Lil Buns Rabbitry

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always had a love for animals, especially rabbits. I remember always wanting a bunny of my own and dreaming about having rabbits to care for, love, and spend my time with. What started as a childhood dream eventually grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined.

When I was just six years old, I finally got my first rabbit. Around that same time, my next-door neighbor had several rabbits that had gotten loose. One day, I came across a little rabbit and managed to catch her. Instead of letting her go, I took her in and gave her a safe, loving home. She became incredibly special to me, and having her made my love for rabbits grow even stronger.

Unfortunately, as life sometimes does, things got difficult. Due to circumstances at the time, I eventually had to find her another home. Although it was hard to let her go, my love for animals never went away. If anything, that experience made me realize just how much animals meant to me and how much I wanted them to be a part of my future.

As I got older, I found more opportunities to explore that passion. Through school, I became more involved in learning about animals, animal care, and agriculture. I developed an interest in FFA, where I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge and experience working with animals. I also began working with animals outside of school, including opportunities at animal sanctuaries. Being able to work hands-on with different species, learn about their behaviors, understand their needs, and help care for animals made me realize I truly loved it.

Eventually, rabbits found their way back into my life. I got another bunny, and before I knew it, one rabbit turned into several. My interest quickly grew beyond simply owning rabbits. I became fascinated with the different breeds, their characteristics, genetics, colors, coat types, body structures, and breed standards. I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could.

That curiosity eventually led me into rabbit breeding. What started as simply wanting to have rabbits of my own turned into a passion for raising both pet-quality and show-quality rabbits. I began learning more about pedigrees, bloodlines, breeding goals, confirmation, coat quality, and the importance of understanding each breed. I developed a particular appreciation for preserving and improving breeds while maintaining healthy, well-cared-for rabbits.

Today, what once started as a little girl's dream has grown into Lil Buns Rabbitry. I now dedicate my time to raising rabbits, learning about different breeds, working toward my breeding goals, and finding wonderful homes for the rabbits I raise. I love every part of it, from watching newborn kits grow and develop their personalities to learning about genetics, working with pedigreed bloodlines, preparing rabbits for shows, and seeing them leave for their new homes.

One of the most rewarding parts is knowing that I get to share the same love for rabbits that started when I was just a little girl. Every rabbit has its own personality, characteristics, and place in my heart. Whether a rabbit is being raised as a companion, a pet, or a potential show rabbit, I believe each one deserves proper care, attention, and the opportunity to thrive.

I am constantly learning, growing, and finding new ways to improve my knowledge and my rabbitry. I know I still have so much to learn, but that is one of the things I love most about working with animals. There is always something new to discover, and there is always room to grow.

Looking back, I never would have imagined that the little girl who dreamed of having rabbits would one day have a rabbitry of her own. What started with one little bunny eventually became a huge part of my life and something I genuinely look forward to every day.

Lil Buns Rabbitry isn't just something I do; it's grown from a childhood dream into a passion. And I couldn't be happier to share that passion with all of you.
