Rabbit Care & Product FAQs

Expert answers to help you and your bunny get the most out of Bunelio products.

Diet & Chew Toys

Why does my rabbit need Timothy hay chew toys?

A rabbit's teeth never stop growing. Our Timothy hay chew toys provide the essential roughage needed to naturally wear down their teeth, preventing painful dental overgrowth while also promoting a healthy digestive system to avoid GI Stasis.

Are your apple wood sticks treated with any chemicals or pesticides?

Absolutely not. All of our apple wood sticks and natural chews are 100% organic, untreated, and thoroughly washed and sun-dried. We never use artificial dyes, glues, or chemical treatments, making them completely safe for everyday chewing.

Can young bunnies (under 6 months) use your Timothy hay sticks?

Yes! While alfalfa hay is often recommended for growing bunnies, our Timothy hay sticks are a fantastic, healthy supplement for bunnies of all ages. They encourage healthy chewing habits early on without adding excess calcium to a young rabbit's diet.

How do your foraging toys help with destructive chewing?

Rabbits chew baseboards and furniture out of boredom. Our chew toys are designed to mimic natural foraging behaviors. By giving them a tasty, texture-rich alternative, it redirects their energy and keeps their minds stimulated and out of trouble.

Grooming & Stress-Free Care

How does the grooming swaddle wrap keep my rabbit calm?

Rabbits are prey animals and naturally panic when picked up or restrained. Our grooming swaddle provides gentle, evenly distributed pressure (similar to a weighted blanket), making them feel secure and grounded. This significantly reduces kicking and stress during nail trims or medication administration.

Are the LED nail clippers safe for dark-colored rabbit nails?

Yes, this is exactly what they are designed for. Dark nails make it incredibly hard to see the "quick" (the blood vessel). The built-in high-brightness LED illuminates the nail from underneath, clearly highlighting the safe cutting zone to prevent accidental bleeding.

How often should I trim my rabbit's nails?

For indoor rabbits, we recommend checking and trimming their nails every 4 to 6 weeks. Long nails can alter their posture, cause sore hocks, or snag on carpets. Regular, small trims using our LED clippers are better than infrequent, large cuts.

How do I clean the grooming swaddle after use?

The swaddle is fully machine washable. We recommend washing it on a gentle cycle with cold water and a pet-safe, unscented detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric and Velcro straps.

Habitat & Hydration

Does the automatic water dispenser prevent "wet chin"?

Yes. Traditional water bowls often leave rabbits with wet dewlaps or chins, which can lead to skin infections. Our automatic waterer is designed with a specialized dispensing mechanism and shallow basin that provides fresh water on demand while keeping their delicate facial fur dry.

Is the plastic used in your litter boxes and waterers chew-resistant and safe?

We strictly use BPA-free, non-toxic, and high-density PP plastic. While no plastic is 100% chew-proof if a rabbit is determined, our habitat accessories feature smooth, rounded edges that make it very difficult for a rabbit to get a grip to start chewing.

How do I train my rabbit to use your specific litter box?

Our litter boxes feature a grated design that keeps their paws clean. To train them, place the box in the corner they naturally choose to use. Put some of their soiled bedding and a handful of fresh Timothy hay directly into the box. Rabbits love to eat and potty at the same time, which encourages quick litter habits!

Does the hay feeder reduce hay waste and mess?

Absolutely. Rabbits are notorious for pulling out more hay than they eat and soiling it. Our hay feeders are designed with perfectly spaced grates that allow them to pull out just what they need, keeping the rest clean, dry, and off the floor.

Can the automatic water bowl be attached to any standard wire enclosure?

Yes, it comes with a universal secure-lock mechanism that easily screws onto most standard wire cages and exercise pens, preventing your bunny from tipping the bowl over and flooding their habitat.

General Rabbit Wellness

Do your products help prevent GI Stasis?

GI Stasis is a life-threatening condition caused by a lack of fiber and hydration. Our products are specifically curated to combat this: our Timothy hay toys encourage constant fiber intake, and our automatic waterers ensure they always have access to clean water to keep their digestive tract moving.

Are your products suitable for guinea pigs or chinchillas?

Yes! While designed with bunnies in mind, many of our products—especially the apple wood sticks, Timothy hay chews, and automatic water dispensers—are perfectly safe and highly beneficial for guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small herbivores.

How do I know if my rabbit is chewing enough?

A healthy rabbit should be chewing hay or wood toys almost constantly throughout the day. If you notice a decrease in appetite, drooling, or a change in the shape/size of their droppings, they may have dental issues and you should consult an exotic vet immediately.

What should I do if my rabbit ignores a new chew toy?

Rabbits can be stubborn! Try rubbing a tiny bit of banana or pure apple juice on the wood stick to entice them. You can also try wedging the Timothy hay sticks inside their daily hay feeder to make it a fun foraging challenge.
