Cleaning Rabbit Dishes

We must clean our rabbit bowels about every week to keep all the gross stuff growing in our salad dishes.

The rabbit society recommends to use ceramic, stainless steel, or any bowl/plate that doesn't scratch. Fungus can grow in any scratches in bowls, making cleaning a bigger task.

Good ways to clean your dishes and help you rabbit stay healthy:

1. Soak dishes in hot water
2. Clean the dishes like you would with any other dishes of yours
3. Stick into the dishwasher

I know that my mom doesn't like it when I use the kitchen sink to clean my rabbit dishes. My solution was, to wash them in the bathroom sink.

If you have any times where you aren't allowed to use "human" stuff with "rabbit" stuff, you can find another sink or container to sanitize your dishes for your bunny!

Some places to wash those rabbit bowls are:

• Outside
• Washroom
• Basement
• Bucket

To Keep Your Rabbit Quiet At Night

As you all know, this blog is full of ideas. If you sleep early, or have a shifted sleep cycle with your rabbit, then you may think you have a "nocturnal rabbit."

The video above was provided from Stormy Rabbits. She had great tips, so I asked her for permission to add this to my blog.

And now for additional ideas:

1. Give them a night snack inside the cage--a full belly sometimes does the trick
2. Clicker train before you put them in their cage or before you sleep--perhaps they'll get tired
3. Turn off all the lights of where you rabbit's cage is--it's night time!
4. Add a comfy place or a hide out to the cage--like a bunny bed

I use these ideas at dusk since my rabbits always crave for more playtime even if I give them the whole day to play.

Tiny Tip Tuesday: Creative Boxes

Whenever I go get boxes at Costco for my rabbits, I can never find the best boxes. They can be too sturdy to cut holes into, have uneven bottoms, and just are not the right size. So, I have a solution for that now!!

With any boxes that you have, lean the "weird box" on the regular one. And there you are.

You might think it looks cluttered, but my rabbits liked the new style. Hopefully your rabbits aren't going to attempt to hop onto the slanted surface on top, though.

This is suppose to be a hide out!

Don't lookie!!

Some privacy? *flick flick
