​In this article, I will break down what Vetericyn actually is, and why it is so vital to have if you are a pet owner of any kind. I have personal experience with using Vetericyn, and it is absolutely fantastic. Simply put it is a pet safe product for skin, wound, and eye care. However it's applications and pet friendly safe features span above and beyond just that. For a complete breakdown on all of Vetericyn's features, and uses, click READ MORE below.
Before I jump into the benefits and applications that Vetericyn covers, I will give a quick breakdown on what and how I came to use it. Although, I have used this product for years in case of a bunny emergency, my dog Scarlette was recently hit by a speeding vehicle in a hit and run. She had a dislocated hip that required surgery, and a huge gash on her lower left leg. On that particular part of her leg, the skin was too thin to stitch. Following her surgery, the Vet still could not get the wound on her leg to heal, and we were left to letting air hit the wound in order to scab up and heal. Obviously with an open wound like that, there is a huge risk of infection, which is what worried me the most. So, I turned to Vetericyn. Hoping to heal the wound, let it scab, and reduce the risk of infection. The results were a complete success! Her leg is now scabbing, healing, and completely infection free. Listed below are the major features that make it so fantastic!
  • Completely safe and non-toxic–even if ingested
  • Safe to use around the eyes, ears, and mouth
  • Will not sting or burn
  • Will not stain furniture or clothes
  • Can be used on all animal species at any life stage
  • Promotes the healing process by keeping the wound area clean and moist
  • Veterinary-recommended as an on hand for your pet’s first aid needs
  • Manufactured and bottled in the USA in an FDA-registered facility
Primary uses consist of a plethora of injuries such as:
  • Use for cuts, scrapes, abrasions, and other minor wounds
  • Clean cuts, scratches, and abrasions
  • Clean post-surgical sites
  • Treat wound sites
  • Moisturize wound dressings
  • Bite wounds
  • Pressure sores
  • Abscesses
  • Skin ulcers
  • Relieve itch and pain
This product in it's multiple forms has truly been instrumental in many pet healing processes, and I highly recommend it to be had in case any emergency arises. It is always better to be proactive because accidents do unfortunately sometimes happen. Fortunately, I am happy to have had the ability and knowledge to have it at my disposal.

​Cleaning your bunny's Litter Box properly is an essential part of keeping your bunny in top health, and maintaining a long, happy life. It also is an essential part of Litter Box Training in the early days of bringing your new baby bunny home. Click READ MORE below in order to view all ten steps to cleaning your bunny's Litter Box thoroughly and properly.
The Steps are as follows:
1. Take a paper towel and fully remove all the Litter from the Litter Box.
2. Then proceed to rinse with hot water on both the front and back of the Litter Box.
3. Create a mixture in a Spray Bottle of 40% Ammonia to 60% water and thoroughly spray the front and back. Then let that sit for 10-15 minutes to kill any potential Bacteria.
4. Following the 15 Minutes re-rinse the Litter Box with hot water.
5. Re-fill the Litter Box with hot water and Anti-Bacterial Soap, and let that sit for roughly 10 minutes.
6. Rinse your bunny's litter box out thoroughly with warm water.
7. Dry the Litter box with a clean cloth or paper towel, making sure no moisture remains.
8. Fill the Litter Box all the way across with at least an Inch thick of Litter and gently pat down.
9. Once the Litter Box is filled, Cover roughly 20% of the top of the litter with a 50% mixture of Timothy and Alfalfa Hay
10. On day 4 or 5 Simply repeat steps one through nine thus eliminating any odors and bacteria.
This is by far the most effective way we have created to clean litter boxes. Bunnies grow up with absolutely no health issues at all that can potentially spur from improper cleaning. The steps, when followed, do work to perfection, so I would strongly recommend adapting this method if you have not already!

