Nibbles is here to help offer a safe haven to rodents and rabbits while they wait to find their special forever humans. All our rabbits are neutered and vaccinated prior to re-homing. All prospective adopters will be home-checked and Nibbles offers back up for life - this means if you can no longer keep a pet adopted from Nibbles you MUST return them to us.

We’re excited to share a new part of our Rabbit Care Hub — Recommended Retailers 🛒💛

One of our goals at Nibbles is to make rabbit care feel clearer and more accessible for everyday guardians. With so many unsuitable products still being sold in the pet trade, it can be hard to know where to start when looking for housing, enrichment, diet, or health essentials.

To help, we’re creating an easy-to-navigate space where guardians can quickly find welfare-friendly, ethical retailers offering products that genuinely support their rabbits’ wellbeing.

✨ We’re not sponsored or paid by any companies.
Every recommendation will be based on real experience — from us and from the wonderful guardians who follow our work.

And that’s where we’d love your help…

➡️ Do you have a favourite ethical retailer you trust for rabbit-safe housing, forage, enrichment, or other essentials?

➡️ Are you a welfare-focused small business who would like to be featured?

Drop your recommendations in the comments or send us a message.

Together, we can build a resource that helps every rabbit guardian find the right products to keep their buns happy, hoppy, and healthy. 💛🐰

It’s been a bit of a challenging end to the week here at Nibbles. On Wednesday night we had a surprise snowfall, and by Thursday morning the lane was completely blocked. It stayed that way until Saturday morning, leaving me snowed in at the rescue and fully focused on making sure the buns had everything they needed.

As you can imagine, that meant a lot of admin had to be abandoned in favour of keeping everyone safe, warm and cared for. And to add to the fun, the little pocket of time I did manage to set aside for admin was quickly interrupted by a power cut.

All of this has left me very behind with messages, emails and general admin — and I’m doing my best to scrabble through it all this week.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. Social media might be a bit quieter for the next few days while I catch up, but the buns are all absolutely fine — and I’ll get back to everyone as soon as I can. 💚

📸 Behind the scenes at Nibbles… trying to photograph rabbits! 😅🐰

We’ve been taking new photos of some of our pairs and groups for social media this week, and honestly… they always look adorable, but getting a good shot is another story!

Trying to get two (or three!) rabbits to look the same way at the same time is basically an extreme sport. Someone’s always blurry, mid-hop, or deciding that now is the perfect moment to turn around and show us their bum.

So, we thought we’d turn this into something fun…
Show us your best rabbit photos!
Cute, chaotic, blurry, majestic — all of them are welcome in the comments. Let’s fill this post with bun joy 💚

💚 Thank you for saving Nibbles — and why pledges still matter 💚

Because of the incredible support from our Facebook community, we are no longer facing closure at the end of December. Your monthly pledges have given Nibbles the stability we desperately needed, and we are truly, genuinely grateful. You’ve kept the doors open, and you’ve kept hope alive.

But while we’re no longer closing, we’re also not fully open. Not yet.

The photo here is our rodent cabin — the space we are determined to bring back to life. We had no option but to close it back in June 2023, and since then rodents across South West Wales have been left without any specialist rescue support for over two years.

If our monthly pledges continue to grow, we aim to begin repairs in late spring / early summer 2026, making the cabin safe, secure, and dry again so we can finally reopen and help guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, gerbils and other small rodents who urgently need somewhere to turn.

With further support through monthly pledges — even just £2 a month — we can take the steps needed to get there.

To everyone who has pledged already: thank you. You didn’t just keep us going… you saved Nibbles.
And if you’re able to join them, your pledge will help us move closer to reopening the cabin and restoring the specialist support these animals desperately need.

Together, we can make sure these little lives are never left without support again. 💚🐾

💚 Our bonded rabbits are still waiting for their forever homes 💚

We currently have three bonded pairs — and one very special trio — all hoping that the right family will come along. Some of these rabbits have been waiting a very long time for their chance, especially Nacho, Chilli and Salsa, who have now spent an incredible 1,460 days in rescue.

These buns are looking for homes with their bonded companion(s). Their friendships are already formed, and staying together is what helps them feel safe, confident, and content. All they need is a calm, spacious home and someone who understands just how special bonded rabbits are.

If you’re considering adopting rabbits, or you’d like to read more about each group, you can find all their profiles here:
👉 www.nibbles.org.uk/adoption

Even if you’re not looking to adopt right now, a simple share can help them reach the people who are. Thank you for helping give these rabbits a chance 💚🐰💚

💚 Help Us Shape Our New Rabbit Care YouTube Channel! 💚

Behind the scenes we’ve been working incredibly hard on something new and exciting — our very own YouTube channel designed to support everyday rabbit guardians with clear, accessible, welfare-led information.

This channel is a key part of the brand-new Rabbit Care Hub we’re building for the Nibbles website — a space that will gradually grow to include blogs, downloadable guides, activities, videos, and more. But today, we wanted to focus on the YouTube side of things, because we’re finally getting close to sharing our very first videos.

We’re currently filming and editing our first topics, and if all goes well, our first upload — “What to Expect When Spaying Your Rabbit” — should be live within the next couple of weeks. We see so many guardians feeling unsure or anxious about spaying, so we wanted to begin with something genuinely helpful and reassuring.

