Our mission:
For our store - To make healthy, innovative, and items for small animals that are hard to find more accessible in Australia. For our grooming service - To assist pet owners in the grooming needs of their short-haired rabbit in a holistic way. We can share our tips for caring for your rabbit(s) as well as knowledge on rabbit nutrition and wellbeing. We can help you set up a comfortable

environment for your rabbit to be a part of your household so you can enjoy your rabbit's antics and love them even more. About the owner:
LeLe is an experienced groomer for short-haired rabbits. With experience caring for rabbits daily needs, post-operative care, and grooming needs too. Supporting animal refuges is very important so alongside donating a portion of sales from the website, LeLe also provides free grooming to various shelters large and boutique. As an owner of 3 rabbits of various breeds, temperaments, and health, LeLe can appreciate the time and dedication needed to groom a rabbit. She has a knack for handling even the most wriggliest and nippiest of rabbits and the patience to ensure every rabbit is sufficiently groomed to minimise the amount of fur that can be consumed by the rabbit - a great side effect of regular grooming is the home will be noticeably less fluffy too. Along with her experience and knowledge, LeLe also conducts thorough research through credible sources including consulting with rabbit specialists to further her understanding of rabbits and their health and wellbeing needs. Prior to establishing Fluffy Time aka Fluffy Time Buns, LeLe has had an extensive career in government and insurance.

This rescue in Melbourne has helped so many bunnies piggies and cats, many with extensive health issues.
If you can help please do so. This rescue is very worthwhile. I say this from personal experience.
I also groom their long haired bunnies bro bono too.

A year ago today I was contacted about who was found living on the streets all alone with a seriously dislocated leg that she had been struggling with in pain for many weeks. Thanks to our beautiful supporters help with donations we were able to take her in and she is now living her best bun life as a permanent family member with the wonderful .and.co

Running my own rescue has put a huge financial strain on me over the last 4 years but at the end of each day it's always worth it to know that together team BFFR has and will hopefully continue to be able to make such a positive difference to the gorgeous souls we get to help.

Unfortunately our doors will remain closed to any new intakes until I am able to pay off all our current vet accounts so if you find you are in a position to help contribute a donation towards them, I would love nothing more that to get back to saying yes to some of the many emails I receive each day for animals needing my help.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Va**ng and smoking with bunnies present? Please don’t.

Timelapse videos are back.
Today is Lola at our first groom in April.

11/08/2024

Yes it’s Monday, so best quick zoom in on my cutie friends and forget what day it is😋
One of these is not like the others? Do you see her? No you don’t? That’s because Honey wouldn’t stop moving about for a photo. 😝

10/08/2024

Good morning. Today’s featured friends are all duos, most since they were wee babies. A big welcome to my news friends Chunky and Cheeky.

Sumo’s last spa-w day with me, I never knew it would be. My cutey grump bunny god son. I’ll miss you.

09/08/2024

You all made it ❣️ Happy weekend from my fluffy friends. Don’t all my friends like fresh and ready to clean my scent off themselves?😋
Floki’s pawrents made sure he would feel fresh and comfortable before they jetted off to their honeymoon.

08/08/2024

Bonjour mon ami. Sometimes my bunny friends bring their comfort friend with them to their spa-w appointment. Pepper always brings Froggy along.

07/08/2024

Good morning. Please enjoy the very photogenic bunny friends who have each mastered posing.

06/08/2024

My fancy little friends after their July defluffing. I love how much you all love and care for your bunnies, regardless of any ailments and illnesses, you all strive to give each of them their best life. You restore my faith in humanity. I used to work in insurance fraud which deteriorated that faith a lot.

05/08/2024

Have you been watching the Olympics? I’m sure some of my bunny friends have been. All my friends got into the spirit of France with a pretty beret and/stripy tie.

Sweet Sharon, my dear old friends. I’m thankful I was given the opportunity to help you feel more comfortable before we had to say goodbye. Where you are now, there is no more cancer and no more pain. Binky free my friend.

My sweet little bunny god son passed way very suddenly last week. I’d been procrastinating from posting pics from grooming because I knew that I’d come across those from his last groom… and I wasn’t ready.
Sumo was small only in his size, his personality was gigantic. He loved passionately, zoomed with loud honks, hu**ed his wifey Ollie every opportunity he got so she knew he still loved her. Sumo was the first desexed bunny to bless me with a torrent of p*e, and also give me cuddles and kisses and really enjoyed every spa-w day after the first. There was never a bad photo of you, only decisions on which photo to use. You always made me laugh out loud with your expressions. Your cuteness knew no bounds.
I will miss you very much my little boy. I’ll miss being your chin rest while I massaged your cute little face, and giving you many kisses on your ridiculously cute mouf. I’ll miss the softness of your fur and cuddling you. Thank you for loving me Sumo, I will forever love you too.