Keeping your bunny safe, healthy and happy is of the upmost importance. The best way we at Lovely Bunny's have grown to do this is through educating our customer base, and bunny lovers around the world as a whole. As I always reiterate, our bunny's are solely indoor bunnies from the first day they are beautifully born and for the duration of their long, happy lives. Listed below are the essential guidelines to follow in order to keep them comfortable without risk of dehydration or heat stroke. Click READ MORE for a full breakdown on indoor and outdoor safety!
Indoor Safety
Keeping your bunny safe from dehydration or worse indoors requires 3 simple guidelines and poses far less risk than outdoors.
1. Bunnies are unique in which they do not have sweat glands. In light of this bunnies love and need consistent access to fresh bottled or sterile water. Tap water is not applicable due to an excess of foreign minerals and bacteria domesticated bunnies are unaccustomed to.
2. Bunnies require an area of shade to retreat to at all times. Blanket heat penetrating through a window on your bunny for the duration of the day can potentially be harmful to keeping their bodies temperature regulated.
3. Room temperature should hover consistently from 68 to 72 degrees. A few degrees above 72 is still optimal as long as steps 1 and 2 are followed.
Outdoor Safety
Keeping your bunny safe outdoors requires far more stringent guidelines.
*It is important to note no matter the temperature always monitor your bunny outdoors to keep them safe from other animals or venturing into areas that are not safety regulated.
1. If you would like to take in some fresh air with your bunny 80-82 degrees should be the temperature threshold.
2. Always be mindful to check the floor temperature to prevent their paws from being burnt. Do this by using your foot or hand to check the heat intensity. If it is too hot for your bare skin, it is too hot for your bunnies paws.
3. Make sure there is access to a vast shaded area for them to retreat to.
4. Extended lengths outdoors should be avoided at all costs. 20-25 minutes of outdoor activity is strongly recommended.
5. Same as indoors, bring a fresh bowl of chilled bottled water and compound this by making sure they always have access to drink.
6. Pre-scan the outdoor area for harmful summer insects such as bees and mosquitos. Most importantly expand the scan area further for any nest areas.
7. Be mindful of air quality. Forest fires have been running rampant in Canada this month. With the smoke making its way down to the United States your local weather updater will have your areas air quality. If the air quality in your area for the day currently trends outside of good to very good, please keep playtime solely to an indoor day.
As always if you have any additional questions or concerns please always feel free to reach out at any time. Wishing all of our customers and bunny lovers alike all of our love!

Bunny Pictured Still Available! Click Here To See All Of Our Available Bunnies
 
​Rabbits traditionally carry a stigma that they are not clean animals, and often because of a consistent relation to a farm animal, people will relate them to an odor that a farm animal carries. Rabbits are fantastic groomers and really are not odorous at all, even without the traditional grooming of a cat or dog. Click Read More below in order to gain an understanding of how they accomplish this both through themselves and their bathroom habits!
First, rabbits are schedule oriented pets. Our Holland Lops are specifically domesticated indoor pets and far removed from wild society for decades. With this comes the added benefit of them liking cleanliness, and to groom themselves on a daily basis. The truth is Holland Lops do not carry an odor at all. They subconsciously litter train, and as a result your bunny remains virtually odorless. Unlike a cat or dog that would need grooming from outdoor activities that will mat their fur, track dirt, and eventually create a situation in which a visit to the groomer will be required.
Second, Rabbits are Prey Animals and Vegetarians by nature. The majority of other house pets are predators, in which meat is a required part of their daily diet. What causes an odor in their feces is actually the bacteria ingested within the meat. When it comes to Rabbits their droppings are small solid pellet like circles with essentially no odor at all due to their Vegetarian diet. While Urine across the board will carry a small odor, by the time it is ready for a bunny to go home, their urination habits have been solely limited to their litter box.
Lastly, with proper directives we give on setting their initial set up properly, it simply comes down to proper cleaning of their habitat, in which the steps are simplistic and followed very easily. Combining all these factors, paints a very different, and much more accurate picture of what it is like to own a indoor pet rabbit. Thus breaking the stigma of rabbits being what some will call a smelly animal. As long as the proper maintenance is taken care of by their owner, rabbits are in fact one of the most cleanly and odorless domesticated pets in the world today. I feel this is a true testament to the spreading of proper education, and the result being rabbits being one of the most sought out pets in the world today! As always if you have additional questions always feel free to reach out!