In time, the channel will also include care and welfare guidance for the common domestic rodents — like guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, degus, and others. But right now, our focus is firmly on getting the rabbit content ready, and we’re working as hard (and as fast!) as we can around our day-to-day rescue duties.

And this is where you come in…

🐰 What rabbit care or welfare topics would you love to see us cover?
🐰 What questions did you have when you first became a rabbit guardian?
🐰 Is there something you wish there had been a clear, simple video about in the past?

Your ideas will directly shape the videos we create — helping us build a channel (and a care hub) that truly supports rabbit guardians and makes a real difference to rabbits’ lives.

We can’t wait to hear your suggestions, and we’re so excited to share this new project with you 💚

We’re working on our next welfare blog — “How Much Space Do Rabbits Really Need?” — and we’d love your help! 💚

We want to show real-life examples of amazing rabbit homes to help others see what good housing looks like in practice. Whether your buns live indoors or outdoors, in a shed, pen, or bunny-proofed room — we’d love to see their space!

If you’d be happy for us to include your setup photo in our upcoming blog or on our social media (with credit of course!), please pop a picture in the comments or send it to us by message.

We’re especially looking for:
🐰 Clear photos showing the whole setup
📏 Details like dimensions or number of rabbits if you know them
🌿 Spaces that show rabbits being rabbits — hopping, stretching, exploring, relaxing

Your photos will help us teach others what welfare-friendly housing looks like and show that providing proper space really does make all the difference. Let’s inspire more people to give rabbits the homes they truly deserve! 💚

💚 How cute is PeeWee?! 💚

This little lad might be small, but he’s bursting with confidence and personality. Always the first to hop over to say hello, PeeWee adores attention and has a real zest for life. 🐰✨

He’s now ready to find his forever home — somewhere he can meet a kind wifebun to share his days (and his binkies!) with.

If you’re looking for a cheerful, affectionate companion with a big heart, PeeWee could be your perfect match. 💚

You can find out more about him on our website at www.nibbles.org.uk/adoption

💚 Bridget’s Update 💚

It’s been a while since we last shared how Bridget is doing, and this brave girl has certainly been through a lot over the past few months. 🐰✨

Her right eye — the one that was so badly infected when she arrived back in May — has been looking good for some time now. But her left eye has continued to cause concern, and after her vaccination in July, it also began producing pus. Another course of antibiotics brought the infection back under control, but it’s never been completely clear, and we’ve continued to bathe it as needed.

Over the last month, Bridget’s overall condition has improved so much. She’s been in the best shape she’s ever been since arriving in our care, so we took a couple of deep breaths and booked her (and her daughter Pixie) in for their spays a couple of weeks ago. While she was under anaesthetic, her tear ducts were flushed, and her teeth given a good check.

It was a nerve-wracking day for us all, but our brave girl sailed through her operation without issue. The tear duct flush dislodged more pus from her left eye, which was a relief to clear, and her teeth — though not in great shape, especially her incisors — are currently causing no problems. She’s managing them well, keeping them low and functional, so for now we’ve decided not to interfere unless they start to trouble her in future.

She’s developed a little post-op snuffle (no surprise after everything her system’s been through), so she’s back on antibiotics and eye drops again. Through it all, Bridget has remained the gentlest, most loving soul — truly a fighter with a heart full of love despite everything she’s endured. 💚

Now that she’s finally been able to be spayed, this marks such an important step towards a happier, healthier life. As she’s likely to have ongoing eye issues and potential dental problems in future, Bridget will remain with us as a permanent sanctuary rabbit, alongside Pixie. We’ll continue to care for her and meet her veterinary needs for the rest of her life.

Bridget and Pixie have also been helping us behind the scenes with our very first YouTube video — part of the new resource library we’re building to help rabbit and rodent guardians care for their small furry family members. 🎥🐰

She really is an incredible bun, and we’re so proud of how far she’s come. Here’s to many happy, hoppy years ahead for this beautiful girl. 🌿💚

How long does your bun hold a grudge?

💨 Last week we groomed Glyndwr, and let’s just say… he did not appreciate it!

He’s almost forgiven us now, but we know he’ll be giving us the side-eye for a few more days yet 😅

Rabbits really are amazing at holding grudges — they never forget a slight (especially if it involves brushing, nail trimming, or the removal of stray tufts of fur!).

🐰 So tell us — how long has your bun held a grudge for, and what was it over?
Was it a grooming session, a vet visit, or the ultimate betrayal… running out of treats?

We’d love to hear your funniest (or most dramatic!) bunny grudge stories below 👇

🎄💚 Thank You, Diane! 💚🎄

A huge thank you to Diane Watkins for sending the buns their very first Enrichment Christmas Hamper from Hoppy Pets this year! 🐰🎁 The buns are already getting excited for all the festive fun and tasty treats inside — we can’t wait to see the Christmas binkies begin!

We’re also thrilled to share that Hoppy Pets are once again running their Rescue Christmas Hamper Boxes this year! 🌟 This wonderful initiative helps bring joy and enrichment to rabbits spending the festive season in rescue, and we’re so grateful to be included once again.

Thank you to the team at Hoppy Pets for taking the time to make sure everybun gets to enjoy a little Christmas magic. 💚
