I’m so excited to announce the brilliant bonding expert Heather from The Bunnyjackpot Foundation will be hosting a bonding webinar for us!

Heather will cover ethical rabbit-led bonding, normal behaviors, the importance of companionship for our bunny friends, and much more. I’ve taken this webinar a few times myself and always learn so much. Heather has over ten years of experience with bonding and has bonded thousands of rabbits to date, including many with “problematic” behaviors. She is also a featured speaker at The National Rabbit Festival this year where she will be teaching folks about bonding as well ✨

The cost of the webinar is going to be $27 USD and proceeds will be split between our two rescues so will benefit the buns in our care 🐇🐇🐇

This will be hosted on Zoom and is open to anyone worldwide.

Please email [email protected] to sign up! Space is limited!

Sometimes fate takes a little longer than expected. Our ever so patient 🗝Coraline has found her forever family…complete with 🐰 HTI alums:🌹 Chris HAREison and 🥬 Phil Collards!!! After 🌹 Chris lost his bonded mate 💔 his family thought what better way to honor her memory than to adopt a friend to help heal their (human and bunny) hearts! ❤️ Thank you so much for adopting x3!

🗝Coraline: We hope you had a 💐HAPPY EASTER💐 and that people chose chocolate instead of us🐰🐰🐰 as gifts this year! 💕 Bunnies…like myself are not even close to being easy or low maintenance. Do your part and do your research prior! Pets are forever! Start here: rabbit.org ❤️🐰

Definitely spay and neuter! ❤️🐰

And 🙏🏻 for Ziggy! 💫

PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR RABBITS!!!

Did you know intact female rabbits have an 80% chance of developing reproductive cancer after age 3? Sadly Ziggy knows. She is only 3.5 years old and when she was spayed a couple weeks ago, our vet found some masses in her uterus. We sent them off for histopathology and they came back as adenocarcinoma(the malignant type of cancer.) She will have X-rays done on Friday to show us if it has metastasized yet(usually goes to the lungs) so please send her all the positive vibes you can 🙏🏼

Definitely NOT a starter pet.
Always important to do your research!
❤️🐰

Are bunnies starter pets? Yesterday, we got several applications which said “a rabbit will be a great starter pet” for their kids. So we thought we’d briefly explain.

No, they are not starter pets or pets for children, and here’s why:

1. Rabbits live 8-12 years
2. 80% of unfixed females get uterine cancer
3. Rabbits are classified as exotic animals due to the sensitivity of their G.I tract
4. Cages, bottles, and most pet store treats are actually improper or unsafe for rabbits
5. They require hours of socialization or else become bunstructive
6. Bunnies can spray p*e
7. They bite to deglove with their 28 teeth
8. They are prey animals so do not enjoy being held or picked up
9. Exotic veterinarians have high vet fees

This is not to say that rabbits don’t make great companions…they do. They’re just not starter pets and not pets for children unless an adult is the primary caretaker.

Want a starter pet? Try a rock.
