Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is one I know so many bonded bunny parents have wondered about and are terrified of: what happens to the bond when one bunny needs to be hospitalized and the pair has to be separated? In an ideal world, both bunnies in a bonded pair stay together for all vet visits and hospital stays. However, that is not always possible. This has happened to us a few times and I’m here to offer some hope and reassurance for all bonded pairs who need to be separated! We recently went through this with Kumo after a middle-of-the-night emergency, and I'm walking you through everything: the decisions we made, why we chose to leave Roo at home, what Roo was like without him, the whole reunion process when Kumo came home, and the steps we took to ensure they were able to be together again without any issues. If you have a bonded pair and this scenario terrifies you, this episode is for you. I hope it brings some comfort. Some join us in our little bunmom cafe!   IG: www.instagram.com/thebunmomlife | www.instagram.com/littleloppyroo YouTube: www.youtube.com/@TheBunmomLifePodcast Website: www.thebunmomlife.com Email: [email protected]

Hello Fluffle Fam! It's a Nibbles day! Just a short little story for you today, a little nibble of joy for your day 🐰 Today's nibble is about Kumo and his most recent discovery: a remarkably effective method of waking up bunparents when he has decided that breakfast simply cannot wait any longer. Involving a cord protector, a very innocent face, and zero remorse. When you have bunnies, you don't need an alarm clock. 😄🐰 IG: www.instagram.com/thebunmomlife | www.instagram.com/littleloppyroo YouTube: www.youtube.com/@TheBunmomLifePodcast Website: www.thebunmomlife.com Email: [email protected]

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today I'm taking you into a regular, ordinary day in my life as a bunmom to Roo and Kumo. And when I say ordinary, I mean no vet visit day, no health scares, no mega highs or lows. Just a regular beautiful day living with two very beloved bunnies. We'll be talking about the morning breakfast tent routine, the stacking cups, the playground rearranging, the mamarazzi moments, the evening floor pets, and everything in between. Grab your tea and tune in for this cozy episode!

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is entirely dedicated to bunny poop. The different types, what they might mean, everything you need to know. Our bunny's poop is one of the clearest windows into their health that we have. It can tell us things before other symptoms show up. It's like a daily health report delivered straight to our litterbox! We're covering the two types of rabbit droppings, what healthy poop looks like, what abnormal poop is telling us, and fun little facts like why rabbit poop is considered liquid gold in the gardening world. I also mention the Nesquik bunny. You'll understand when you listen. 😄🐰 Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoy this one!

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is dedicated to the question we get asked very often: "don't your bunnies poop everywhere?!" We're talking about why bunnies can be litter-trained, what makes it work, what can get in the way, and why the belief that bunnies poop everywhere is inaccurate. Grab your tea and let's dive into bunny poops together 😁   IG: www.instagram.com/thebunmomlife | www.instagram.com/littleloppyroo YouTube: www.youtube.com/@TheBunmomLifePodcast Website: www.thebunmomlife.com Email: [email protected]

Hello Fluffle Fam! It's a Nibbles day! Just a short little story for you today, a little nibble of joy for your day. Today's nibble is about our Queen Roo and the ways she likes to demand her pets and head massages. We hope this one makes you smile!    IG: www.instagram.com/thebunmomlife | www.instagram.com/littleloppyroo YouTube: www.youtube.com/@TheBunmomLifePodcast Website: www.thebunmomlife.com Email: [email protected]

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode came straight from a wonderful question sent in by someone in our Little Loppy Roo Instagram community: "why is it that we love hearing bunnies chew but can't stand it from humans?" What a brilliant question. I couldn't stop thinking about it so I went and did the research, and this episode is the result. We're talking misophonia, ASMR, prey animal safety cues, the parasympathetic nervous system, and why the sound of Roo and Kumo eating breakfast is basically free therapy. It's fun, it's fascinating, and it's for every bunny parent who has ever sat on the floor just listening to their bunnies chomp and felt completely at peace.  Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today’s episode is about the three very different relationships that our Queen Roo has had with each of her bunny companions. Every single one has been completely unique. Roo and Linus: soulmates, forever and ever. Roo and Timo: chaotic housemates who couldn't live with each other but couldn't quite live without each other either. And Roo and Kumo: the classic big sister and naggy little brother energy that is adorable to watch. Every bunny is different, every pairing is different, and this episode is a love letter to all three. Grab your tea!! Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!

Hello Fluffle Fam! Welcome back for part two of our bonding series! If you haven't listened to part one yet, go back and start there first! Today we're picking up with Roo and Kumo: this one is a completely different story from what you heard last week. We tried the traditional bonding method. It failed within five minutes. We had to throw out the rulebook, trust our instincts, and find an approach that barely existed anywhere online. And then just when we thought we'd figured it out, we made a single mistake that sent everything crashing down and we had to start all over again. We hope you find this one helpful!

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is all about how we bonded our bunnies (part 1)! Before we get into our own stories though, I'm covering everything you need to know first: should you even get your bunny a friend, what the bonding methods are and how they actually differ, and what you need to have in place before you even attempt it. And then we get into the story of Roo and Linus: our very first bonding experience that worked out more beautifully than we ever could have hoped. Plus, the story of Roo and Timo, and why and how this bond didn't come together the way we hoped. This is part one of two. Part two is coming next week and it'll be all about our third pairing - Roo & Kumo! Please note: always consult with a trusted exotic vet for advice specific to your bunny's individual needs!

Hello Fluffle Fam! It's a Nibbles day! Just a short little story for you today, a little nibble of joy for your day. Today I'm talking about whether Roo & Kumo share their food. The short answer? It depends. The longer answer involves Roo eating like a paper shredder, Kumo inhaling his pellets, them cleverly stealing from each other, and us having to actively intervene on both of their behalf at munchtimes. They love each other deeply. They do not always love sharing. Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is all about free-roaming: what it means, why we love it, and exactly how we made it work in our home. The space your bunny lives in is so important and I’ll dive into why it has such a huge impact on their physical and mental wellbeing. And then we're going through everything we did to bunny-proof our home - cables, gates, houseplants, baseboards, stair treads, rugs, and more. If you're thinking about free-roaming your bunnies or you're just getting started, I hope this one helps! 🐰 Please note: always consult with a trusted exotic vet for advice specific to your bunny's individual needs!

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is all about bunny nutrition. Specifically, what our bunnies eat on a daily basis and the recommended healthy diet for adult bunnies in general. We're covering: hay, fresh veggies, pellets, supplements and forage, treats, and water. I'm sharing what's worked for us and what we've learned along the way. Whether you're a new bunparent trying to figure it all out or an experienced one looking to learn something new, I hope this one is helpful! 🐰 Please note: always consult with a trusted exotic vet for advice specific to your bunny's individual needs!

Hello Fluffle Fam! People often are not aware of how unique and different every single bunny is from another. Today's episode is a loving tribute to the very specific, very individual, sometimes completely inexplicable things that my four bunnies do/did. From Roo's mysterious rug opinions and snow flops, to Kumo's upstairs zoomies detours and wiggly dances, to Linus kissing inanimate objects and Timo's obsession with foot snuggles - these are four completely distinct little souls and our stories will show that. This one made me laugh and it made my heart very full. I hope it does the same for you. 🐰 Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!

Hello Fluffle Fam! It's a Nibbles day, which means I have a short little story for you, just a nibble of joy for your day. Today I'm taking you back to the very beginning, to baby Roo's very first binkies and zoomies, just after she came home during COVID. I still see those little loppy ears flying so clearly in my memory. This one is short, sweet, and hopefully will make you smile. 🐰 Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!
