About Pet Epicure

I have written about Pet Epicure in the past but when it comes to this cosy little pet boutique (actually more than that), I have so much to write about it but just do not know where to start. The people at Pet Epicure are very passionate with what they do for the welfare of animals. Pet Epicure is mostly a cat/pet boarding facility but one will find many cats being put up for adoption as well. They are very kind hearted and can never turn down a cat (any cat for the matter). Most of what I learned about responsible pet ownership and breeding comes from Pet Epicure. They have inspired me to promote neutering to all my pet Holland Lop buyers. Pet Epicure carries a wide range of pet products including those for small animals. I would like to thank everyone at Pet Epicure for carrying TinyCritterz’ 1kg Timothy Hay and I hope rabbit owners in that area will be able to have access to good Timothy Hay!

About Perniagaan Jumbo

Perniagaan Jumbo has been around for almost 30 years. Nestled in the middle of the Kelana Jaya housing area, this friendly pet shop is famous among pet lovers in the surrounding neighborhood. This is the pet shop that I first learned about Hamsters 24 years ago (when I was only 7 years old). Being an animal lover, I spent most of my weekends coming to this shop and sometimes assisting in its daily operations just for fun. I always find pleasure in chatting with both Uncle Cheah & his wife. Since three years ago, the business has  been passed on and now operated by close relatives and Perniagaan Jumbo is as welcoming as before. I am always happy spending time in this pet shop and each visit will last more than an hour. It brings back a lot of wonderful childhood memories. Back then, Kelana Jaya has not been so developed and we did not even have the Giant Hypermarket. Through the years, Perniagaan Jumbo stands the test of time and has earned a place in the hearts of those in the neighbourhood. I am so happy that Mr. Cheah agreed to carry TinyCritterz’ 1kg Timothy Hay at his shop so that it is easily accessible to all rabbit lovers in the neighbourhood.  Below is the location based on Google Maps:-

Guess who's back?

Digit says HELLO!

If I Could Tell The World Just One Thing It Would Be

” If I could tell the world just one thing It would be….”

*Karma*What Goes Around Comes Around*Every Dog Has Its Day*

Whatever you call it, good things will come our way one fine day. So the rabbit show season has started all around the USA as Spring starts to emerge. Spring and Winter are 2 seasons that I would love to experience in this lifetime but that is besides the point of this post. After so many years of following the show circuit, I realized many things and if I am ever in the position to advice newbies in the hobby, there are a couple of key points that I would like to put across. And they are:

1. Identify the STYLE that you LIKE

I have written this before and I am sure you might have noticed that every successful rabbit breeder regardless of the breed he/she works with, have a distinctive style to call their own. Take Holland Lop breeders for instance, some place more emphasis on the crown and others on massive head. Just the same as our taste for certain food, everyone has different preferences. Same goes with rabbits. If you find yourself drawn to a particular trait and although you do not see breeders working on that trait winning all the time, take heart and be bold to work with that trait. You shall never know that one day, a judge may notice it.

2. Work with a breeder you BELIEVE IN

It is indeed a competition and we all know at any given day, given rabbit and given judge, someone may reign as the winner. Some keep on winning because of consistency in quality, no doubt in that. But there will come a point in time, another breeder may get lucky to produce a worthy winner. We are all playing a game of chance here and to a certain extent that we are playing God breeding these rabbits, we cannot accurately predict genetics and thus, at the right time, a champ will emerge in the barn and glory is upon us! Really, work with a breeder that you BELIEVE IN and he/she do not necessarily be a consistent winner. The glorious day will come!

3. Be Patient!

There is no shortcuts in life and nothing comes easy. Yes, you can buy winning stocks to start but of course you need to pay hefty prices for them. But also bearing in mind that expensive does not always equates to quality. The point really is be patient. Good things come to those who wait. I believe this is a point that has been mentioned far too many times. Patience is indeed a virtue!

It’s Been A While Part 2

I am sure some of you have been wondering what happen to all the long articles and stories from Tru-Luv Rabbitry. Where are all the cute baby bunny photos? And all sorts of questions. It’s has indeed been a very long time since I last sat down here to really write an interesting piece. I am afraid that I will be disappointing you once more. ROFL…

The fact is, I really do not have anything interesting to write about lately. I have had my “HIGH” in convention and nothing will be able to top that anytime soon. I have been busy with other commitments and priorities in life. I guess that is what happen when bunny is not 100% of one’s life. There’s the family, the day job and many more that gets in the way during the course of a day.

There are a few kits that I am pretty excited about and they are always cute at that age of course. But it all has been pretty good I believe.

I am also happy to have a couple of vets that I love working together with to solve certain issues. Nothing makes me happier to share and discuss with my vets the course of action to take on certain things. And I love sharing my experience and knowledge with them whenever they call me and ask about bunnies. It feels good being able to share and help someone else along the way. I am surprised that some solutions that I suggest does not even have to be rabbit related! ROFL…

Anyway, it has been a great weekend and I hope everyone will have a good week ahead! And don’t forget to get your supplies from TinyCritterz.com. We have been working hard to bring you the conveniences and please make full use of the services!

