🐭 Meet Remy!

Our tiny friend Remy came in today and totally stole our hearts! 🧡
Remy was a superstar – calm, curious, and full of personality. Rats make amazing pets with so much love to give (and they’re very smart too – just ask Remy 😉).

Regular check-ups help keep even the smallest pets happy and healthy. If your furry, scaly, or feathery friend needs a visit, give us a call or book and register online!

🐰💚 continues!
Today we’re answering another common question in line with this year’s theme: “Happy, Hoppy Homes” 🏡✨

🔍 Q: What goes into my rabbits’ housing?

Creating the perfect bunny home means making sure all their physical and emotional needs are met 🐇💕

✅ Hiding places — Rabbits are prey animals, so they need safe spots to hide and feel secure. Provide at least one hide per rabbit, with two entrances/exits

✅ Soft, safe bedding — Use dust-free hay or rabbit-safe bedding to keep them cosy and comfy

✅ Toilet area — Set up a separate toilet zone using newspaper and/or paper-based, non-expanding litter (keep it well away from their sleeping area!)

✅ Feeding hay — Provide unlimited good-quality feeding hay in racks or separate areas from bedding

✅ Fresh water — Always make sure your bunnies have clean water available at all times

Making these small changes can make a huge difference in your rabbit’s daily life and happiness! 🐾💚

🌟 Rabbit Awareness Week is here! 🌟

This year’s theme is “Happy, Hoppy Homes” 🏡🐰 — and it’s all about making sure bunnies have the safe, spacious housing they need to thrive. 💚

The campaign, led by the Rabbit Awareness Action Group (RAAG), is shining a light on what proper indoor and outdoor housing really looks like for rabbits’ welfare.

Throughout the week, we’ll be answering some of your most frequently asked questions to help you give your rabbits the best life possible! 🐾

🔍 Today’s question is:
""How big should my rabbits’ housing be?""

✅ Your rabbits’ housing should always be connected to a larger space where they can hop, stretch, and explore — both day and night! Whether it’s a bunny-proofed room indoors or a secure outdoor run, freedom to move is essential 🐇

Minimum housing size: at least 2ft high x 2ft wide x 6ft long

Minimum run size: at least 3ft high x 6ft wide x 10ft long

But the more space, the better! Rabbits are active animals who love to run, jump, and binky just like they would in the wild 🌿

☀️ Warmer weather may be lovely for humans, but for short-nosed breeds of dog, it can prove to be a challenging and uncomfortable time. This is because warmer weather can trigger problems with their breathing, caused by BOAS, which stands for Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome.

🩺 In our latest blog post, Dr Javier Berron DVM, GPCert(SAS), MRCVS breaks down what BOAS is, the symptoms to watch out for and how we assess for BOAS.
