Well, hello there!
Welcome to our little rabbitry, nestled just twenty minutes south of our namesake Seattle in Washington state. From 2018 to 2024, we specialized in raising floppy-eared, blue-eyed Holland Lops in a wide array of colors and equally captivating temperaments. Our baby bunnies were raised indoors, handled daily, and introduced early to children, pets, and everyday household noises, making them well-adjusted companions for any lifestyle.
​
Our philosophy has always been that there are no shortcuts to healthy or happy pets. Every bunny here was treated like family from day one... housed in spacious, solid-floored indoor pens, never wire cages. We fed an organic diet of homegrown greens, high-quality pellets, farm-fresh hay, preventative probiotics, and the occasional homemade treat (recipies linked). Most of our babies were even litter trained before leaving for their new homes.
​
We feel incredibly blessed to have shared the joy of bunnies with amazing families across Alaska, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Tennessee, and even parts of Canada. Staying in touch with many of our bunny parents to this day is such a special part of what we do!
Let's start at the beginning...
My name is Skye, and I operate Emerald City Rabbitry with the support of my extended family and close friends. I’ve been known as the neighborhood bunny lady for years, and I love seeing the way animals bring joy to people of all ages and abilities.
​
My love for bunnies goes all the way back to childhood, but things really took off as a teen when I rescued a spunky Netherland Dwarf and Lionhead mixed-breed bun named Missy Mae. She sparked something in me and lived a happy eight years by my side. Inspired by a fellow breeder and completely smitten by the Holland Lop breed, I started this venture. The rest, as they say, is history.
Where we are today:
As life does what life does, I’ve since retired from breeding - but my connection to the bunny world is far from over. A few years back, I began offering nail trimming for local bunny owners who needed a hand (or just a little confidence). That soon grew into teaching others how to trim safely and calmly, which then expanded into full grooming services for both short and long-haired breeds. Before long, I officially opened those services to the public and I’m so thankful for the trust my clients place in me. It's become such a meaningful way to stay involved with the community and support responsible rabbit care.
Bunny boarding was a natural next step. I’ve always offered it to my bunny buyers, but now I welcome all local rabbit owners in need of a trusted sitter. Whether you're headed out of town or just need help for a few days, your bun stays in a clean, loving, bunny-savvy home. I know firsthand how hard it is to find quality rabbit boarding in the Seattle area... it’s why I started offering it in the first place.
These days, I focus on providing these services to help bunny owners feel confident and supported, whether they’re brand new to rabbits or seasoned pros. I’m grateful to be part of this special little community. Of course, I’ve always made it a point to take back any of my babies whose homes didn’t work out. I believe that bringing a bunny into the world comes with responsibility, and that support shouldn’t end after the sale.
One more thing...
At Emerald City Rabbitry, we remain committed to our bunnies long after they leave our home. We’ve always believed in raising only what we can personally hand-raise with care, and in doing so with intention, love, and quality above all else.

Please feel free to reach out if you’re interested in our services, need support, or just want to talk bunnies. And while we don’t publicly advertise it, I’m always open to mentoring others in rabbit care or helping where I can with rescues.
