Pet advice from Woodgreen
From behavioural issues to dietary needs, we’ve got you covered.
Patsu is such a curious boy, ready to win over everyone’s heart!
He is looking for some-bunny to share all the love he has with in his forever loving home.
He is a very confident boy who loves to be around your feet 24/7.
He loves to be handfed his morning pellets and will hop over to sit on your lap when doing so.
A head rub is one of his favourite things along with having lots to explore to keep him busy.
We often see Patsu having zoomies moments, hopping at speed around his unit, under and over lots of different enrichment.
He prefers to use his dig tray as a space to lay down and relax rather than spend time digging.
This rabbit needs a companion.
A social species, rabbits need to live with other rabbits to thrive.They feel safe and happy in pairs or groups and find comfort in companionship. Rabbits can be housed in neutered same-sex or mixed sex-pairs, or groups.
Rabbits are most active at dawn and dusk, and in the wild they have plenty of space to move freely at any hour. Pet rabbits need room to hop at speed, stretch to their full height and length, and dig, forage and graze whenever they like.
A pair of small to medium-sized rabbits need 24-hour access to a floor space of at least 3m x 2m, with a height of at least 1m. This is roughly the size of two king-size mattresses placed together, and about as tall as a door handle.
The image below gives you an idea of how much space a pair of rabbits need.

Rabbits are wonderful companions, but they’re often misunderstood as low-maintenance pets. The truth is, they’re not!
Here are a few things to think about before you apply:
Not sure if rabbits are the right pet for you? Our guide to choosing the right small pet species is a great place to start.
Our adoption fees are:
If you use our onsite mixing service, we ask for a donation of your choice on top of the adoption fee, if the mix is successful.
If you’d like to handle the introductions yourself, our behaviour and training specialists can provide free expert guidance throughout the whole process. From choosing the right mixing method to knowing behaviours to watch for, and how to move forward if things go well – they’ll be with you every step of the way.
Book a call with one of our behavioural and training specialists.
If you’d prefer to leave it to us, our specialists will handle the introductions at our centre. Once your setup has been approved, we’ll add you to our waiting list and be in touch when we have a suitable match. On the day, you’ll need to bring your rabbit/s to us, and we’ll carry out a quick health check before getting started. You’ll be kept updated throughout the process. We may need more than one session to find the right match. We’ll ask that your rabbit is vaccinated and neutered and we’ll need to see proof of this from your vet.
If a pairing doesn’t work out, we’ll help you find another potential companion. Find out more about our mixing service.
Once you’ve submitted your application, we aim to get back to you within two working days. This may be a little longer during busy periods.
From there, timelines can vary depending on your setup approval. If you’re using our onsite mixing service, the number of bonding sessions to find the right match will also be a factor.
It’s worth starting your application as soon as you’re ready to begin the process.
