Blueberry Birch Rabbitry 2.0

Hi Everyone

Please follow our regular page

"Blueberry Birch Rabbitry"

We have our main page back. This one is no longer active, more so here as back up.

As of March 2024

Thank you!😊

Applications are now OPEN for Holland Lops looking to hop 🏡 for Easter.
You can find the form directly on my website.

Please make sure you're fully committed to a bunny and that all members of family are on board. Bunnies have long life spans, 7-10 years and must be cared for by the parents, and not just the children! 🐰 🐥 Also, not just an Easter gift. A pet is a member of the family, always!

Please remember we do take our bunnies back in if they can no longer be kept and absolutely do not allow them to be sent to a rescue / shelter or let loose outside your home.
We must always be contacted first! Thank you 🙏🏻

Happy Saturday! 🩷🐰
We haven’t had Lion Lops looking to hop since last Summer.

But what is a Lion Lop, you say?
A cross between a Lionhead & a Holland Lop!

Lion Lops will have a nice mane around the head (think of a 🦁, rawrrr) and a bib of fluff on their chest. The catch- they won’t ALWAYS have lopped ears, but some ears shorter than others and of course some that DO lop!

These guys are absolute cuties with one girl & 2 boys. Valentine’s Day is next week so let’s make some dreams come true! 💘💝💕

What would everyone prefer?

This little sweetheart will be on my website shortly! 🩷
She is between 9 & 10 weeks old, born on Thanksgiving!

I am late in posting her, as I couldn’t decide between her or her twin sister. She is also Non Vienna and could make a lovely addition to someone’s breeding program.

Feel free to message with any questions.

I often get inquiries for “tan” bunnies.
This little sweetheart is actually considered “Smutty Orange”

Smutty Orange bunnies will normally have a gray undercoat, so any shorter hairs they have will look darker.
I will either have her OR her sister looking to hop..
Non Vienna so could make a nice addition to someone’s program.

When I see orange bunnies, all I can think of is the name Ginger! Although, some may think of the name Clementine!
What would you name her? 😀

Keeps our buns feet clean!💜

Wire-Bottom Flooring for Rabbits… the biggest misunderstanding in the rabbit housing world. It is a common myth spread by some animal rights activists that rabbit breeders house their rabbits on wire flooring because we are “too cheap” to provide proper housing, or “too lazy” to clean up after our animals. This could not be further from the truth. Let’s talk about it!

Proper gauge (14-16 GA) wire bottom flooring keeps rabbits clean and out of their messes at all times, which helps to prevent parasitic infestations and bacterial infections.

“So why don’t you use a litter box?”

With a litter box, your rabbit is still standing on its poop/p*e several times a day unless you literally clean it every single time they p*e, which is unrealistic. F***l matter, even a tiny amount, getting cleaned off rabbits’ feet can be ingested and cause coccidiosis, either intestinal or hepatic, which can wreak havoc on a rabbits’ system, particularly in younger rabbits still developing. Getting urine on feet can cause urine scald, thin the fur out on the feet, cause bacterial infection, and ultimately lead to sore hocks. Wire keeps them clean and dry 100% of the time. This is highly important, especially with babies, as they can easily pick up coccidiosis from a dirty environment.

“Rabbits don’t have paw pads so wire is uncomfortable for them.”

You are right - rabbits do not have paw pads like cats and dogs, they have plush fur in the bottom of their feet, which cushions them even more. 14-16 gauge wire is is not uncomfortable or cruel in the slightest. We all care about the well-being of our animals and love to watch them binky and run. They are able to do so easily on wire flooring - it doesn’t hinder them at all. Part of the fun in raising rabbits, for whatever purpose, is to watch them grow and be happy.

Wire flooring is safe. There is no chance that a rabbit will ingest it and get intestinal blockage. The same can’t be said for carpeting and blankets. Rabbits can easily ingest fabric and strings, which is not digestible - ultimately this is extremely dangerous and can cause a blockage, resulting in death. Even with emergency care, a rabbit’s GI system has a very difficult time recovering from stasis and they do not handle anesthetics well. It is not a risk I’m willing to take for my prized show rabbits and potential growouts.

My experience? The worst case of sore hocks I’ve ever seen came from a rabbit that had carpeting in its cage. When the carpet was removed and it was given proper gauge wire bottom flooring, it was able to grow its fur back on its feet and make a full recovery.

Don’t believe all the myths that you are told about rabbits. Some of us have been around the block and know a thing or two, and one of those things is - wire bottom flooring is superior.
