SORRY
I'M CLOSED

12/02/2022

Hello. I'm sorry, but due to my other Care business being very busy, I have had to make a decision that I can not take any pets in at this time. I just can't give your pets my full attention which is required when they board. I am gutted as I love having all my visitors. I'm not completely closing down. Just taking a short break.
I'll post again once ready.

And the summer madness begins. Had such a lovely pair of girls in this week. Play time in the large enclosure.

Just said goodbye to my first visitors of the year. Lovely little guineas but a little camera shy. Nice to have some pets back in after the last awful year.

The behaviours rabbits demonstrate are a result of their care.

If a rabbit only sits in a hutch all day, it is only because it is confined to a hutch.

If rabbits have nothing to stimulate them mentally, how can they prove they are intelligent?

How do you know rabbits are happy alone if they have never had a partner to snuggle with?

In order to change negative perceptions of rabbits, we must change our negative care and treatment of them.

These common misunderstandings – fuelled by the misinformation presented by pet shops and breeders – are the reasons why thousands of rabbits suffer often unaware by their owners.

What we may call a misunderstanding is a lifetime alone in a hutch for a rabbit.

All the time people have incorrect perceptions of rabbits, they will continue to care for them incorrectly.

So how can you make a positive change?

First, make sure to tick off the five welfare needs:

🐇 Diet – 85% quality hay, 10% greens, 5% pellets.
🐇 Housing – Minimum area of 4m x 2m x 1m tall.
🐇 Behaviour – Provide plenty of enrichment activities, including foraging and digging.
🐇 Companionship – They should live with another compatible neutered companion.
🐇 Health – Rabbits need regular health checks and vaccinations.

By proving your rabbits with the above, you will see a change in their behaviour. They will become more playful, affectionate, and live longer, happier lives.
