All rabbits deserve a nice bunny playpen or a bunny condo. This doesn't mean we are locking our rabbits in a place where there is limited space to play. Setting up a rabbit playpen means adding corners for bunnies where they can eat, play, relax, or potty. If you are a bunny owner or about to adopt a bunny, it makes you feel excited to create a place for your bunny by visualizing the perfect corner and design for it. Every bunny parent has been there because they want the best for their rabbits but often don't know where and how to set up an indoor rabbit playpen.   Where is the Best Corner to Set Up an Indoor Rabbit Playpen? The best corner to set up a bunny playpen is an area where the sunlight reaches. Most playpens are set up beside windows in the living room so that when the sun shines, it can light the bunny corners. Indoor bunnies should experience playing under the sun in the morning, even inside the house. Vitamin D is essential for their bones and teeth. Placing the playpen near the window is an advantage whether your bunny chooses to play in it or not. If it decides to play in it while the sun shines in the morning, then good; if not, it's not a problem. We must always go for the advantage when caring for a bunny.   What's Inside a Bunny Playpen? Your bunny's playpen should have: Drinking bottle/bowl Hay feeder Litter box with hay Cardboard box (hiding place) Toys   Playpen for Indoor Rabbits Some pets' fences have connectors that you can use to connect all the square fences. Your bunny might chew the connectors if it's not entertained with other toys and wants to chew, so it's better to use cable ties because they're subtle and not big enough, which your bunny can't notice easily. For the flooring of the playpen, you can use a flat rug so it will be comfortable for your bunny. Choose a flat rug that's a bit larger than the full size of the playpen so your rabbit cannot access the edges. Investing in cleaning tools like a vacuum to easily clean their corners/playpens is also suitable.   Final Thoughts on the Best Corner for an Indoor Rabbit Playpen We hope you've learned something from this blog and that you'll apply it if you're considering adopting a bunny. If you're considering adopting a bunny, there's no better place to put their playpen than in the corner of your living room near the window. A corner in the living room is the best place because it's more likely to remain uncluttered and out of the way, giving your bunny plenty of space to play.   Disclaimer: We are not professional veterinarians or medical doctors.

If you're a parent to a rabbit, you know that the next big event in your life will be your little one's birthday party. You've probably already started planning it, but if you haven't, don't worry—we're here to help! We've put together 5 bunny birthday party ideas for you. Whether your rabbit is into picnics or exciting activities, we have something that will fit its personality and make your bunny feel special on its birthday.   Parties for Bunnies But here's the thing: parties for rabbits are different from other pet animals. They can't eat just anything and can't be exposed to certain materials or ingredients. Even though it's a party, the materials and ingredients must be safe and premium so bunny parents will not overthink after the party. The food and toys at the party should be a hundred percent safe for your bunny.   5 Fun Bunny Birthday Party Ideas DIY Favorite Biscuit Party Idea: Your rabbit loves treats, and this kind of party should always be on the list of ideas. You will make biscuits from healthy ingredients. You can cut the biscuits into different shapes to make them look more exciting for your bunny. Although you are making lots of these on your bun's birthday doesn't mean you're gonna give it all at once. Remember that treats should be provided in a limited amount. You can still give biscuit treats the next day, even after the party. Put it in a non-toxic container so it will last.   Treats Hunting Party Treasure hunting is a famous game for people who love team building. You can also do that for your rabbit's birthday party! While this party idea is fun, it promotes exercise and stimulation for your bunny. Now, this will take effort and creativity. All you need are cardboard boxes, flexible tunnels, and treats. You can use the treat recipe we provided, or you can also use fruits. Idea: Set up the materials in a wide playpen so the treats hunting will have limited space for easy access. Get the cardboard boxes, then cut a U-shaped door on each side. Connect the tunnels to the U-shaped you cut on the boxes. Ensure that the rooms are big enough so your bunny can move around while looking for treats. You can set the playpen there if you have a wide area outside your house.   Bond Day Picnic If your bunny loves outdoor activities, you can go on a picnic! What a cute and exciting party it is! Idea: It is basically like when two people go on a picnic, they set up a picnic blanket. You should bring food and water for your bunny and also some of its toys. This is a bond day for you and your bunny while celebrating its special day. You can even take cute photos, leading us to the next birthday party idea.   Photo Album with Bunny Pictures This idea is perfect if you are more of a sentimental bunny mom! Idea: Bunny parents have photos of their rabbits on their phones because it's convenient and good too. If you haven't created a physical photo folder for your bunny, this is the time you should make one. This isn't necessarily a party but a birthday gift for your lovely bunny. You can include pictures of your bunny when it was still a baby or the first time you saw it at the shelter. This way, your treasured memories with your bunny while growing up is always safe. Plus, you can always add pictures to it whenever you've captured a cute and memorable photo of your bunny. Make it more crafty if you choose to!   DIY Bunny Birthday Cake A carrot cake will do! Cakes are always at birthday parties, but kids and adults are still excited! Your bunny's going to love it too! Idea: You don't have to make a giant cake, remember this is your bun's birthday party. Make a portion enough for a treat. A carrot cake is perfect for this party. Here's how you do it: Ingredients: 40 grams of shredded carrot, 14 grams of parsley leaves, 1/4 cup of mashed banana, 1 leaf of Butterhead or Romaine lettuce, ¼ cup of oats. Steps: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Put the shredded carrot, parsley leaves, and Butterhead or Romaine lettuce in the blender. Blend well. Put the blended ingredients in a circle dough cutter. Press the dough properly inside the cutter to form a small cake. Bake it at 325°F for 15 minutes. Let it cool. Lastly, put the mashed banana on top then it's ready to be served.   Final Thoughts on Bunny Birthday Party Ideas There you have it! We gave you the 5 birthday party ideas you can do for your bunny.

