BUNNY OWNER MUST HAVES

 BUNNY OWNER MUST HAVES!

As a bunny owner, there are items that can really help you when it comes to taking care of your rabbits. In this blog post, we will share some of BUNdle's favorite owner must-haves when it comes to our buns. 

*This blog post will be updated frequently as bunny owners we are always discovering new must-haves!**

CLEANING SUPPLIES:

Here are some of our bun favorites when it comes to keeping our bunny spaces clean.   It is super important to keep their space clean. Rabbits do shed (some more than others) and we don't want them to ingest a lot of fur as it can cause a blockage and G.I stasis. So it's best to keep those floors clean!

• UPROOT
• uproot cleaning tool
  
• This tool helps gets the fur/hair off of your carpet, blankets, and furniture. 

• 
  CARPET RAKE
• Carpet Rake (broom and mini brush)
• If you have any pet that sheds a lot this tool is a must-have
• This will help get the fur off of your carpet, blankets, and furniture. Also, works wonders for loose hay that falls on the floor. 

• 
  SNAKE DRAIN CLAW
• snake drain claw
  
• If you find that your vacuum gets clogged this is definitely a must-have! This tool can get to those hard-to-reach places.
• When it comes to vacuuming up hay and fur, it can easily get trapped in your vacuum's hose.  At the end of the tool, there is a metal claw. Slide the snake drain into your hose and when you hit resistance pull up a little bit and open the claw and slide back down til you hit the clogged spot. Release the claw and pull up. 

• BUNNY SAFE CLEANER
• Pet stores will advertise so-called pet cleaners for litterboxes. These tend to contain chemicals, strongly scented, and cleaning solutions that are not rabbit safe. 
• The best and simplest solution is making your own. 
• You will need an empty spray bottle, white vinegar, and water. Fill the spray bottle with equal parts water and white vinegar. 
• This solution is safe if they ever lick a surface that you just cleaned. 
• Also works to spot clean any spots on the floor that they have peed on. 

• THE GREEN MACHINE:
  
• I didn't use the cleaner that came with it as the scent would be overwhelming on the buns respiratory system. I use an equal part of water and white vinegar. 
• This blew my mind! A carpet that my bonded pair has been on for almost a year looked brand new! 
• This has come in great handy for bonding as well. Buns do have accidents while bonding. Whether it be pee, territorial pooping, it happens. I was easily able to refresh the area so no one scent was over powering.

BUNNY PROOFING:

When it comes to owning a rabbit it is ESSENTIAL to bunny-proof everything. Even if you think that they can't get to a spot, you would be surprised by the small spots that they can fit into.  They love the spicy hay aka wires!

• MUST PROTECT YOUR WIRES! 
• Power strip protector
• This is a way to protect power strips
• flat cord protectors
• cord protectors for wall
• 
  Of course, you can find a variety of cord protectors on Amazon, but for the tubing kind, I suggest checking the wires frequently as buns love the spicy hay aka WIRES!
• clear nic grids
• Can find a variety of sizes on amazon. These work for protecting your walls,  behind furniture, and for keeping them away from spots you don't want them to access.
• x pen
  
• If your bun is not free-roam or contained to a room these are a must-have. Note some buns can be jumpers so a tall pen is better to get. If you have a bonded pair you should have at least two pens to give them adequate space. (Freeroam time is extremely beneficial to a rabbit's health)
