Question 1

Why do rabbits need grooming?

Accepted Answer

Rabbits, especially long-haired breeds like Angoras and Lionheads, need regular grooming to prevent matting, which can cause skin infections and restrict movement. Grooming also helps prevent hairballs, which can be dangerous for rabbits as they cannot vomit.

Question 2

How often should I bring my rabbit for grooming?

Accepted Answer

Long-haired rabbits should be groomed every 6-8 weeks to keep their coat manageable. Short-haired breeds may only need professional grooming during shedding seasons (spring and autumn) or for regular nail trims every 4-6 weeks.

Question 3

Do you offer sanitary trims for rabbits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, sanitary trims (cleaning the area around the bottom) are a key part of our service. This helps prevent 'flystrike,' a potentially fatal condition caused by flies laying eggs on soiled fur.

Question 4

Is grooming stressful for rabbits?

Accepted Answer

Rabbits are sensitive prey animals, so we take extra care to ensure a calm environment. Our groomers are experienced in safe handling techniques to minimize stress. We recommend bringing your rabbit in a secure carrier with some of their own hay to make them feel more comfortable.

Question 5

Can you trim my rabbit's nails?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Nail trimming is included in our full groom packages or can be booked as a standalone service. Regular trimming is essential to prevent nails from curling and causing pain or injury.