A baby bunny in perfect health
A Baby Bunny In Top Health From Lovely Bunnys


​Keeping your rabbit happy has a direct relationship to them being in great health. Below I will break down 10 major tips on keeping your new pet bunny in great health starting from a baby and continuing through their adult lives.
Rabbit Health Tip #1
Education- Educating yourself on your particular breed of pet rabbit you intend to add to your family is the ultimate first stepping stone. Pet rabbit care varies by breed, and sometimes breeder in terms of recommended brands of supplies, along with feeding schedules and the initial set up for your new baby bunny. It is of the upmost importance to stay interactive with your breeder on a communicative level both prior to and following bringing home your new pet. Make sure to read all material distributed prior to you taking your bunny home, in addition to following all steps that are entailed within the reading or outlined material. If any questions arise at any moment, it is important to call or text to receive real time accurate information.
Rabbit Health Tip #2
Find a Veterinarian- Following taking home your new pet rabbit, it is strongly recommended to take your bunny for a standard wellness check. We at Lovely Bunny's are always more than happy to give options of Veterinarians we work with regularly and have very solid reputations. You could also search to find one on your own. This covers two major tasks. The first, being it gives that second seal of approval that your bunny is in one hundred percent top health. The second being it gives you the ability to form a relationship with a Veterinarian to use and trust for the duration of your rabbit's 10-12 year life span.
Rabbit Health Tip #3
Continuing The Correct Process- Every customer receives a Bunny Care Guide and Packet with articles to follow and reference to fully raise your bunny in the proper health structure and the proper dietary procedures. See Article The Ultimate Pet Rabbit Research Care Packet for additional details by clicking the link provided.
Rabbit Health Tip #4
Follow The Proper Diet- Your bunny's diet will alter slightly over time, especially when the introduction of Vegetables being at the proper age mark. We recommend introducing the first Vegetable, Parsley or Kale at the four month mark and follow the article linked Treating Your Bunny To Fruits And Vegetables Properly
Rabbit Health Tip #5
Generally Pet Bunny Health- Always be aware and cognizant of how your bunny is functioning, and how personality changes may indicate an issue with your bunny. A Fantastic Article to reference is Pet Bunny Health- What To Watch Out For And How To Recognize it - reacting to warning signs quickly will lead directly to your bunny having an extended life in top health
Rabbit Health Tip #6
 Bunny Body Condition Score- Using the Bunny Body Condition Score which you can view an in depth description in this article Keeping Your Bunny Healthy Using The Bunny Body Condition Score is an extremely effective way to keep your bunny in top physical shape between Veterinarian yearly or semi-annually check ups.
Rabbit Health Tip #7
Plenty Of Exercise- This is pretty standard, however your bunny on a daily basis should either be free roamed, and if not at least have three hours of playtime to keep their Joints, Ligaments, and Muscles in top working order especially as your bunny begins to age. The older your rabbit gets, the more important and necessary exercise becomes.
Rabbit Health Tip #8
Keep Your Bunny as a Indoor Pet- Domesticated rabbits were truly meant to be predominantly indoor pets. Exposing them to living in a hutch outdoors, or worse a cage outdoors, is without a doubt sure to decrease their life span, in addition to being relatively in-humane. 
Rabbit Health Tip #9
No Tap Water- We at Lovely Bunny's use Sterile water as an extra precaution, however following taking your rabbit home, bottled or filtered water is sufficient. Tap water has minerals and bacteria that can potentially pose risk to bunnies, and being proactive is always the best approach.
Rabbit Health Tip #10
Keeping a Clean Environment- Make sure to always follow the proper instructions of cleaning your bunnies area and that you stick to the recommended procedures. For an outlined overview of proper cleaning of your bunny's litter box, pen, and cage please visit our Bunny Care Page for in depth details.

