March is National Pet Vaccination Month! Is it time for your rabbit’s annual RHDV2 vaccine? If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, get your rabbit vaccinated at House Rabbit Society! We’re continuing to offer our monthly low-cost RHDV2 vaccination clinics at our facility in Richmond, California.

The third week of March is always National Pet Pet Poison Prevention Week. While this most likely brings to mind dogs eating human medication off a countertop or consuming a dangerous amount of chocolate, there are several things rabbit guardians should be aware of that are toxic to rabbits.

Your support makes a difference in the lives of so many rabbits and the people who love them. Thanks to your generosity, we accomplished so much in 2024, and with your help, we can do even more to help rabbits in 2025!

We at House Rabbit Society are thrilled that PETCO has recommitted to an adoption-only policy for rabbits and has ceased the sale of rabbits at select locations. This decision is a positive step toward ensuring better outcomes for all rabbits. We are grateful for the dedicated work of so many rabbit rescue groups across the country to make this decision possible.

House Rabbit Society is hiring! Our team is looking to bring on a Volunteer and Guest Services Manager to help facilitate a world class guest and volunteer experience at our facility.

House Rabbit Society is hitting the road this summer! We’ll be visiting several of our local animal shelters, with the goal to help raise awareness about adopting from shelters as well as provide educational materials to people who may not otherwise have access to them.

Come see celebrate how dynamic and diverse the citizens and business of Richmond California are! The second Annual Rich City Day is just around the corner and House Rabbit Society is happy to be part of the action. This event will be hosted at Armistice Brewing Company on Saturday, July 13.

The concept of foraging has been gaining popularity and interest among pet parents, and for great reason. When supported in healthy and meaningful ways, foraging is a beneficial and instinctual activity for all small animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats, hamsters, and so on.

Research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found interacting with house plants can help lower a person’s blood pressure, calm their nervous system, and promote a general feeling of well-being. Who doesn’t want that? In recent years, the popularity of growing plants at home has soared. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in London has reported a 10-15% year-on-year increase across the industry in houseplants since 2013, driven largely due to the doubling of foliage plant sales. These are those decorative, colorful plants with funky, interesting leaves that you’ve no doubt seen when scrolling through your social media feeds.

As their human, I would do anything for my bunnies. This includes rabbit proofing anything remotely chewable … no matter how unattractive it may look to my friends and family. But just because something needs to be protected from a chew-happy bunny does not mean it has to be an ugly, bulky option; and I have learned sometimes all it takes is a good regimen of distraction techniques.

“Please eat. Please … You need to eat.”

Humans who live with rabbits quickly learn the four most important signs of rabbit health – eating, pooping, drinking, and peeing.

I have a confession. I have a soft spot for “naughty” bunnies. I gravitate toward the bunnies whom others fear. At the local shelter where I volunteer, I was asked if I would foster a bunny who bites. Enter: Oreo.
