So who are we? We are hobbyist show rabbit breeder. Dee has been a member of the British Rabbit Council for over 35 years and a member of the Rabbit Welfare Association for over 10 years. We keep and breed two types of rabbits these are: Mini Lops, and Lionheads.
We have only pure bred rabbits and we have aimed to produce rabbits that are of good size and a good example of the breed in accordance with the breed show standard.
Our rabbit’s litters have been carefully planned and thought through with regard to producing robust, healthy rabbits of good temperament. We breed purely for ourselves and show purposes, with the intention of keeping some of the young rabbits for myself for showing and or new breeding stock. All of my rabbits are kept and cared for to the highest standard. Any funds they generate are used for the up-keep and welfare of my rabbits. Anyone breeding and keeping rabbits correctly will make a loss on the sale of these rabbits. Our rabbits are not breed for profit making. However there will always be surplus rabbits that do not come up to show standard that we don't keep. These are offered to people wanting a rabbit, or some times to other show breeders looking to introduce a new blood line, where agreed. We regularly handle our young rabbits; this makes them confident about being handled. All our rabbits leave us hand tame.
If you are homing a bunny from us, please also support us by buying your cage and your accessories from us, (this is what funds us and our rabbits throughout the year). Some rabbits are only available with our full packages. By supporting us we can support you.
We offer's a 10% discount on the Malling deluxe double hutch range homing package, when purchased and collected with our bunnies, plus a 10% discounts on our complete deluxe indoor housing packages, with our feed & bedding and training packages
We will advise you on the correct housing and the rabbit/s needs. If you decide to go elsewhere or you already have a cage please check with us beforehand that it is suitable for the breed of rabbit that you are wishing to home. For those that already have a hutch or have bought one elsewhere- there will be a "Bunny workshop/homing fee" * added to the rabbits to cover our cost, overheads and the time spent with you on pick up. Sorry about this but we are struggling to maintain the level of service we are currently offering otherwise. If you support us in your setup purchase we can continue to support you with help and advise.
If we feel that what you have is unsuitable, we reserve the right to refuse the homing of the rabbit/s until correct housing is available. We will not home any rabbit/s to live in unsuitable housing.
For more on hutch size please click here: ( This will take you to the RWA site),.
A photo of the actual housing you have will need to be seen prior to any deposits being paid, If a link to a hutch is sent or a photo/drawing is supplied and the hutch is then found to be different to what has been agreed- your deposit will be lost and your rabbits homed elsewhere.
Rabbits leaving us will come with their first vaccinations against VHD2, treated against mites and a care leaflet on worming and care, plus we offer on-going advice for the care and well -being of your rabbit.
All rabbits are health checked by myself, a health form is completed for your records or by a vet if you so wish (cost to be covered by you) prior to leaving for their new home.
If you would like to reserve a rabbit or rabbits, we will require a 50% non-refundable deposit to secure the pet of your choice, your deposit will only be returned due to unforeseen circumstances on my behalf. We can not hold rabbits unless a deposit has been paid, we are sorry about this but have been let down too many times by people.
There are two ways in which you can pay a deposit on your chosen bunny:
We are happy to offer advice on our rabbits.
A rabbit requires a commitment of care for it during its life. This could be 5-10 years or longer. The commitment required in caring for your rabbit includes not only routine feeding, care and time spent with the rabbit but also the provision of veterinary treatment if the rabbit becomes ill. There may be times when prompt veterinary treatment is needed and once a rabbit is ill it can deteriorate quickly
Insurance companies do offer veterinary insurance cover for pet rabbits.
If you experience any problems once you have taken your rabbit/s home, please do not hesitate to e-mail or phone me
Once a rabbit has settled into their new home and after 72 hours*, We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or death that may occur.
If for any reason you are unable to look after a rabbit you have bought from us, we will gladly take it back.*
Neutering Service- CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE.
