Handling Rabbits…
Rabbits are a prey species and feel most comfortable on the ground. In the wild the only time they would be picked up would be if they were about to become a predator’s dinner so we can forgive them for being uncomfortable with it - poor buns.
So when we need to examine their bottoms, cut nails, groom, give medicines or tend to any injuries, it’s important we handle rabbits in a way that won’t frighten or injure them. This means…
❌ No scruffing, No Trancing & NEVER lift them by their ears ❌
There is tons of information on how to correctly handle buns in our care booklet.
Does anyone have/sselling a microchip pet feeder please. Currently need one for our foster cats 🙏

🐇Rabbits vaccinations: Myxomatosis, RVHD1 and RVHD2. These vaccinations are very important wether your rabbit is indoors or outdoors as it is very easy for your pets to catch these often fatal diseases.
*Please note: some vets do a complete 3-in-1 vaccine others do it in up to 3 separate vaccines so it's important to check exactly what each vaccine is vaccinating against*
*Please note:

A rabbit cannot possibly be happy, lonely in a cage, with nothing to do, nowhere to explore, no other bunny to interact with. Just sitting there in a prison cell, except when the kids occasionally want to play. For a rabbit this kind of life is torture!
Think about the kind of education you are giving to your children. This is not how to teach them love and kindness towards animals.
This stock photo is a very sad picture which unfortunately reflects the reality and life of thousands of rabbits in the UK right now. 💔

It’s totally understandable as a rabbit owner to get things wrong from time to time.
But it is important for the welfare of the rabbit/s that we are constantly educating ourselves on how we can give them the very best lives that they deserve. (We recommend The Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund’s website as a great resource - https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk)
If people are giving welfare advice for rabbits they’re not doing it for their own benefit, they’re doing it to help rabbits. If you ever have any questions, don’t be afraid to reach out! We are all rabbit lovers here, and would be happy to help.
TO NOTE: Always get advice from a reputable source.

Here at Little house of bonding I have experience with all types of animals from fluffy rabbits right through to wriggly cockroaches! I am a huge animal lover and always have been since a small child when I got my first pet, a mouse! Through the years of pet ownership I came to realize that not everybody who owns pets has the experience/knowledge needed to care for them properly so love nothing more than to share as much information as possible and answer any questions to ensure all pets get the life they deserve to truly be happy, meaning owners get the most out of their furry friends. My goal is to help all owners meet the five welfare needs for their pets. Sometimes one of the most difficult needs to meet is the need to be housed with other animals, as bonding is not always a straight forward process. This is were I come in! Rabbits, Guinea pigs, chinchillas, mice and rats are my strength when it comes to bonding having done it so many times for my own pets as well as family and friends, however Degus and gerbils and ferrets are also possible to be bonded.
Five welfare needs:
need for a suitable environment.
need for a suitable diet.
need to be able to exhibit normal behavior patterns.
need to be housed with, or apart, from other animals.
need to be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease.
Aswell as bonding I offer short term pet boarding, indoor or outdoor accommodation available depending on the type of pet and what they are used to at home. Your pets are assured a loving family environment plus five star care and attention during their stay, we also have our own pets which you are more than welcome to meet! I do also offer a grooming service for all small animals which includes Claw clipping, brush, de-matting, hair trims for long haired guinea pigs and a bathing for pets which are safe to bath such as rats.
When you are packing your pets suitcase we ask you just to bring enough of their usual food to last their stay plus a little emergency back up! Vegetables, hay, bedding and toys etc will all be provided here.
(Although we encourage for small animals such as Hamsters/gerbils you bring the cage they are used to, this will make the stay less stressful for such sensitive little animals)
To book your pets holiday stay/Bonding session or for advice/more information please get in touch!