No more belly dancing please!

Keeping The Herd Clean & Odourless!

“Rabbit have an offensive smell” is already a thinking of the past. Through the years and with good education/awareness, we have all learn how to keep “the stench” at bay. We now uses litter tray for our lovely pet bunny and that has helped a lot in terms of cleanliness in their husbandry.

All my rabbits are raised indoors and raising them the way I do, I am very particular with cleanliness. As you can see through most of the photos that I have posted, I like my rabbits to be “squeeky” clean! If they are partly white, I will make sure that there will not be any yellow stain on them. A clean rabbit will always be favourable on the show tables and that is what I would like to achieve as a Show Breeder as well.

In the past, just one (1) rabbit will produce “the stench” so strong and repulsive, poor bunny soon gets to the bottom of the priority list. I have quite a number of rabbits and they are all kept indoors. That only means one thing – they must be odourless!

How do I ensure my rabbits are clean and odourless?

My rabbits are kept in very clean environment and they hardly dirty their fur. But when they do, I turn to Natural Pet’s UltraCoat Dry Shampoo for Small Animals.

Natural Pet UltraCoat Dry Shampoo for Small Animal

It is pretty easy to use and the results are pretty remarkable. I would like to just take some time to show you how this product is used and how effective it is. I shall also use photos to illustrate the process – just 5 simple steps!

This is BEFORE (Some bunny's dirty bum)

Step 1: Brush lightly to loosen up the fur

Step 2: Apply Dry Shampoo

Step 3: Rub into soiled/damp fur

Step 4: Brush off powder gently

Step 5: Enjoy your bunny's beautiful bum and don't go sniffing his/her bum!!!

WHERE TO GET? – www.TinyCritterz.com of course! For just RM 25.

For more information about Natural Pet UltraCoat Dry Shampoo for Small Animal please read the brochure.

Now that I have taken care of the “external”, the next thing would be to get rid of the odour/odor. There are a few types of unpleasant odors namely mouth, body, urine and fecal. Is there just one product that can take care of all these? YES, and the answer is Natural Pet Deodorant Pellet for Small Animal. I have taken the time to test this product and found that it is very effective. I did a sampling testing with one of my rabbits and the result is marvellous!

A 20g bottle can last approximately two (2) weeks for just one (1) rabbit. It retails for RM 20 per bottle over at www.TinyCritterz.com.

Say What?

It is always nice to keep in touch with Tru-Luv rabbit owners. Every once in a while I receive very encouraging and happy messages from my buyers and adopters. I recently received one that brightens up my day and it reads:

“Baby is a joy!! We brag about her to anyone who would listen!! She’s a diva, picky about her fresh vege and has attitude but at the same time, she is perfectly toilet trained! Would come on command, would play n would snuggle with her head on my lap… Etc etc. Friends n family are amazed by her puppy likeness! Keep in touch!”

This is not the first time that I am told that a Tru-Luv rabbit is like a puppy. I was told by a few others that their Tru-Luv bunny will jump up the bed and snuggle up for the night. The best part is, they will still go back to their potty for business! Happiness is what they say it is, “PRICELESS”!

New Header

So how do you like our new Header Picture up there?

If you look closely, it is a mosaic of most (if not all) of Tru-Luv rabbits throughout the 5 years that I have raised Holland Lops. There has been some repetition in there as the picture is made up of more than 2000 small pieces. I have not kept 2000 rabbits in 5 years – ROFL!

This new header is to commemorate 5 years of Tru-Luv Rabbitry which falls on 18th June 2012. I really wish I could do something much more interesting on this wonderful day. We shall see when the time comes.

I realized that it has been a while since a good post has been written. That is life I guess as inspirations come and go. Some days are filled with words and other days we only have images on mind. Perhaps in our daily struggles and challenges, we might have lost sight of our objectives and goals. Or maybe time is not on our side to allow us to achieve those goals/objectives.

After visiting the convention at Indy, my views on things have changed. My priorities have definitely shifted a little. As much as Holland Lops are my passion, I find myself looking forward to seeing my dear friends again. Whenever I miss my friends, I would go through the video that I made or those photos taken during that trip.

It is sad sometimes that I feel that I do not belong here. The only thing that still inspires and makes me happy is knowing the fact that there are good bunny owners out there. The only few are those that I cherish most though we seldom meet up. It is really strange because we all live very near each other. I think we really need to have a hangout place for all rabbit owners. We should all come together to talk rabbits all day long – without any hidden agenda or intention.

The USA is so huge and even there is a show during the weekends, many people drive for hours just to come together to have fun.

Well, at least this is something to think about, for now…
