๐Ÿ’— The Full Circle of Care: Healing Together, Giving Forward ๐Ÿซถ


Like many of you, we were saddened by the recent loss of three cherished bunny friends: Lennon the Bunny and Miffy & Mikka. Each of them brought a special kind of joy, comfort, and gentle magic into the world โ€” the kind that lingers long after they've gone.

In moments like these, weโ€™re reminded how important it is to allow space for grief โ€” to name it, sit with it, and be supported through it.

If youโ€™re navigating a similar journey, we invite you to read our recent blog post: The Full Circle of Care. Itโ€™s a reflection on how we process loss and how the love continues even when our little ones are no longer beside us. It also includes some resources for navigating grief.

And as we move through this period of sorrow, we also turn our gaze toward collective acts of compassionโ€ฆ

We know that a balanced food is an important part of a pet's diet but did you know that it also supports their overall health and well-being? We used to feed our bunnies pellets in a ceramic bowl until we discovered that they are happier and more engaged when we encourage their natural foraging instincts by scatter feeding on a mat or using an enrichment toy like stacking cups or a wobble toy. More engaged meal feeding has other benefits like slowing down how much they have in their mouth at...
