Rabbit Pals

Who wants a free luxury rabbit?

I’m looking for a guardian home for Beans, one of my fifth generation RabbitPals.

Here’s how it works: You get to raise him, love him, and keep him as your own. The only catch is that he’ll need to come back to me for a short time when he’s between 8 months and 1 year old so he can help produce our sixth generation. After that, he’ll return home to you.

I’m located in Utah, so I’d love to find someone nearby, but I’m open to anyone who’s willing to work with me and make the transportation arrangements.

If you’re interested, fill out the adoption application and let me know you’d like to be considered as Beans’ guardian home.

Nervous and scared rabbits need schedules.

Our world is confusing to rabbits. When they start living a life they can predict, their nervous system settles down. Predictable, positive experiences build self esteem, and rabbits with higher self esteem naturally become braver.

I like to recommend 3 things a day and 4 things a week.

The daily things don’t have to happen at the exact same time every day. They can happen after you wake up, after work, or before bed. The important part is that your rabbit starts expecting good things.

Those three daily things should be designed around your rabbit, not someone else’s. Part of it might be whatever you’re currently training, like practicing being picked up every day and going outside for a treat. But the rest should be things your rabbit genuinely enjoys.

If your rabbit loves stacking cups, schedule them. If they love a snuffle mat, schedule it. If they love a certain treat, build that into their day. You’re creating a life where your rabbit can count on good experiences.

One caution: don’t copy someone else’s schedule.

A rabbit that’s terrified needs a very different schedule than a confident rabbit. If your rabbit is extremely fearful, one of their three daily things might simply be you quietly walking over, placing a treat near them, and walking away. That’s enough. Meet your rabbit where they are, then slowly build from there.

Then choose 4 bigger things each week. Maybe it’s free roaming, exploring a new room, spending time in the backyard, or a socialization adventure. Again, let your rabbit help design the schedule. Pay attention to what they love and make those things part of their regular life.

When rabbits know good things are coming, they stop spending so much energy worrying about what might happen next. That’s when you start seeing more confidence, more bravery, and a rabbit that’s genuinely comfortable in their world.

Try it for a month. I think you’ll end up with a completely different rabbit.

One of the fastest ways to build confidence is through routine. I recommend the same three things every day, plus four planned experiences each week.

Let’s start talking about regulating a bunny’s nervous system.

Bunny pickups. Picking them up is actually the easy part. The hard part is helping them feel safe enough that putting them back down isn’t scary.

Nobody wants a SKINNY bunny!

Bunny training guides. I do have some bunny training guides. I have training guides for cuddles, pick ups, socialization, bonding, potty training, and leash training.

Pets enjoy their lives. Livestock exists for human use. If we want PET BUNNIES, we have to run pet protocols. Training.
