Happy Easter!

IF you happen to have gotten a bunny (or chick, cat, dog, or ANY pet!) for Easter...please, just be a good human being and learn about your new pet. Do your best, learn as much as you can, and be responsible with them.

If you haven't gotten a new pet and you think you are ready for one in your life...maybe consider fostering a bunny. There are so very many of them that need a good home and if you are ready, you can provide that wonderful, loving, responsible, home that they so desperately need. Shelters and rescues have lots of bunnies available!

Oof...my how time flies. Especially so in these trying and turbulent times. Easter is just days away. That signal of rebirth and uplifting life.

So it is time for the obligatory..don't get a bunny at Easter message...or is it?

I got my first bunny as an Easter left-over from a local pet store when I went in to get something else and fell in love with the little guy. I took him home, had no idea what I was doing, and had to LEARN how to take care of a pet rabbit. This was in 1992...yeah, I am old.

Since then, it has been a fantastic journey of joy, and heartache, and wonder, and sadness. It hits hard when rabbits only live to about ten or so years old. The same is true with ANY pet with which you have a bond.

Thankfully, along this journey, I have had the privilege of many, many pet rabbits in my life. Some with special needs, some that came to me injured, some that were gregarious, some that were shy, some that were really troublesome...and ALL a wonder to behold.

The ones that have passed on, I miss greatly. The ones that I fostered and adopted out, I am so grateful to have had the chance to learn from you.

All because of a little Easter left-over.

So, IF you are wanting that in your life...GO, get a bunny, adopt a bunny, foster a bunny...and LEARN everything you can from them and about how to take care of them, forever.

If you can be there for them and be responsible 'with' them...it is absolutely worth it.

If you want to know the tips, tricks, and secrets to making living with your bunny as easy and wonderful as possible, just message me. I am happy to pass on what they have all taught me.

Get your bunny on!

I get asked a lot of questions about living with a pet rabbit. I was asked if there was only 'one' piece of advice for those with a pet rabbit...what would that be.

It is simple...if you want to live with a pet rabbit....GET READY TO PIVOT!

All too often I hear from rabbit owners who want their rabbit to behave in a way contrary to the nature of the bunny. Often..."I want them to do 'this' (some specific behavior)or NOT do 'this'."

Usually it is not something that bunnies are likely to want to do or certainly not how they normally behave. It is akin to fitting a square peg into a round hole...it really doesn't matter how much 'you' want it to work.

You want to be successful with your pet rabbit? you want to have a truly engaging life with them? GET READY TO PIVOT.

You can guide them. You can set things up so that you can best protect them AND your home (and yourself)...but you can't expect a rabbit to not be a rabbit! If you DO expect that...then just don't get a rabbit. You're not going to be happy and they're not going to be happy.

It really is 'that simple.' PIVOT!

February is Adopt A Rescued Rabbit Month, AND there’s Valentine’s Day. Love is in the air, and on our minds. There’s a lot to love about pet rabbits…they’re cute, they’re furry, they’re funny, they’re adorable, and so much more. Once you let a rabbit into your life, you’re never quite the same. Some are shy and demure while others are gregarious and inquisitive. They’re also clever and devious and troublesome…you gotta love ‘em! Even if they DO drive you mad at times.

With pet rabbits it is important to think carefully about the items you provide for them and how you keep them safe. An unattended bunny can be a recipe for disaster…they WILL find trouble in the unlikeliest of places. They will get into things you never would have thought possible. They will eat or chew things you wouldn’t even imagine.

That is why at Petwerks we take every precaution in choosing our materials and in our designs. Everything we make is designed specifically to be safe for pet rabbits…for YOUR pet rabbit. We have over THIRTY years of making and testing our items with rabbits just to make sure they can’t hurt themselves.

Why? Because we love rabbits.

Show them some LOVE this month with toys, or a home, or chew treats that are all Bunny SAFE, Bunny APPROVED, made with Bunny LOVE!

Plus…now through the end of February we will include a cute Love Flower just for you with every order over $20…and always FREE SHIPPING on any order over $49!

Spread the LOVE!

In 1996 (yeah...that's been a few years ago...what...28 YEARS)I was finishing up my degree at college and built some bunny homes which I sold at a local pet store. I named them Bunny Abodes...because they are 'homes' for bunnies. Jump ahead to November 22nd of 1997...I registered the URL for LeithPetwerks.com.

Since that time, sometimes with the help of others, we have made thousands of Bunny Abodes and lots and lots of advancements in design and comfort for your bunnies. All so your bunny can have a happy and healthy home with you for as long as possible. I know that lots of places like to point out that they are a 10 year commitment...but I feel like all we 'get' is maybe 10 to 14 years with them!

I am Thankful for the time we get with our bunnies and all of our pets, and friends, and family. Be thankful...it is over all too quickly. Hug your bunnies, family, and friends.

Holidays are upon us!
We will be CLOSED for Thanksgiving and the day after...as well as the first week of December for a VACATION!

Closed: Nov 28 - December 9th.

Feel free to get your orders in during that time if you want them before Christmas. UPS, USPS, and Fed Ex all get swamped during this time of year so orders take longer to arrive. Inclement weather also wreaks havoc on shipping this time of year...so plan accordingly and get your orders in EARLY! I will get to them just as soon as I get back in December.

Orders received after December 16th may not arrive in time for Christmas!

It has been an interesting couple of weeks. The weather has certainly gotten colder and wetter here in the Pacific Northwest. Dark when I get to work and dark on my drive home at the end of the day...oh joy. However that tells me that Yule and Christmas are nearly upon us...and I LOVE that. So...I have been feeling crafty.

Check out all the new bunny decor that I have added to the Flourish Craftwerks section of the website.

I also went and put lots of stuff on SALE...it IS that time of year after all.

It is the perfect time to load up on all those Holiday bunny toys and treats...before they are gone.

There was recently a question as to why there were so few veterinarians that saw pet rabbits (and why they were so expensive!).

Great question.
You know how populations grow and grow. Just look at the numbers of humans on the Earth. Well, it has been a bit different for pet rabbits.

Back when I got my first pet rabbit in 1992, there were approximately 4.6 million pet rabbits in the US. The number of pet rabbits peaked around 2010 with about 6.6 million pet rabbits. Today...there are only about 2.1 million pet rabbits. That is a HUGE decrease!

As a result, veterinarians are less and less trained for pet rabbits. The market just isn't there for them to spend a whole lot of resources and time on pet rabbits. Cats and Dogs rule the numbers when it comes to pets in the US.

Rabbits just aren't that popular by comparison, hence they are considered an exotic pet and only a small number of vets will have the training, equipment, and resources to see your pet rabbit.

It is big reason why you need to plan accordingly, have your rabbits checked annually, have your vet in hand...BEFORE you need a vet...because it may be difficult or impossible to find one in the heat of the moment. If you don't support them...they just won't be around to support you.
