Rowan, one of our therapy bunnies, and her litter of three that were born at the end of May.
The fawn colored ones are Sol and Sam and the white with grey spots is Sky. Rowan is just slightly bigger than the babies! She is white and brownish grey. Lots of zoomies and binkies in the livestream this week! Thank you to Savannah for capturing these moments.
Our Mission
Breadbox’s mission is to guide our community in learning to be better stewards of the land. We draw on compassion and humbleness in making decisions for our relationship to Earth and the interconnected ecosystems we live and breathe in. We are passionate about researching sustainable living practices for urban and suburban communities.
We are passionate about educating others about rabbit care, health, and happiness. Our goal is to share the joy and healing rabbits have brought to our family while promoting responsible pet ownership and a deeper understanding of how humans and animals can benefit each other.
Robin started this project out of a desire to learn about her own relationship to nature. Our “homestead collective” has grown to many voices, many hands and hearts, but the guiding principles have stayed the same. Join us as we learn together.
Our Rabbits
Breadbox Rabbitry specializes both in breeding Netherland Dwarfs and rescuing rabbits of all breeds. Our goal in breeding Netherland Dwarf rabbits is to create indoor pets with the confidence to express their big personalities. Our breeding program adheres to the “standard of perfection” set forth by ARBA and the ANDRC. We focus on both the genetic health and continued excellence of the Netherland Dwarf breed. Many of our rabbits are adopted as companion animals and therapy pets. Read more about their temperament on our blog.

Immune and Gut Forage Blend supports rabbits with minor health concerns such as indigestion, cold symptoms, or coat and eye issues. We utilize this blend for both young and adult rabbits.
This blend is a wonderful multivitamin for baby bunnies to support their immune system development. It can provide a boost in healing for a rabbit who is showing minor cold symptoms (with the guidance of a vet) such as sneezing, watery eyes, or a sniffly nose. It helps settle the gut when introducing new foods or when there is slight indigestion. It can even be used as a daily preventative for rabbits who need extra gut support if they often experience motility problems or loose stool.
This blend is especially helpful during molting time as it supports the gut during the challenging process of your rabbit ingesting more fur and having to simultaneously produce a new coat. We have also noticed rabbits with watery or goopy eyes improve while on this blend because of the immune boosting properties.
As an organization that needs clean and safe remedies that work WITH a rabbit's body and natural diet, these herbs have been life changing for our rabbits over the past 5 years.