We offer a neutering and re-bonding service for rabbits leaving here. If you have a single bunny already or one that has just lost its partner and are looking for a companion, we can advise you on which of our available bunnies would be best suited, we can arrange their neuter but can not bonded them for you unless they came from us, however we are happy to guide you in the bonding of the rabbits.
The neuter fee has to be paid for as well as the rabbit/s in full before it/they go to the vets. (Occasional things can go wrong at the vets, if you are unlucky and your chosen rabbit does not survive the neutering or recovery period, the neutering and cost of the rabbit is non refundable.)We will neuter at 10-14 weeks prior to the male realizing he is a boy.-The neutering fee covers -payment for the vet, all our running back and fourth to the vets, the aftercare including administering drugs and checking the wound, and re-bonding the neutered rabbit with it's partner, as well as the extra time we have kept them.
Sometimes we will have bucks that have already been neutered- these are ideal if you are worried about the operation as we have taken the risk with these rabbits.
You may well be able to find a cheaper option but you will need to budget in to this the time involved -possible three visits to your vets plus some vets will not neuter before 4/5 months old- so you will be either risking pregnancy and an un-wanted litter, or having to separate the bunnies whilst you are waiting. if rabbits are spilt from each other prior to neutering there is no guarantee that these will go back to together. We can neuter Does if they are 5 months old and still here only.
Rabbits neutered must be collected on their ready date, (please bear in mind that we have already kept these far longer than any other breeder would off and space is limited), for every day over the agreed collection day there will be a £5 boarding charge per day for the first week, rising to £10 a day , if a new collection date is not agreed within 2 days of you missing your original appointment you will lose all payments made and the rabbits will be put back up for re-homing. If the delay is because the rabbits is not ready or fit enough to go- there will be no charge.
Sorry but we can only neuter rabbits already in our care, if you are needing a rabbit neutered that you already own you will need to arrange this yourselves with your vet.
Please note.* The sexing of baby rabbits is very difficult; therefore we cannot guarantee the sex of your pet; unless you are re-homing a bonded pair, or a young adult or adult rabbit. Rabbits do not normally start to breed before 15 weeks old, although there can be the rare exception; it is advisable to get any bucks from a mixed pair neutered between 12-14 weeks old. We will not be held responsible for any babies born, the cost of raising these youngster and any subsequence vet bills will be meet by yourself. No financial assistance will come from us: although we will aid you in the re-homing of them and offer advice though out the raising and weaning period. We do offer a neutering service prior to rabbits leaving here, and advise that you use this.
During the travel restrictions we started to use a private same day courier to get your bunnies and kit safely to you, we then did a virtual bunny workshop with the owners and bunnies the day before they were due to leave. This covered everything that they need to know as well as handling and training. Cost will be down to where they lived and the time involved. To give you a rough idea- this is 38p a mile and £12 an hour. So if you live in North London- a round trip of 160 miles taking 3 hours -this would be £97 Please see the review below from our first bunny home to use this new service.
We are carrying on with this service if you would like Bunnies and kit delivered or you can collect in person.

Dee was also very clear that we could contact her any time to discuss any issues. The bunnies arrived safe and sound with an extremely helpful (masked) driver and all the equipment. It couldn’t have gone more smoothly. They are settling in well and are an absolute delight. The equipment also all seems to be very good quality and we found it very helpful to be able to get everything we need in one go. We couldn’t be happier with the bunnies or with the experience. Thank you!"
Animal Welfare Act 2006
The Animal Welfare Act - and what this means for pet rabbits...
The new Animal Welfare Act is the most innovative piece of animal legislation for almost 100 years. In real terms it means that the law now has the teeth to intervene before cruelty has been inflicted upon an animal, by placing a 'duty of care' on the owner / guardian of bunnies.
When does the new law come into effect? From 6 April 2007 in England, and in Wales from 27 March, animal welfare law has been improved. It is still against the law to be cruel to any animal. But now you must also ensure that all the welfare needs of your animals are met.
