Our History

AeroBunny LLC was founded by Lili & Andy Holup in Sunnyvale, California. Lili & Andy are bunny foster parents as well as parents to a lovely Lhasa Apso and a spritely dwarf hamster. They founded this company after fostering a very energetic and destructive bunny who absolutely adored chewing on everything.

Lili & Andy frequently visited pet stores disappointed with their bunny and small pet toy and treat selections. Purchasing $5 balls of wicker felt mundane and lackluster, and it seemed as though there was a gap in the industry that needed to be filled.

On October 31st at 4AM after waking up from being kicked in the face by her Lhasa Apso and not being able to fall back asleep, Lili had the crazy idea of creating a company dedicated to new and innovative toys for small pets.

Almost every toy marketed as natural seemed to be the same shape, so why not create something new and exciting for both the pet owner and the pet?

Being an aerospace engineering major, there was no doubt in Lili’s mind that she could merge her two greatest passions in this world: aerospace and pets, and create a company around it. She sought to make her very own 100% edible and environmentally conscious aerospace-themed toys and treat company and named it AeroBunny.

Andy was very supportive of the idea and knew that this was exactly what Lili needed to revitalize her passions during the pandemic times. On that same day, she got to work developing hay toys and treats, ending up with four unique products by the end of the day. She tested her products with her current foster bunny and they were a hit! Quite surprisingly- and frankly, annoyingly, they were a hit with the dog too.

A little over 24 hours after her initial idea and product creation, the company documentations were submitted to the state of California for review in becoming an LLC. Yes, Lili & Andy are very intense people, but it is with that intensity and dedication that they hope to provide quality handmade toys and treats to families across the world.


“There will never be a pet who thinks they’ve had enough toys and treats.”
