Why Rabbit-Safe Design Matters

Did you know rabbits are especially sensitive creatures? Materials safe for cats and dogs aren’t necessarily safe for rabbits. For example, certain wood species, like cedar or pine, emit phenols which can cause your rabbit to develop serious health problems with long-term exposure.

Working closely with a rabbit-savvy exotic pet vet, our furniture designs and specifications have been officially reviewed and approved by Oregon's longest-standing rabbit-savvy vet, Dr. Mark Burgess, DVM.

We believe bunnies deserve the best, and that's what we aim to deliver!

We invested in researching materials/finishes safe for rabbits and appropriate for making long lasting accident-proof furniture. After years of extensive research and development, we chose premium materials/finishes that are also eco-friendly, unlike common ones that can potentially cause your bunny harm:

  • The base material we use is the highest quality Baltic birch plywood made with formaldehyde-free soy-based technology (that is LEED & CARB compliant).
  • The exterior is finished using a FSC certified hard wax oil composed of a natural, yet durable, blend of vegetable oils that's low in VOC's, food-safe, suitable for human baby toys, and ultimately safe for our rabbit babies.
  • The interior is laminated with a Greengaurd Certified and LEED compliant material that is waterproof, wipeable, and hygienic for the health of your bunnies. It also provides adequate traction underfoot, important for furry feet.
  • The metal hay feeder and front metal screen are finished with a non-toxic powdercoat finish.
It's no small task creating designs that consider all the various needs of different house buns out there, while looking great, being ethically built, and with a sustainable supply chain.

Even if it meant higher profits, we refuse to offer products that we wouldn't feel comfortable using with our own bunnies. 

Our furniture is a unique investment that finally allows you to live in harmony with your bunny, saves you time, and will last. Responsible rabbit parents know that bunnies are a 10-year commitment, so I designed our unique furniture with that in mind.
