Having a pet can be expensive and involves you in making a long term commitment to your adopted pet. Regular expenses you will have include weekly food bills, yearly booster vaccinations, boarding fees during holidays, pet insurance, and any unexpected veterinary treatment charges.
Is a Rabbit the right pet for you?
- Can you afford £5 a week for rabbit food
- Can you give your rabbit access to a hutch in an escape proof garden or provide a secure run and hutch?
- Can you afford up to £10 a month for pet insurance?
- Can you be at home for part of every day?
- Can you afford your rabbits’s regular vaccinations (about £25 a year)?
- If needed can you afford veterinary treatment throughout your rabbit’s life?
- Can you afford to board your rabbit or arrange for family or friends to look after your cat while you are on holiday?
- Rabbits are social animals and so we will normally only re-home in pairs or individually to be paired with an existing rabbit at a home.
If you can answer YES to these questions then read on to find out about adopting a rabbit.

Shadow was signed over to us as he was no longer wanted by his owners and Mugs came to us having been found as a stray.
Shadow was quite timid when he came to us, but after being given a bit of a chance to settle into his foster home he is actually quite friendly and calm. Mugs is quite a bold little girl and always hops over to greet you. This pair are looking for a home together they have recently found eachother and are now inseperable.