13/07/2024

Bon dimanche🇫🇷 (happy Sunday)
I hope everyone is enjoying our French themed post spa-w treatment pics. My friends were quite unperturbed by the beret, it was the glasses and tie that some weren’t happy about😋

Puffin is a little cashmere girl bunny looking for her forever home. Please enquire with The Rabbit Sanctuary . Puffin and her fellow long-haired friends rescued and awaiting homes with The Rabbit Sanctuary are groomed pro bono to help them feel comfy while waiting to be adopted.

Appy weekend from my lapin mon ami.
A big welcome to my new friends Bean & Nemo (a very devoted husbund) and Nimbus who reminds me of my late Patty-Cake.

11/07/2024

Bonjour 🇫🇷 from my tre’ chic lapin friends🤭 Daisy looked so funny I HAD to include her too. I groomed her brofur Rewben only. I tackled and jiggled Daisy.

11/07/2024

Ooo lala… what have we been up to after camping? We are all celebrating the Olympics being held in France this year.

17/06/2024

Happy Tuesday. It finally feels like winter to me because the big tree in my yard has only just begun losing its leaves, in fact it still has many branches of green leaves. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Some bunnies like Sumo and Ollie have had a big moult already, but Suzi and Coco are still rocking their usual thin coat.
A big welcome to Nebula and Suki who had their first spa-w day with me recently♥️

How do I tell if my bunny is scratching their ears a lot - when is it of concern? Below is information from my own experience and knowledge garnered from asking many pointed questions of vets. I am NOT A VET. I share this info in hopes of preparing other bunny owners better, and as a reminder for myself if I should come across this in the future and my mind is too busy to remember.

Bunnies scratch their ears as part of their grooming process as will as when it’s itchy. But when is that itchiness a possible sign of something more sinister?

Allow me to try to clarify something,
“always scratching”, and “usually scratching” are different.
Always scratching is scratching for long stretches of time, not just often. For example, instead of a quick 2-5 seconds of scratching, bunny is scratching longer, then shakes their head, returns to scratching the ear again, and shaking the head again. It is a markedly different behaviour than the innocent scratch.

What can this be a sign of? An ear infection. Bunny would likely still be eating and pooping as per their normal selves. It isn’t until bunny is in such “great pain” that they reduce their eating leading to the slowing of their gut movements aka G.I. Stasis.

Best to bunny to your rabbit savvy vet and “get a swab and culture” done to determine what if any, bacterial infection is causing the issue.

You could of course chance it with waiting for symptoms to be more obvious to yourself, not test and opt good a general antibiotic that is usually prescribed and see if it works, but…

some bacterial infections are aggressive, it only took my Patty-Cake about 7 days for her head to tilt upside down all while taking an ineffective antibiotic. In that short time my chubby bunny lost an immense amount of muscle mass, and her body became so incredibly weak despite me being a very proactive carer and feeding her every few hours…
I hope this helps everyone.

Happy Monday, let’s all hit the snooze button and sleep in… said no body after having a bunny in their life.

15/06/2024

Every bunny is wearing the same style flannel shirt, yes they each look so unique. Who else thinks they’ll be able to identify their bunny in a lineup because their bunny’s personality is so unique?
A big welcome to little Mabel.

14/06/2024

Day dream a little with me and imagine a what scary stories my bunny friends may share around the camp fire… I have a sneaking suspicion that their hoomins will feature heavily.

13/06/2024

Wee! Look at the earsies of my friends here. So cute. Can you spot the 3 friends who are actually long-haired bunnies (obviously shortened post groom).

12/06/2024

Some bunnies totally rocked the flannel shirts - look at the boys Nibbles and Buttercup showing off their chest furs😆
Dress-ups aren’t mandatory at all - in fact, if my new bunny friend seems nervous then we don’t dress up. It’s all about making the grooming experience as positive as “possible”, some bunnies are gonna thump and be grumpy at me regardless so😆
A big welcome to my new friends Apollo and Galaxy. They are currently fostering Honey & Brayden who have been awaiting their forever home for years. Honey & Brayden are fun loving bunnies who really need the word spread about them needing a family’s of their own. They are adoptable from Beary Furry Forever Rescue.

