Pet advice from Woodgreen

As with all small pets, rabbits will need to be housed securely away from any other pets in the home.
Rabbits do enjoy the companionship of humans and can become very affectionate and enjoy taking tasty fresh forage from your hands. Rabbits do not enjoy being handled and they can find loud noises and sudden movement scary, so they are often suited to families with slightly older children.
Rabbits need lots of space to keep them fit, healthy and happy, the ideal outdoor accommodation for a pair should consist of either a shed/wendy house or a 1.8m (6ft) single level hutch, attached to a 3m long by 2m wide by 1m high run.
Alternatively, the ideal indoor accommodation for a pair should consist of a large room that the rabbits can have 24hr access to, plus daily access to other areas in the home, as well as a secure run to use outdoors in the garden in the warmer months. It’s important they are able to hop, stretch up and jump on to things to express their natural behaviours.

Phoebe and Regina are sisters looking for their forever home together. They are a sweet pair but can be nervous and will need time to settle into a new home. They are looking for a home where they can have the time and patience they need to build their confidence. They like to have plenty of hiding spaces and lots of piles of hay to hide away in together.
Due to their very fluffy coats, they will need regular grooming and care to keep their coat looking lovely and knot-free. The fosterer is currently carrying out weekly grooms on the girls. This is quite time consuming when done properly but totally worth it as they look fabulous after their pamper sessions.
If you can offer Phoebe and Regina the home they are looking for or would like more information, please complete our online registration form.
