Sun's out, buns out! Binks and Benjamin sharing their breakfast bluebs 🫐🐰

Did you know that 4 out of 5 rabbits bought in March / April will either be rehomed or die within 12 months? Pet rabbits should live between 8 and 12 years with correct care. Please don't sell, rehome or buy rabbits over the next 2 months 🙏🏼💚

We can't wait for dry, warm, sunshine-filled days! Binks, Benjamin and Piglet are enjoying some strawbs and kale in their shed on this rainy Saturday 🍓 🌿

My veg patch is actually safe from cotton tailed predators this year! Today they enjoyed Kale, Cavelo nero, Oregano and Mint 🌿

The Bunny Sheds little veg and herb patch 🌿

In this patch I'm growing:

Rainbow Chard
Curly Kale
Cavelo Nero
Mint
Oregano
Parsley

What do you grow for your small floofs? 💚

It's much easier to grow for mine now they've got their enclosed outdoor space. Before the fencing it was like an all you can eat buffet! 😅

12/06/2023

Anyone else get terrified seeing this?!? Don't worry guys he's not dead, just completely comfy and sound asleep 😅😅

04/06/2023

Our outdoor space for the bunnies is taking shape. I just hope we've dig / nibble proofed the fence enough so that the veg patch can grow... otherwise I'm calling Mr McGregor!

04/06/2023

A few little additions for enrichment added today... 🥳

03/06/2023

Stage 2 of The Bunny Shed renovation. A fresh lick of paint and the outdoor area has 3/4 wooden bark chip, 1/4 grass, dig patch and mint.

The idea of the enclosed fence is that the bunnies will free roam between shed and outdoor space and it will enable me to plant veg and herbs around the garden that can then feed the buns. Without the white fence, the rabbits think my garden is an all you can eat buffet 😆

The hanging basket on the shed is going to be filled with strawberry plants and the square bed in front of the fence (out of reach from hungry buns) is going to be full of kale, chard and cavelo nero.
There will then be planters of herbs to the side of the garden, an apple tree (great for teeth) and a rose bush where bunnies can eat the fallen petals and cuttings.

03/06/2023

Binky is loving the cool bark chips to lie on in this beautiful weather. Look at his moulty coat 😅 time for a good groom for the buns!

21/05/2023

Stage of 1 of Bunny Shed renovations complete - Yestetday I painted the bunny enclosure fence and placed bark on 1/2 of the outdoor space.

Jobs to do today -
Paint the outside of the shed.
Sew grass seed on the other 1/2 of the outdoor space.
Completely mesh the inside of the fence so there's no escapees.
Plant their veg and herbs outside!

Coming home from work, sitting in the sun and watching the rabbits playing in the garden is such a calming way to unwind 🥰

Roast dinner day! 🥕
Who else buys carrots with tops on just so the bunnies or pigs get the carrot tops and peelings? Just remember actual carrots (not the tops) are high in sugar so should only be fed sparingly as a treat 🧡

People often ask me if boys can bond because some breeders will tell you 2 boys will "fight to the death". Here's a video of Benjamin (the 1.2kg mini lop) and Binks (the 6kg giant French Lop) during their bonding process💙. Unless cuddling causes death, these 2 are just fine! The key to bonding is neutering, living next to each other to smell and see each other, waiting 6 weeks to actually introduce and then gradually introduce on neutral territory when they stop showing as much interest in each other through the bars, with as many herbs and veg as you can distract them with. Despite his size, Binks is the resident softy... He chases magpies away, scares off cats, loves unconditionally, gives nose kisses and he let's the other rabbits use him as a pillow... He's a true gent 🥰 (and yes, Binks enjoys playing football🤣)

I just want to make it clear that the baby bunnies who left here, including Barnaby, were not bred here but they were raised by me. Their mama came to us last Summer and gave birth unexpectedly 4 days later. From years of running this page, I know my inbox will go wild between now and September for cute baby rabbits because of the sunshine and I couldn't be more content to reply "we don't have any here but have you tried Marias Animal Shelter Probus, Registered Charity?"
There are 67,000 rabbits sent to rescue centres every year. EVERY. YEAR. That statistic isn't that there's 67,000 rabbits needing a home... That will be another 67,000 rabbits by December. And that's not the ones advertised on social media or word of mouth, those are just the ones in rescues. Isn't that shocking?
It took me 8 months to find Barnaby a home (the best kind of home!) and not because we didn't have 100s of messages every day. The replies of tiny cages filled with sawdust, the photos of dirty hutches at the end of the garden with no run, the "its my daughters birthday in 2 weeks do you have any rabbits?" messages, the "how much?" texts, the flurry of messages between April and September but zero interest in the Winter...
At The Bunny Shed we are PROUD to say we do NOT breed. We're here to help find homes for these numbers, not contribute to them 👇🏼
And what's amazing, is if you got this far the chances are you're our favourite kind of followers who actually know how important rabbit welfare is and aren't here looking for tiny baby floofs 🥰😘
Let's see your rescues / rehomes in the comments 👇🏼

We couldn't be happier that Barnaby (or 'Barnabunny' as we liked to call him) has gone to live with his brother and sister!! Such a lucky bunny to find his forever home with this lovely family 🐇❤️

Good morning from Piglet and Benjamin 🐽

The buns are having a breakfast of Pak Choy leaves and Coriander. What's your bunnies favourite veg or herb? 👇🏼

The bunnies are enjoying the outdoors today ☀️. Thank goodness Storm Noa didn't last very long! Add photos of your buns enjoying the outdoors in the comments 👇🏼

Have you considered planting Timothy grass seed in your garden? The exact same grass that gets dried to form Timothy Hay. I grow a large patch for the rabbits and just look at the difference between the Timothy grass and common grass seed... Timothy is SO much thicker and greener.