Bloopers:
I think there might have been some rough play here between Elf and Teddy…

10/01/2024

I’m taking a leaf from a fellow bunny groomer and publishing the criterion for bunnies that will be accepted for grooming.

This criteria exists to help protect everyone’s bunnies including my own, and bunnies who I groom pro-bono.

My regular monthly & bi-monthly clients won’t need to provide proof of vaccination as I am very familiar with their bunnies and know they’re all vaccinated. Clients whom I visit less often and new clients will be asked to show proof of vaccination though💗

Thank you all for your understanding and acceptance.

Bloopers:
Lola had a grand ole time with Elf. She got the opportunity to explore the Christmas tree and she was not going to let one little Elf get in her way.

09/01/2024

Bloopers:
So Elf gave Cassie special treatment last year; giving her a back massage, and even bringing her a present too.

09/01/2024

Bloopers:
Ninja didn’t want to take pics with Elf. From turning her back to me, to nudging Elf over and checking to see if he had a pulse…

08/01/2024

Bloopers:
I think that Bella and Elf had a very special connection during the photo shoot. Doesn’t it look like it?

08/01/2024

Bloopers:
Creamy says: “this is what I think of your Christmas costumes”.

07/01/2024

Bloopers:
This is gentle giant Winnie. She was much confused with there being 2 elves; 1 as expected smelt like the stinky groomer lady, but the other smelt of her beloved hooms. Guess whose Elf Winnie knocked over?😂

Psst… it’s Fathers’ Day next Sunday. Stuck on what to get him? My bunny friends have some gift suggestions..

One with music - just makes this Timelapse an all that more entertaining.😋

Timelapse videos are back. Today is Lola at our first groom in April.

Bloopers: Abby sweetpea. She didn’t get to her age being told what to do😉

Exhibit A: One of the reasons I provide mobile bunny grooming. Because car travel can be very stressful. My girls quiver like leaves in a tree in a windy day.

PART 2 of 2 If you know an animal is being neglected, abused, or mistreated, don’t delay in reporting to the RSPCA. Know that it’s easier for you to cancel a report made, than to ask for action to be fast-tracked. There’s only 30-odd RSPCA inspectors for all of VIC - that’s rural, regional, and metro. They don’t just visit homes and take animals to the vets, they also make the submissions to court, attend the hearings. With over 10-thousand reports of cruelty every year, each officer has a caseload no other type of claims manager is expected to manage. This is why, don’t delay in reporting. Here’s a link about Inspectors at RSPCA. https://rspcavic.org/inspectors/ Contact them and ask how you can help increase the number of Inspectors.

(Video should fit now) Warning: not a happy post. Please skip if you want. PART 1 of 2 I’ve been sitting in this one for few months. It’s not often that I post about horrible conditions that I come across. I usually don’t post about it becauseI I try to work with the humans behind the conditions to see if they’re willing, and able to improve things for the bunny.

Tim Tam is my timelapse model this week. He has stunning eyes and he’s a great model too.

Winnie is my timelapse model this week. She’s a sweet not-so-little baby Californian bunny.

This week’s timelapse model is Nejo. He is a very chilled boy and loves to eat while being groomed.

It’s Monday afternoon! Please enjoy this timelapse of Vi being groomed - she’s very active.

Happy Monday afternoon everyone. Scout is our timelapse model this week. Scout is a spectacularly fluffy bunny, no matter if it’s hot hot summer or cold winter, she’s always sporting her thick coat proudly.

Was contacted by Jessie, @resilient_bunny_treats for some further to help a newborn bunny handed into her work. So several of my Bunny friends’ furs has been donated this week. The baby bunny has been named Jelly. To follow jellies story please check out @thelittlegangs

Lumi is my timelapse model this week. Watch how chilled she is and how she just lets me brush her tooshie.

Bear is my timelapse model this week. I’ve only groomed Bear a few times. I remember it was a showdown of who had the fastest reflexes at our first meeting; Bear was sure that I couldn’t contain her on the table and took every opportunity to make a run for it. Look at her now - barely moved, just enjoyed the pampering.

Handsome boy Koby is my Timelapse model this week. I went to where him and his brother were being bonded and boarded to groom them. He was so happy to see me - a familiar face. I felt the love straight away.🥰 If you’re looking to get your bunnies bonded, contact @TheLittleGangs or @ResilientBunnyTreats - Burwood VIC

Don’t worry, be-eee happy 😊 Binky is my Timelapse model this week. While in bonding-camp @TheLittlesGang , Binky got defluffed. That’s right - I come to you wherever you are.
