Are rabbits for you?
•Rabbits have a life expectancy of 10+ years!
•They are not cheap pets! Insurance is always advised. As exotic animals, complex health issues can arise and soon mount up to thousands. It is important that you have a rabbit savvy vet on hand, should you ever need them.
•A pair of rabbits require a minimum of 6ft by 10ft in which they have access to at all times. Rabbits are most active at dusk and dawn, therefore being shut in a hutch or cage to "sleep" is not suitable.
•Rabbits are incredibly sociable animals and they value companionship just as much as they value food. Therefore no rabbit is re homed to live alone.
•Rabbits are not easy, beginner nor child friendly pets. As prey animals, rabbits do not enjoy to be picked up or cuddled. It is important that we respect this.
A hutch is not enough!
Hutches provide limited space for rabbits to move around, stretch, and exercise. Rabbits are incredibly active animals and require the same, if not more exercise than a dog! A hutch restricts their movement, leading to physical and behavioural issues. An overall miserable existence.
