Just an FYI for those that are interested- we took a little breeding hiatus due to family travel and will not have anything available until late May/early June most likely. There’s always a chance I may decide to part with one or two of our show/breeding rabbits during the next month or two but aside from that it’s going to be a little bit before we have much to offer.

Thank you for your interest and patience! Feel free to check back mid May in a private message if you’d like an update at that time. 🙂

Let’s talk about vaccines!

One of the first things people often ask me is “is the rabbit vaccinated?” The answer is usually no. There are only two vaccines that are available for rabbits at this time. One is BunnyVac, a vaccine for pasturella, and we do vaccinate our bunnies for that but usually wait until 12 weeks to do so. So, if you are getting a rabbit from us that is under 12 weeks, they have most likely not been vaccinated for that yet. The main reason for this is that the vaccine is administered twice, the first time and then a booster a month later (and then annually after that). I wouldn’t want to give a rabbit the 1st shot if the new owner decides they don’t want to vaccinate them or can’t get a vet appointment for the booster in time and then it was a waste of the first vaccine as well as unnecessary stress on a young rabbit’s sensitive immune system. The other reason is that a lot of rabbits will develop an abscess at the injection site and I wouldn’t want to be sending bunnies off to new owners with an abscess that needs to be drained or is still in the process of healing.

The other vaccine that you can get for your rabbit is for RHDV2. This disease is extremely worrisome for the rabbit population, however it isn’t prevalent in this area of the country yet. There was one isolated case in WI over a year ago, but nothing since then. For this reason we do not vaccinate our rabbits for this. If more cases start popping up nearby, it is something we will vaccinate for. If you are concerned, by all means talk to your veterinarian about getting your rabbit vaccinated for RHDV2.

So to sum it up, it is totally up to you if you’d like to vaccinate your rabbit. I would personally recommend the one for pasturella, as this respiratory disease is fairly common and if you can prevent it I think it’s worth it to do so. Just call to make sure your vet carries that vaccine before setting up an appointment, because a lot of vets don’t (even ones that say they will see rabbits, which is a whole other topic for a different day 😉)

“Cream Soda” lives in my daughter’s room and whenever I go to put away her laundry he will circle me and nibble at my pants until I sit down and give him head rubs 😂 Seriously the sweetest little guy 🥰 But I do need to stop showering you with attention and get back to laundry sir! 😂

That one Frosty has ALL the zoomies 😂😂😂

I also think it’s funny how none of their ears have started to drop yet but the other Frosty has just one ear completely lopped already 😂

I did not expect to be posting this girl, but after multiple attempts at getting a live litter from her without success, I have decided she deserves to go to a family that will love on her as a pet since she can’t be a part of our breeding program. She is 1 year old. She is so sweet, chill, and friendly. She’s easy to handle and could make a wonderful therapy bunny or personal companion. She is showable and has very nice show type as well if you are interested in doing that with her. Just can’t be bred. Contact me if you think she’d be a good fit for you, I’d love to see her go to an awesome home (and just a fair warning I *may* get a little misty-eyed when she leaves.) ❤️

Oh and don’t mind the patchy looking coat in these photos- she is in the process of losing her old coat and growing in a new one.

This broken black doe will be ready to go to a new home shortly. 🖤 🤍

Let’s talk about GI Stasis!

I’ve thought about starting to post some more educational content on here and the first thing I wanted to talk about is GI Stasis in rabbits. That is simply a term for a rabbit whose intestines have become static and they have a decreased or completely absent appetite and lack of stools. This can be caused by a variety of things. Let me start by saying I am not a veterinarian so any advice I post on here will just be my personal opinions formulated from my experience that I hope will be helpful. I did work at a vet for a while before I became a stay at home mom and have almost 20 years of experience raising rabbits so I’ve dealt with most common rabbit health issues. GI stasis in rabbits is probably the most common issue you will come across. I thankfully haven’t dealt with it a ton considering the number of years and rabbits I’ve cared for, and I think that is due to the fact that I feed my rabbits a good balanced pellet diet accompanied by hay. Diet can be a very controversial topic amongst rabbit enthusiasts, and there is a lot of different information out there on what is best. A lot of pet rabbit websites will swear by an almost 100% grass hay diet with maybe a tablespoon of pellets and lots of fresh veggies. However almost all show rabbit breeders will swear by an almost 100% quality pellet diet with grass hay as a bonus and fresh veggies only as treats. I think the reason a lot of pet owners that follow the mostly grass hay and veggies diet deal with stasis so frequently is because you can’t guarantee what vitamins and nutrients different grass hay will have in it and when you are feeding all different veggies the same thing applies- the rabbit is going to be dealing with a constantly varying diet that may or may not be meeting their nutritional needs. Also certain veggies can cause stomach upset and gas which then leads to the rabbit not eating. A pellet is formulated to be consistent and supply the exact nutrients and vitamins a rabbit requires on a daily basis for a complete and balanced diet. Now I definitely don’t see anything wrong with free feeding hay, in fact I encourage it, but I don’t think all hay is created equal and therefore can’t be relied upon as the rabbit’s entire diet with little to no pellets.
However, even if a rabbit is being fed a balanced pellet diet, a lot of the time stasis can still occur during times of molt (when they shed their entire coat and grow in a new one, usually twice a year). When rabbits start grooming themselves during these times, they ingest a lot of hair and that hair can cause a blockage in their gut. The first signs of this will be their p**p getting smaller (or stopping all together) and the loss of appetite. If any of my rabbits stop eating, even for one day, I immediately offer them hay, old fashioned rolled oats, and any fresh veggies I have on hand (parsley, cilantro, and kale tend to be 3 that most rabbits can’t resist) to get their gut moving if they will eat it. If they don’t immediately eat those things, I will give them cat hairball remedy paste. Usually, that is enough to break up the blockage and the rabbit will start eating again. It is absolutely key to catch stasis right away. A rabbit that stops eating and drinking will go downhill very fast and can die if not given immediate treatment. I always keep cat hairball remedy paste on hand as well as probiotic paste (sold for horses at Tractor Supply) and baby gas drops for emergency stomach upset situations. Critical Care is a nutritional supplement that can also be given in situations where the rabbit hasn’t eaten for more than a day or two to help them bounce back.
If you made it to this point, let me know if you’d like more educational content! Hope this helps someone, and as always, I’m available via DM if you have questions.

Good deals on baby playpens at Walmart right now so of course we had to buy one for the bunns! These two little cuties are checking out the new play area (although the boy was way more interested in eating oats) 🙂

I think mom and dad literally said copy/paste 4 times with this litter 😂 They are hard to tell apart! There is one girl though, one is smaller than the rest, and one boy has blue eyes so I think I can keep them straight 😝 3 of them will be looking for new homes soon if you’ve been waiting 🙂

This little guy is looking for a family. He is show quality but also has a very sweet temperament so could make a nice pet too. PM with any questions.
