My first rabbit was a gift. His name was Henry. I was 30 years old and had no idea that one small animal was about to quietly rearrange everything.

He taught me patience. He taught me that gentleness is not weakness. He taught me the kind of presence that only comes from sitting still with a creature that trusts you completely. And when I lost him, I didn't step back. I went further in.

I started volunteering with rescues in San Diego, then Orange County. Cleaning cages. Sitting with animals that came in matted and scared and unsure whether people were safe. I taught myself to groom because nobody was going to teach me and I needed to know. I kept showing up until I was good at it. Then I kept going.

What I kept noticing was the gap. Owners who genuinely loved their animals had no idea about diet, handling, housing, or what it actually costs when something goes wrong and you can't find a vet who understands rabbit physiology. That's not their fault. Rabbits get sold as easy pets and handed off without a real education attached. Lux Bunny exists to close that gap. One rabbit, one owner at a time.
