Housing/Bunny Proofing
A bunny’s environment is where it lives; not just where it sleeps, eats, exercises and goes to the toilet, but any place that it has access to. The environment also includes all the objects a rabbit comes into contact with and the materials that it n...
Highly recommend this spacious bunny castle as all bunnies need a hide and the wood makes it appropriate for them to chew on if they so choose to.
Wooden Bunny Castle
Add some comfort and color to your bunny’s enclosure with these adorable mats! I put these on top of Saoirse’s wooden castle to prevent her from slipping when she runs, they make a huge difference!
Rabbit bedding mat, 13”x 10”
A sturdy, heavy ceramic bowl is usually the best choice for a bunny.
Ceramic bowls are less likely to tip over than lightweight plastic bowls and help keep the water cooler.
This bowl is large enough for your rabbit to drink comfortably but shallow ...
Lawfery Ceramic Cat Water Fountain, 2.1L/71oz
The RSPCA recommends solid, non-slip flooring and warns that polished laminate, wood and tile can be slippery and stressful for rabbits. It also advises against metal grid flooring because it may harm the feet. That gives us the basic rule: start wit...
12PCS Soft Interlocking EVA Foam Carpet Tiles
A rabbit enclosure is important because it functions as their main shelter; a place to eat, sleep, relax, and feel safe. As a prey species, rabbits need a secure home base to hide in and retreat from potential stressors or perceived threats in their ...
Top Paw® Pet Exercise Pen - 8 panels, Foldable Metal Dog Exercise Pen
Rabbits may look comfortable during warm summer days, but hot weather can become a serious concern for them. Unlike humans, rabbits cannot simply remove layers of clothing or sweat efficiently to cool themselves down. Their thick coats, limited abili...
NACOCO Pet Cooling Mat
Cleaning
Good hygiene is essential for the health and wellbeing of your bunny. So if they end up living in a dirty environment, your bunnies are likely to feel anxious, stressed, and unhappy. Plus, a dirty cage could lead to worrying physical health issues. W...
Perfect litter box with grate to keep bunnies feet clean from stepping on any pee or poop and the stainless steel makes it incredibly easy to clean. I put down a litter liner as well as some hardwood pellets to set up.
Stainless Steel Rabbit Litter Box (16.9" × 13.4" × 6.7")
These liners make cleaning a litter box easier than ever with their drawstring design; nice durable material as well.
Litter Box Liners
Hardwood pellets are easily one of the most underrated things all bunny owners need. Don’t bother wasting your time or money with the paper litter pellets from the pet supply store; you get way less for about 4x the price and the hardwood pellets wil...
Hardwood Pellets, 40 lb.
These waterproof bed mats work perfectly for pee pads! I put one under Saoirse’s plush tiles just in case she does happen to go potty anywhere outside of her litter box.
Bed Pads Washable Waterproof, 52" x 34" (2 Pack)
Food/Treats
Feeding your rabbit a proper diet is more important than just good nutrition. Rabbits have unusually sensitive digestive systems, and eating a high fiber diet of pellets, hay, and veggies can prevent their digestive system from slowing, or worse, sto...
My favorite pellets to use; they have a Timothy hay base, no harmful additives, and they’re veterinarian recommended worldwide!
Oxbow Adult Food 10 lbs
This hay is a great option if you have allergies like myself and its soft fine texture compared to that of Timothy hay makes it much easier to store. I notice that some bunnies seem to enjoy it more than Timothy hay as well.
Oxbow Orchard Grass, 9lb
A heavy ceramic bowl is ideal because they are stable, difficult to tip over, and resistant to chewing. I use these elevated bowls to feed Saoirse her veggies so that she can sit at a comfortable angle while she eats.
2 Pcs Ceramic Elevated Heart Bowls
Toys/Enrichment
Providing a bunny with toys and treats is providing emotional and intellectual enrichment. Play should be a part of your bunny’s life, in addition to exercise and social interaction. Toys provide an outlet for natural behaviors, and play gives a sens...
My all time favorite bunny enrichment option. Bunniebox is a small business founded by other bunny owners in Rochester NY and they provide monthly subscription blind boxes filled with various bunny safe toys and treats. You can get the Lovers Box for...
Bunniebox Subscription
If your bunny doesn’t have a bondmate then I’d highly suggest getting them a plush to groom to provide comfort and enrichment. Bunnies are deeply social animals. A plush toy can act as a stand in companion to reduce loneliness. Saoirse loves this lam...
Lamb Chop Grooming Buddy, 10”
In the wild, a bunny spends much of its day searching for and selecting food at ground level, a behaviour that a domestic setup, often just a bowl, barely engages anymore. A snuffle mat filled with pellets, forage mix, or treats recreates that active...
Snuffle Mat
In the wild, bunnies spend hours searching for food. These stacking cups help them tap into that same instinct. Stack them, scatter them, or flip them upside down with a treat underneath. Your bunny gets to use its nose and paws to problem solve, whi...
8 Pcs Bunny Stacking Cups
Health/Grooming
Keeping a bunny groomed is a vital health routine in itself because it will help prevent fatal digestive blockages, painful injuries, and chronic mobility problems for them in the long run and it is better to always keep their grooming routine mainta...
Hands down the best brush I’ve ever used on Saoirse. We went through so many before finding this one. Trust me; if you have a bunny with a short fluffy coat like Saoirse’s this will make yours and your bunny’s life so much better.
Side note: do NOT u...
SleekEZ Cat Deshedding Brush
Overgrown nails can hinder your rabbit’s movement. Rabbits are agile creatures, and long nails can cause discomfort, making it challenging for them to hop around freely. This can lead to a less active and less happy bunny. Long nails are more prone t...
Nail Clippers
Ensuring that you’re always prepared to cover your rabbit’s healthcare costs is a great way to care for your bunny. Take a proactive approach by considering a pet insurance policy even before your rabbit faces any health issues. In the United States,...
