🌿 Poppy’s Burrow — Today’s Little Moment of Calm

Image
  “Morning Greens & Mindful Moments” 🌸 A gentle update from our floppy-eared therapist 🌸 This morning, Poppy reminded me — again — that healing doesn’t always arrive in big, dramatic ways. Sometimes it’s soft ears. Slow munches. And the steady rhythm of a tiny bunny enjoying her greens. Today’s greens were a mix of green-leaf lettuce and kale (her new obsession). She approached her bowl with that delicate little hop she does, ears forward, nose twitching faster than my heartbeats. And as soon as she settled in, everything around me went quiet. There is something deeply grounding about watching a rabbit eat — the focus, the calm, the presence . Poppy doesn’t rush. She doesn’t worry about yesterday or tomorrow. She just exists in the moment… something I’m learning from her every single day. 🌱   Why Greens Matter Leafy greens aren’t just delicious for bunnies — they’re essential: ✔ Hydration support ✔ Natural fiber for digestion ✔ Gentle nutrients for gr...

🌿 A Quiet Morning With Poppy: Little Moments That Heal Big Feelings

Image
This morning in Poppy’s Burrow felt a little different — softer, slower, and exactly what my heart needed. Life has been heavy lately, and sometimes it feels like everything hits at once… sick pets, long nights, stress piling higher than I can breathe through. But today, in the middle of all that noise, Poppy offered me something I’ve been needing more than I realized: A moment of peace. A moment of grounding. A moment where things felt light again. I sat down on the floor with her greens, expecting her usual excited hops — but today she did something else. She eased herself into my lap, leaned her soft little head into my hand, and just… exhaled. And so did I. There’s something magical about the way animals know. They feel our storms before we even name them. They offer comfort without expecting anything back. They don’t try to fix us — they just sit with us while we heal. As she crunched away on her green leaf lettuce, I realized how much this tiny Holland Lop has a...

🌿 Poppy Medicine: The Healing Power of a Little Bunny

There are days when life feels heavy. Really heavy. Vet bills piling up, sick critters needing constant care, financial stress, emotional burnout, and a thousand little unknowns weighing on my chest. It feels like there’s always another emergency, another worry, another “what now?” waiting around the corner. And then there’s Poppy. My soft, quiet, steady little healer. This morning, I sat on the floor while she munched her greens — slow, delicate, intentional little bites — and something inside me finally loosened. Watching her nibble, listening to those tiny crunches, seeing her little nose wiggle so peacefully…it grounded me in a way I didn’t even know I needed. There’s something magical about rabbits. They don’t ask for much. They don’t expect perfection. They just exist , softly and honestly, reminding us to breathe. Poppy has become my tiny therapist in fur — calming my nerves, breaking up my anxiety, and giving me a reason to pause when everything around me...

  🌸🐰   Welcome to Poppy’s Burrow A tiny space full of softness, safety, and new beginnings. When you bring home a baby bunny, you don’t just set up an enclosure — you create a world. A world where they feel safe. A world where everything smells familiar. A world where soft blankets, cozy shadows, and gentle routine become the foundation of trust. For Poppy, that world is her burrow . Her little sanctuary. Her quiet corner of calm. Her place to exhale between hops, munches, and tiny adventures. Today, I want to share it with you. 🧺🐰   A Space Built for Comfort Poppy’s burrow lives inside her x-pen, tucked into a soft corner where the light hits gently in the morning. It’s made of: ✨ a low, cozy bed ✨ fleece blankets that hold soothing scents ✨ her little plush lamb ✨ the small cloth from her breeder that still smells like home ✨ hidey space for when she wants privacy ✨ a gentle, quiet atmosphere It’s everything a baby bunny needs ...

  There’s something magical about beginnings. Sometimes they’re loud and life-changing… and sometimes they come quietly, on soft paws, wrapped in lilac fur and gentle curiosity. This blog began the moment Poppy — our tiny Holland Lop doe — hopped into our lives. I didn’t know it then, but that first cuddle, that first hesitant sniff, that first delicate heartbeat pressed against my hand… it shifted something in me. It softened everything. And now, with this space, I want to share that softness with you. 🌿✨   Why This Blog Exists When Poppy came home, I fell deep into the world of bunny care — the true world of rabbit husbandry: the kind that’s gentle, ethical, informed, and rooted in respect. Not the outdated myths. Not the pet store misinformation. Just real, compassionate care. But I also wanted a place where rabbit education didn’t feel stressful or overwhelming. A place where: 🌸 learning is calming 🌿 information is trustworthy 🐰 sto...
