Boarding and Grooming Services
Bunnies need regular grooming—not only does it help strengthen the bond with your new pet, but it is especially crucial during a moult. A moult is the period during which your bunny sheds its entire winter or summer coat and grows a new one. For example, a winter coat begins to moult once your bunny senses the end of winter, and a summer coat follows once summer is over. In regions with distinct seasons, this typically happens twice a year. However, in warmer climates, bunnies may moult more frequently and therefore require additional grooming support. Learn about grooming a bunny here.

How long will a grooming take?
Grooming your bunny can take about 2 hours for a regular rabbit. (Angora rabbits and long-haired bunnies require more time, sometimes 3-8 hours!) You may want to leave them with me for the day for a long groom.
What does grooming include?
A full grooming includes brushing and combing your bunny. It also includes checking the cuticles, trimming and filing all 18 of your bunny's nails, and cleaning out the scent glands. I can also check their ears and teeth at your request. It may also include trimming some dirty fur. If the bunny comes to me dirty, with poop or cecotropes stuck in their fur in groin area, or much matting due to not brushing, grooms can take much longer and be costlier.
Will you teach me how to groom my bunny?
I can teach you how to groom your bunny if you would like to come here for a session. You can make an appointment with me and must be willing to spend at least two hours with me learning and practicing. I charge less if you get a group together and all come at the same time
My bunny has teeth issues, can you help with those?
If you have a bunny with maloccluded teeth (incisors and peg teeth), I can help you understand the problems having to do with that, and if the issue is just incisors/pegs I can trim and file them. I cannot trim molar teeth as that requires sedation. I can also recommend a great dental vet (in Southern California) if the problem is one where the teeth should eventually be removed. Some bunnies have maloccluded teeth that grow slowly and can be controlled with trimming and filing, but others have teeth that grow so quickly that the constant trim/file becomes stressful and they MIGHT be better off having them removed. Though I feel that bunny teeth are better left, if at all possible. Life changes MUCH for both bunny AND owner when teeth are removed/extracted. It's a lot more work and it can shorten a rabbit's life span to not be able to eat hay.
Do you do consultations?
I do consultations where I come to your home and see what your set-up is and help you with any issues you have with your bunny (behaviorally, nutritionally, set up etc). I can tell you the best and least expensive things to do, not only for having a wonderfully happy healthy bunny, but also for being a happy and satisfied bunny owner! I welcome a donation (towards my gas and time) if you are happy with my information and help.
I also can help you with which foods and hay are best for your bunny, where the best prices are, and what you need and do not need to have a happy bunny! I am happy to spend an hour or more talking to you about any bunny-related questions you might have.
You can also come to my house and see the kinds of set-ups I have for my bunnies. I have had from 1 to 60 bunnies living in my home at once, and have come up with the fastest, best and easiest ways to care for them! I am always happy to share any of this information with you!
I need my bunny boarded while I am away. Do you board bunnies?
I board bunnies if you need boarding while you go on vacation. Fees are listed under boarding.