Having a pet is rewarding for many people. Some choose bunnies and some choose dogs. You may be thinking, are there any differences between the lives of these pet owners? They both have a furry companion, but do they experience the same struggles and behavioral complaints of caring for their pets? We'll find out!   Choosing a Breed: Rabbit Owner vs. Dog Owner A bunny mom with a more relaxed lifestyle would choose a breed that is easy and good for beginners, like the Flemish giant, Polish rabbit, or the Himalayan. If she wants a small bunny, she could have a Netherland Dwarf, Dwarf Hotot, or a Holland Lop. A dog mom also chooses the right breed of pet for her. She'll consider adopting a Golden Retriever or an Australian Shepherd if she wants a playful dog. Choosing the right breed of pet for each mom is essential because they should align it to the lifestyle they have and the area where they live. Let's talk about these moms' daily routines with their lovely pets.   Potty-training A bunny owner has to buy litter boxes for her indoor bunnies and then litter-train them. She begins potty-training her bunny at 3-4 months. When her bunny already knows how to use a litter box, she cleans the litter box daily so her bunny is safe and clean too. A dog owner trains her dog to potty by guiding it outside to poop or pee. A puppy can start its potty training at 3 months also. When her dog learns how to poop out, she will include it in her daily routine to go outside whenever the dog goes to the door.   Playtime/Physical Activities Both pets need exercise and playtime, but there is a difference between their routines in this aspect. A bunny owner sets a day for her bunny to free roam in the backyard or outside the house. It can be a Free-roam Friday if she wants to. This is the day where the bun can play, do the zoomies in a wider space, or dig a hole. Some bunny moms provide tunnels for their rabbits so they can be safe even if they're outside. (Because we never know whether the neighbor's cat is watching, right?) A dog owner needs to walk her pet more often. Dogs love walking outside on a leash. Of course, a dog mom must take a plastic bag because her dog loves to poop outside. While calm dogs are safe with collars, you can't do that to bunnies because their spine might break.   Feeding Routine Rabbits and dogs are different when it comes to their diet. A bunny owner provides daily fresh hay for her bunny, the cut grass that bunnies eat. The hay has fiber which is good to help the bunny digest its food properly and keep its teeth from growing too long. She also gives her bunny a limited amount of pellets, fresh vegetables, and a small amount of fruits daily. A dog owner feeds her dog twice a day. There are different meals that she can provide to her dog. There are kibbles, canned food, and freshly cooked dog food. She feeds her dog during breakfast and dinner. These pets have different diets, but both deserve a treat or snack after an exhausting activity.   Grooming routine Both moms can groom their pets if trained or learned to do it. If they can't, they go to a pet groomer. While it is more possible for a bunny mom to groom her bunny, it can be a challenging task for a dog mom–depending on the size and her dog's coat.   Benefits of Having a Pet Reduces stress Gives joy Increases productivity Encourages exercise A reason to continue life in general Provides mental support   Final Thoughts on Rabbit Owner vs. Dog Owner We hope you had fun learning about the different lives of bunny and dog owners. It can be hard to choose a pet, but once you do, it's worth it! There are some similarities between taking care of a rabbit and a dog—but there are also some differences. Whether you choose a bunny or a dog, we're sure that your pet will be happy to have found such an accommodating home!
