessarily a good pet for small children. Rabbits are prey animals by nature. They are physically fragile, can frighten easily, and can bite or nip when they find themselves in an uncomfortable situation. Domestic rabbits should be housed indoors, they require specialized veterinary care and they need unlimited hay in their diet, should eat a limited amount of an all-green pellet (no puffs, seeds, corn, etc.), and a daily salad of dark leafy greens. Be informed before making a bunny a part of your family!
