February 14 is a day to celebrate all the people you love in your life! While some people send Valentine’s Day cards, others bake pink-frosted desserts.
Our pet bunnies don’t have to be left out of the heart-filled festivities!
Here’s how I’ve celebrated with my white lionhead bun, Baby.
Send bunny themed Valentine’s Day cards
Canva is a great design app you can use to design your own Valentine’s Day cards to print at home or at a store like Staples. They have templates already laid out for you to edit. You can also start your own card design from scratch.
Here are six free cards we designed featuring Baby and Pepper. Feel free to download and use!
Decorate your home with bunny and Valentine’s Day items
By this time of year, many stores have a mix of Valentine’s Day and early Easter products.
You can stock up on both or wait until the seasons are over so you can swipe up all the sales!
My favorite spot is Dollar Tree. I buy a bunch of things for home decorations that I can also use as photo props.
Have a Valentine’s Day photoshoot with your bunny
For most holidays and seasons, I try to do a mini photoshoot with Baby. He has a limited attention span, so I usually set everything up ahead of time.
Head to Pinterest and rabbit Facebook groups for ideas.
I’ll typically set up a cheap backdrop and throw in a few props for pizzazz!
Baby’s Photoshoot
We found some great props at the Dollar Tree this year. IT only took us about 15 minutes to set up and 15 minutes to take all the photos we need. It’s critical that you put your bunny first and make sure they’re comfortable during the experience.
Give your bunny a Valentine’s Day gift
Baby’s gotcha day is February 16, so he typically gets lots of gifts in February!
I typically get Baby his favorite treats, like papaya treats, and some fun extras, like Small Pet Select Herbal mixes.
Whatever snacks you choose, just make sure the treats are safe for rabbits.
Besides food, I also like to give Baby physical gifts.
Here are some ideas I’ve gotten for Baby over the years:
- A Bunny Castle: I have the old version from Small Pet Select, but their new Hideout Castle seems more versatile for building sections. It also seems more renter friendly, since it’s collapsible. I’ve also heard good things about the Tokihut brand castles. There are also a number of sellers on Etsy that have cool castle designs.
- Hanging Toys: These are fun and practical. Baby spends his nights in a playpen so he doesn’t destroy the house while I’m sleeping. Toys like this are perfect for putting at the door so he has something to bite when he sees me in the morning and acts like a prisoner about to be released!
- Home Improvement Pieces: I sometimes give Baby’s home base an update. For example, I recently bought a wooden hay rack that fits our “aesthetic” better and seems to create less of a mess for me to vacuum.
Spend quality time together
Nothing says “love” like spending some time with your bunny!
This could be an hour of petting and snuggling, teaching your bunny some new tricks, or just watching a movie together.
Just show your bunny you love them!
