         What do YOU think no bunny person should be without?  What is the most important thing in your bunny supplies?  Let’s have a fun thread! .

         

        My pick is NIC cubes!  They’re just so handy, and cheap!  You can block off cords, or add a shelf to an existing cage, or make an addition to a bun’s habitat.. and you can even use them as intended and make storage out of them.. to store more bunny items, of course! .

         

        What’s your pick?!

          For bunny proofing, aquarium tubing for cords
          Vinegar is up there too

          What about bunny fun? Concrete forms are probably the most fun “toy” I’ve bought for them!

              I would say NIC cubes for bunny proofing or a maze haven (or similar thing made of boxes) for sleeping in and destroying.

                WHere do you get those concrete forms, and what do they look like?  I might have to find one! 
                 

                And definitely agreed on the vinegar!!!

                Sarita; Definitely.  I really feel for the people on the board without a good rabbit vet nearby!

                  I love how bunny people find things for our buns with the intent of destroying it.  .  I do that with boxes. “Hmm, Zeus would love to shred this..”.

                    I guess mine is the same as Elrohwen’s,
                    Carboard boxes. This includes maze havens and cottontail cottages.

                    If I didn’t have those my house would be destroyed and I’d have some angry bunnies. They love their castles.

                      I just realized that my answer included something to keep them from destroying my things (NIC cubes) and something for them to destroy. I guess that’s the secret of a happy bunny household right there! Haha

                        Concrete forms are these- http://www.cmcconstructionservices.com/products/shep-tube-concrete-forms/
                        You can get them at your hardware store, all different diameters for 5-10 bucks. Its a thicker cardboard, so both my bunnies really like to go at it I have this elaborate plan to make like, a monster burrow with some cardboard box dens once they are both bonded hah.

                            Idk if I go without a litterbox. I hated having to clean a cage every week and it would be really hard if the bun is free-range. I don’t think it would be the happiest scenario for the bun tho

                              Hmmm… VEGGIES AND HAY is my #1!
                              2nd is a good vet & toys, this IS a fun thread!
                              I think bunny slaves should know eachother alot. So these threads about what your fave _____.
                              And question threads are especially fun.

                                Craisins… if you want my fun answer

                                But importance/serious answer would be :

                                A good place for bun to live (not some tiny pet store cage!)
                                Vet
                                Good hay
                                Good pellets

                                          Good pet insurance for that excellent vet. My brood has all but broken my bank at this point and I can already see serious expense this year on the way.

                                          But more than anything…lots of love and time set aside for them. I find each of my bunnies (probably because they aren’t bonded) really seem to want individual time with me and you can see the ones waiting their turn getting this green glint in their eyes…lol.

                                            I have a list of a couple of things. Hay would be at the top of my list I want my babies to stay really healthy. Vinegar would be at the top as well and Willow Wicker baskets. My bunny kamdyn can not go without it. Also straw mats sunshine loves them a hole lot!

                                                  Simethicone. If you have a bunny long enough, they’re bound to have a gas episode. I always have a bottle in the rabbit room.

                                                  And for fun: A Cottontail Cottage.

                                                      I’m thinking about what I pack in the hurricane bag if we need to evacuate quickly, since I have a separate bag for her. (Can’t pack a vet or that’d be first.)
                                                      Litter pan
                                                      Litter
                                                      Water dish
                                                      bottled water if no tap around.
                                                      bag of hay
                                                      pellets
                                                      greens
                                                      a food dish or container for food.
                                                      carrier

                                                      For fun: treat jar to rattle filled with healthy treat cookies. Her fun, that is.

                                                                Oh, and a pair of nail clippers you can feel comfortable with. Doesn’t matter what your tool is as long as you feel confident with it. I love my little cat nail clippers!