Having a Bunny Medical Kit if something accidentally happens to your bunny and the Veterinarian is currently unavailable, is a luxury that having a bunny affords unlike other pets. Most issues or conditions are diagnosable based off reading the "Pet Bunny Health and What to Watch Out for" Article, and contacting us as a resource until your Primary Vet Opens or is available. Having the items listed in the Medical Kit will also give you the ability to remedy certain situations where a Vet trip is not necessary, like accidentally clipping a nail too short or your bunny getting a minor scrape accidentally. Lovely Bunny's has thrived on being proactive, both on our end prior to a bunny going to their Forever Home, along with equipping the new owners with the knowledge and tools to continue to keep their new baby bun happy, healthy, and safe. In light of continuing to enhance bunny safety and care, it does seem relevant to be equipped with these items at all times.

***Prior to taking action on anything that will require Veterinary attention at some point, please reach out to us immediately and prior to taking any action.
  1.  Critical Care Herbivore (hand-feeding food). Measure 1.75 Tbsp dry product per pound of rabbit body weight, then mix one part dry product with two parts warm water to reach a consistency appropriate for syringe feeding. Divide this mixture over 4-6 feedings per day. 
  2. A syringe for hand feeding.
  3. Simethicone to be given if your rabbit is not eating. Give 1mL once, may give a second dose 30 minutes later if needed. 
  4. Artificial tears for eye irritation. Apply one drop to eye as needed.
  5. Styptic powder (such as Kwik-Stop) to clot a bleeding toenail.
  6. Sterile gauze for wound compresses.
  7. Sterile saline for wound cleansing.
  8. A rectal thermometer. 
  9. Towels for wrapping and transport.

Since the creation of time Pet Foods for all animals- dogs, cats, and small animals has not faced the most proper regulations. There was even an issue where a company was able to implant that their food is made with real chicken. The part that was conveniently left out was it was made with real Chicken grinded up feet. When commercialized and you hear made with real chicken, you automatically think Chicken Meat, which is very deceptive. The treat market is that deceptive on steroids. There is no pre-approval necessary to send products to market, and it is fine to carry out as long as the company says they have followed these guide lines, while cognizant that no fact check is involved. Click READ MORE to see the guidelines and the enforcement behind them.
Bunny Pictured Still Available!!!
​Click Here To See All Of Our Available Bunnies
The Guidelines are as follows:
      1.   An appropriate product name;
      2.  The species of pet(s) for which the product is intended;
      3.  A quantity statement for the amount of food in the package or container;
      4.  A guaranteed analysis;
      5.  A list of all ingredients in the product;
      6.  A statement of nutritional adequacy, if required;
      7.  Feeding directions, if required; and,
      8. Name and address of the manufacturer or distributor
Why is this specifically terrible for bunnies? The reason is because the pet industry classifies them in the same category as Chinchillas, Hamsters, and small pets. Bunnies are not even the same species, they are not Rodents and not Gerbils. they are unique to the rest of the the small pet category in they are Lagamorphs. For risk of avoiding a Law Suit a prominent company reached out to us to promote one of their treats that was fantastic from the front view. It actually had a Bunny on it and seemed very healthy to the human perception in that it included Yogurt in the name. Yogurt is generally a low fat very healthy snack for human beings. Looking at the ingredients, there was a very high sugar content. So before we continued with the promotion we needed to receive an indication that there was not any sugar added outside of the listed amount. The CEO could not sign off on verifying that creating a little bit of a Red Flag. The same pattern carries out with small animal chew toy packets. One out of the 8 Chew Toys that come with the $20 dollar packet is actually safe for your pet bunny. This eliminates the new bunny owner to even do their own due diligence. Transparency is key to keeping your bunny safe, if you want transparency go with a Regular Bunny Bonding Bag Kit we now have the ability to actually prove not only are you saving money, but you are ensuring that your bunny has all natural healthy treats, All Natural Safe Wood Chews, and non-risk, no food coloring toys. This will instill your bunny getting to the Vegetable Phase in a manner where they are in top health and continue that pattern. This results in them staying in the correct category weight wise and do not end up with diabetes at 5 years old because of false advertising.

