Thank you very much for visiting! I LOVE my rabbits so I decided to make a page about them, and the proper care of rabbits. I have had my bunnies, Annie and Emmie, for 6 years. However, I started researching about rabbits long before I got them-probably a year and a half before I even found which pair I was going to adopt.

I absolutely ADORE them! I wanted to share my knowledge with everyone in hope that everyone who is meant to be a rabbit owner, will love them as much as I do. Not all people are meant to be rabbit owners. Some people think that they are meant to be rabbit owners, buy a rabbit, and then find out that they aren't meant to have one in their life. That's where the House Rabbit Society (HRS) comes in. The HRS is a nationwide, non-profit, all volunteer organization geared to saving unwanted, abused, or neglected rabbits, and educating the public on the care of rabbits.

That's where I adopted my buns from. I'm very happy to have given them a new lease on life, and I am always strongly suggesting that future rabbit owners adopt from them, or their local shelter.

Rabbits are crepuscular (not nocturnal) which means that they are most active at dawn and twilight. During the long mid-day, they rest. This habit fits perfectly into most family schedules: kids at school and parents working during the mid-day, and home in the evening.

Rabbits should be kept INDOORS. As for fresh air, an open window to circulate the air, is really all they need. But not all the time as drafts aren't good for them. You can take them outside, but it is up to you to supervise them! An exercise pen, like the one pictured below, work best. They also work good as a house, as you will see throughout my website, in my pictures. DO NOT leave them unattended! Hawks, raccoons, etc, are predators that will find rabbits in an exercise pen, easy game. Predators are not likely to come near the buns if there are humans around!

Rabbits can live for 9-12 years if they are properly taken care of. My page tells all about the care of bunnies. However, as with any other animal, disease can always shorten their lives, no matter how well you care for your bunny. This is why it is important to find a good, experienced vet.

Well, I hope you enjoy my site, and find it informative. Please feel free to contact me through e-mail, to make comments, ask questions, etc. Also, please don't forget to sign my guestbook, and take my survey/evaluation of my site. Comments and feedback are greatly appreciated!!

Annie and Emmie

Exercise pens are work great in the house for bunnies and make it a breeze to move buns from one room to the next.
