BUNNY CARE CORNER

Good afternoon, everybunn! Wednesday has hopped around again, which means it's time for our bi-weekly chat. We haven't done one of our trivia Q&A columns in a really long time, so I thought it would be fun to do that and make today's BCC an interactive one. So without further ado...

1. Why is hay the most important part of a bunn's diet?
2. How often should a bunny see a rabbit-savvy vet?
3. Why is it important to limit the amount of fruit a rabbit eats?
4. What are the reasons why domestic bunnies must live indoors only?
5. Why is it crucial to spay and neuter bunnies?

Please add your answers to these questions to the comments section, and I will be back in two weeks to share my own!

Until next time...

Nose boops and binkies,
Jasper Jellybean 🐰

A DECADE OF LOVE

Rescue work can be hard sometimes (a lot of times), but is also rewarding beyond words. This email we got today is the perfect reminder of why we do what we do. Nothing fills us with more joy than “hoppy-ever-after” updates like this one. Happy 10 years to Henry and his wonderful family! ❤️

“We are approaching the 10 year anniversary of Henry's "Gotcha Day" which is July 19th, 2015 and wanted to give an update!

Henry was originally named Tupac and came to us with his bonded mate Libby from a family in New York City that Luv-N-Bunns set us up with. The family drove "Tupac" and Libby from NYC to our home in Bucks County. We were told both were 2 years old when we got them but the family only had paperwork on "Tupac." Unfortunately we lost Libby about 3 years later and the vet thought she was much older. Tupac was renamed Henry because he was much more of a quiet guy than a partying rap artist and the name Henry fit more of his Bucks County lifestyle 🙂

Since Libby passed many years ago, he has embraced his bachelor lifestyle and taking over the house as well as being in charge of the new baby that came along in 2017. Henry was nervous at first but quickly found out that toddlers always have food and always have toys that you can knock over and push around. Many nights he would run upstairs to our daughter's bedroom for story time then run down to the play room after she was in bed to play with all of the toys that were left out on the floor. He loved pushing Hess trucks around, knocking over Magna-Tile Creations, and playing with/chewing on any wooden toys. These 2 became inseparable during the pandemic. He was always up for a game of "Bear Cave" under the kitchen table, matchbox cars or running from the Thomas Train or attacking the Roomba.

He's had his share of health issues but we've been really blessed to have some amazing vets that have gotten him through a couple GI stasis episodes, an enormous tapeworm (we still can't talk about this without cringing and it was years ago), a sprained ankle from falling down his ramp in the middle of the night, and most recently an infection that led to swallowing issues and retraction of the left side of his face. Highly recommend the staff at Harleysville Veterinary Hospital!

He's 12 now and doesn't have quite as much energy as he used to (we still get an occasional binky), but he always is in the kitchen at 5pm for his dinner, never misses sitting with us at dinner every night, always comes out to the family room after dinner for cuddles, and then politely nudges our legs at 8pm to go to bed. We could set a clock by our old man! He can't really see anymore - cataracts in both eyes - so we have to leave lights on for him, but he can smell a banana being peeled in the next county and will hunt you down until he gets a piece.

We love our Henry! Thank you Luv-N-Bunns for getting Henry to us.”

TAKE ME HOME TUESDAY

You might remember Speckles from a recent Five Dollar Friday post - look at him now!

Speckles came to us with a group of stray rabbits, all of which had stuffy noses and were feeling a bit dismal and bedraggled. After some excellent veterinary and foster care, each of these bunnies is doing great! Speckles is friendly, pristine with his living space and potty box, and always looking for love. He would probably do well with a bonded partner. He's petite and full of energy and fun.

To meet this little love, email [email protected] for an adoption application!

$5 FRIDAY–TUXEDO
Some bunnies stay with Luv-N-Bunns as long-term permanent fosters due to age, medical needs, or for other reasons. Luv-N-Bunns also pays for medical care for anybunny who has been adopted out who may have pre-existing medical needs (either discovered before adoption or shortly after). As you can imagine, these bills add up!
In July 2022, the SPCA contacted LNB about a bunny in need with possible respiratory issues. It was then discovered that Tuxedo was in heart failure and would require medication twice a day. She’s been a permanent resident in her foster home where she is receiving the on-going care she needs nearly three years later.
We can't help bunnies like Tuxedo without your support. We appreciate anything you have to give! You make our work possible.

WELL BUNNY WEDNESDAY–TOO MUCH SUGAR!

Rabbits have sensitive digestive tracts and timothy hay should be their main diet. However, many well-meaning bunny parents like to share a treat with their bunns once in a while. While a slice of banana or a bite of apple won’t do harm if given sparingly, an entire banana, whole apple or giant piece of fruit definitely could!

Citrus fruits should NEVER be given to rabbits (too acidic) but small quantities of the following fruits could be OK given sparingly (once a week or less): bananas, apples, berries, grapes (cut up), cherries, nectarine, peach, pear, papaya and watermelon. Make sure any pits or seeds are removed as they contain cyanide which could make your bunny very sick! Dried fruit can also be a treat option, but keep in mind the sugar content may increase as the water is removed so give an even smaller quantity than fresh fruit.

Too much sugar could change your rabbit’s gut bacteria, causing bloating, diarrhea, and GI status. Their guts were made to digest large amounts of hay, so we don’t want to change the delicate balance by introducing too much sugar. Just like in humans, too much sugar could also cause unhealthy weight gain and tooth decay.

Timothy hay, high quality pellets and leafy green veggies should be the main components of your bunn’s diet. A slice of banana ONCE IN A WHILE is an appreciated treat though!

As always, take your bunny to a rabbit-savvy vet if anything seems “off”, especially after eating anything new.

Hoppy Tails!

TAKE ME HOME TUESDAY

Once upon a time in a magical land called Philadelphia, there was a little white bunny. This bunny, named Piglet, had a special power. You see, as bad as things were for her, she never lost hope. When her tummy rumbled with hunger, when the night sky thundered overhead, as she huddled and shuddered under houses, her hope never left her. Life is better now. Her belly is always full and she never feels unsafe. But she still has hope; hope for the love of a forever family. Could you be the hope she is waiting for?

Her paws are crossed, and so are our fingers. Email [email protected] for an adoption application!

LIVING IN HARMONY

Another hoppy update!

“Parker adopted Vashti Bunyan in the winter of 2022, and in the three years since, one thing has become abundantly clear: this gal’s got a lot of personality. She binkies on command, loves to chin everything in sight, and understands what a wide variety of words mean. She’s a cuddle bug, and not a night goes by that she doesn’t jump up on the bed and snuggle up next to Parker while he falls asleep

Vashti is named after a British folk singer, and true to her name, she loves music. As soon as Parker starts playing his guitar, she starts binkying and runs over to bite the guitar strings…it’s her way of saying ‘let me play too!’”

(Have an update on your LNB adoptee? We’d be delighted to hear it! Please email [email protected] and we’ll share in a future post!)