You can buy the seeds on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shelled-Warriors-Timothy-Grass-Seeds/dp/B01GU430M4/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?adgrpid=53938338675&hvadid=259150459330&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1006777&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=387963381468831670&hvtargid=kwd-298647121398&hydadcr=16905_1717158&keywords=timothy+grass+seed&qid=1680555095&sr=8-4

Not an ad or a gift, our buns just highly recommend 'em 💚

Good morning from Piglet and Millie 🐷🐰

Some inspiration for indoor enclosures ⭐🌿

Things to remember for indoor buns:

🌟 Rabbits are crepuscular which means they are most active just after sunrise and around sunset. They need space to run around that is additional to the sleeping enclosure. Please ensure if you have an indoor rabbit, they are safe from other pets (especially dogs and cats) and can explore without the risk of chewing cables.

🌟 Rabbits can be litter trained but need to be neutered in order to remain that clean. Neutered rabbits are excellent at using a litter tray and will go back to the tray when they know they 'need to go'. If your rabbit isn't neutered you need to expect wees and poos EVERYWHERE.

🌟 The indoor space needs to be beneficial to the rabbit not just aesthetically pleasing. Try to ensure there is plenty of space to hop around and move freely.

🌟 Please do not, under any circumstances, use the indoor cages at petsathome. These are so so small and run the risk of rabbits staying caged up and forgotten about 💔. From day one, get into the habit of letting your rabbit out to safely explore and spend time with them each day.

Stacey Solomans TV show has caused a lot of complaints after the show recommended a family "declutter" their rabbits by putting them in a small hutch outside. Help us educate new bunny owners by posting the spaces your bunnies live in the comments below 👇🏼❤️

Sun's out, buns out! Binks and Benjamin sharing their breakfast bluebs 🫐🐰

We can't wait for dry, warm, sunshine-filled days! Binks, Benjamin and Piglet are enjoying some strawbs and kale in their shed on this rainy Saturday 🍓 🌿

My veg patch is actually safe from cotton tailed predators this year! Today they enjoyed Kale, Cavelo nero, Oregano and Mint 🌿

Mr Binks and Benjamin just wanted to let you know they are indeed still eating... Just incase anyone was worried they'd wasted away over Christmas 😅🥕🥬

It's nice to see some dry weather again isn't it? Today was so mild it was lovely to see the buns enjoying being out and chomping the grass. Our rose bush and apple tree had a good trim from Binks 🌹🍎

While I was packing their shed with straw for warmth thinking the evenings are getting colder, these 3 were choosing to play outside in the rain... 🤔😂

Winnie has access to a 12ft grassy enclosed outdoor space but since Bandits passing, shes choosing a bit of peace and quiet in their hutch (which is thermal wrapped and waterproof☺️). I've spoilt her with extra veg, herbs, treats and cuddles. Whenever you have 1 rabbit on their own and think they're happy, wait until you see them with company ❤️ Please keep your rabbits in 2s or more 🙏🏼

Does anyone remember us rehoming Winnie in August? 4 days after she arrived she gave birth to 4 beautiful little babies (that was a big surprise!). Sadly 1 died shortly after being born but the other 3 are thriving. Winnie wasn't such a big fan of them after a few weeks so they've been hand reared since they were 3 weeks old, bottle fed on warmed goats milk and a whole lot of cuddles. They are almost 2 months old and fully weaned onto Timothy Hay, science selective Junior and a few tastes of Mint, Parsley and carrot tops. Here's a little video of 1 of the babies having a bedtime cuddle to warm your hearts on this rainy evening... ❤️

Here's a little video of when Winnie met Bandit 🥰 my grumpy little old man has finally got a spring, or binky, in his step 😍. And the bum twitch from Winnie is rabbit language for being super happy 😁

Let's talk 'golden nuggets' aka poo! When you're checking on your rabbits daily, look out for their poos. "Golden" poos are the perfect colour and consistency! Rabbits who have adequate room to exercise and a healthy high quality hay diet will have golden coloured poo that feels dry and, when squashed, turns straight back into hay! The darker, wetter the poo, the worse the diet and lifestyle. Poos that squash into an actual 'poo' consistency are more commonly from rabbits who either have low quality hay (if it's not green in colour, there's no point in feeding it - brown / yellow hay is dead), low quality pellets or muesli (feed a high quality fibre pellet like Science Selective) or don't have enough room to run around and get their gut moving. Go and check your rabbit poos... Tips on improving your rabbits health: Feed high quality green hay - we recommend Science Selective or HayBox.club Scatter feed a small amount of high quality pellets such as Science Selective Allow plenty of space and opportunity for rabbits to run. Rabbits need to constantly move and eat for optimum health. Ditch the shed, convert a play house or shed and either attach a permanent enclosed run or fenced off outdoor space.