Here are just some sample reviews available to the public on the internet:
imnotajeanpocket
I bought these Yogurt Drops and as I was looking them up they don't seem to be good for Rabbits at all. What should I do? See if I can return them (They're not used) or give it very sparingly on special occasions?
jmfcrtpy
I'd avoid Vitakraft altogether. They make some pretty awful stuff, and I wish they weren't allowed to market it as rabbit food because it's terrible for them
Okumo4488
If I could somehow shut down both Kaytee and Vitakraft so they could never again sell a single thing to pet parents, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

***This is just a snippet of a Plethora of real reviews from real people (non-customers) who love their bunnies pulled off the internet... They are unfortunately not wrong. The good news is education can alter this trajectory, and that is what we are all about! Happy Bunnies, Happy Customers :)

Picture
I was on Linked In the other day and an article came across my feed from one of my Animal Activist connections that talked about "Laboratory Testing on Rabbits". Now as someone who considers themselves an expert in Holland Lops and a pretty well versed understanding of the bunny world in general, I was pretty baffled to see how vigorously the third most popular pet in the world was used for the most cruel type of lab testing there could possibly be. Additionally, I was surprised at the amount of bunny farms there are in the United States, roughly 5,000, used for Fur and Meat at a net profit ratio that is so low and unregulated that you could make more money literally taking a job at $15 dollars an hour minimum wage and make more money without torturing a pet. I quickly want to add, lets make no mistake, bunnies in this day and age should be used to be domesticated pets to make lives better, and for that reason only. So how can that be, and why would it occur then? The answer is it funnels to Multi-Billion Dollar Industries which are Pharma and Fashion. These industries have lawyers by the hundreds and will crush any non-profit group that stands in their way, it is unfortunately the honest truth and the way capitalism works. How can it can be countered? To this point it has not, and will continue to not, but if we can put a face of the owner of the pet bunny like the little girl who's parents got her a pet bunny pictured above, maybe the narrative can be altered as a point of starting by humanizing bunnies into the category of cats and dogs. To give you a breakdown of what does occur to these bunnies, and I use bunnies as often as possible because the word rabbit in my opinion devalues them as how great of a pet they are and favors them as more consistent to a "Lab Rat". Click READ MORE below:
Lab Testing Facts:
-150,000 Bunnies are used on testing on a yearly basis
-Bunnies are chosen and preferred due to their docile nature and ability to easily handle
-They are mostly used to test toxicity rates on cosmetics and house hold products
-Majority of testing is done on their eyes, which have lead to ulcers, bleeding and worse outcomes.
-The list of companies to list is too long! Even Bleach is tested on them! I will not disclose specific companies but you can easily find the list by googling Peta and companies that experiment on bunnies
-The results mostly come out inconclusive because well they are Lagomorphs and transfer from a  bunny to a human is too big of a jump liability wise for a "Go Ahead" on a specific product.
So what does that leave us with? A whole bunch of tortured bunnies that could have been with families.
If you are a Director or higher at Pfizer, Celgene, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Procter and Gamble Etc. you are compensated with Restricted Stock Units, a yearly bonus, and a very large salary. How do I know this? I used to do retirement plans for certain employees there. The sliver of revenue put into Research and Development really can be adjusted by just over compensating every single Director and higher less and look for some alternative routes, which can be found! Every time someone puts a chemical in a bunnies eye I want the picture in this article to run through their mind, and if that does not change your sentiment on what your about to potentially put this bunny through then maybe humanity towards animals has just been lost all together. With that said, I will still continue to do our part in getting wonderful bunnies to wonderful families, and maybe there will come a day where bunnies will be banned from testing. They are a pet, they are not some random animal. Their intelligence level is baffling and their love is unyielding. No animal, especially a bunny deserves that.
