Hobby Breeders of Miniature Rabbits

Why Sunflower Nursery

We believe it is very important for perspective owners of rabbits to buy from a breeder. This said not all breeders are the same and some can be more trusted than others. Sunflower Nursery uses techniques from the most recent and trusted research to provide rabbits which are good natured, friendly and tame. Please consider the information provided on our Socialisation and Habituation Page, it will tell you more about why our rabbits are equipped with skills and kindness to benefit both yourself and the rabbit in future life. It is worth checking with any other breeder you contact if they have a Socialisation and Habituation programme before considering any rabbit for obvious reasons.

Sooty

Family Friendly

Jaffa

Our broken orange doe, Jaffa, is a lovely fluffy rabbit with a fantastic mane. Her babies always take after her and are also very fluffy, making them look like little bundles of fur when they are tiny. Jaffa looks a lot like Bailey, our first rabbit, and is very similar in personality too - very laid back and takes everything in her stride. She builds lovely, warm, big nests due to all the fur she has to pull and her babies are always snuggly and warm even through the cold winter months.

before you buy a rabbit...

It is important that you have researched and understood the care and commitments that owning a new rabbit can take. Sunflower Nursery is happy to help answer any questions you may have and we have provided care sheets to help you with this preparation. Once you are certain you will be able to give one of our rabbits a loving home we would love to hear from you and help you find your perfect new family friend. We only breed rabbits which are suitable for children, that are easy to handle and enjoy human companioship.

Should you need advise about rabbit products such as hutches and food we are only a phone call or e-mail away and our experience in the pet supplies trade allows us great insite - we are also able to supply you with all the essentials you will need to make your new rabbit healthy, happy and hopping.

Tilly

Tilly is Sooty and Leo's daughter, she's a lovely sweet little lionhead, very fluffy like her Mum and with her Mum's wonderful, laid back, personality. She's going to be a stunning girl as she gets older, she's already a beautiful rabbit. She's very friendly, loves the company of other rabbits and is always at the front of the cage wanting love and attention.

Carrie

Carrie is our absolutely stunning martin sable lionhead doe, she has lovely markings and is a lovely rabbit, both in her looks and in her nature. She is a natural Mum, spending all of her time with her babies when she has them. Nina loves nothing more than to sit and nibble on her favourite array of fresh veg including carrots, cabbage, green peppers and brocolli.

Jake

Jake is a stunning double maned broken agouti lionhead buck bred here at Sunflower Nursery from one of Jaffa's past litters. He lives a life of luxory with our friends at Dandelion Nursery but occssionally likes to come back for a visit to his girls.

After you buy a rabbit...

We provide ongoing after care once you take your new rabbit home. As we are always happy to answer any questions you are never alone should you find that you need advice. We also guarantee that we will take back any rabbit that you are not able to continue looking after to avoid our rabbits from ending up in rescue centers if your circumstances change. Don't be afraid to get in touch with us if you are unsure of anything and remember, if you are going away on holiday we are able to take care of your pets here in our own home whilst you are away, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and looked after, allowing you to enjoy your holiday.

Bramble

Bramble is our very handsome double maned lionhead buck. He is black in colour with a lighter mane and skirt. He's a very sweet lad back buck who likes to spend time with his lady, often washing and grooming them very gently. He loves having time to run and play in the garden but most of all loves his cuddles. He will happily sit for hours letting you groom his long fur.

Bramble is currently looking for a loving new home, if you can offer Bramble a home either as a pet or a breeding buck then please get in touch with us.

Feel free to browse our website and make use of any information we have on here. You will find pictures and information on all our own rabbits, which are primarily our much loved pets. You will also find information on up and coming litters and babies that are currently in the nest and being looked after by their Mums. Once babies are reserved this will be viewable on the Nursery pages so you can always check which babies are still available. Our care pages provide lots of useful information that you will need to know before buying a pet rabbit and if you contact us in person we are happy to email you care sheets and give any other advice you may need. As well as rabbits we occassionally have a small number of guinea pigs available also, but as these are few and far between they do get reserved quickly so feel free to get in touch and request to be put on the waiting list in advance.

Sunflower Nursery Mini Lionheads

Here at Sunflower Nursery we currently have a small number of mini lionheads does for breeding but we are on the look out to extend our loving Mini Lionhead family so watch out for more gorgeous bunnies here soon.

If anyone has any mini lionheads rabbits suitable for breeding please feel free to get in touch with us.

With years of experience, we are always happy to offer advice to anyone. In the past we have helped with unplanned litters caused by rabbits from pet shops wrongly sexed, housing, nutrition and general advice about rabbit care. We recieve e-mails on a daily basis asking for help or advice and you need never feel alone. We always encourage people to gather as much information as possible so they can help their rabbit live a long and happy life - even if you are not adopting a rabbit from us.

Everyone is welcome to e-mail or phone us. All we ask is that if your rabbit is ill you seek the immediate attention of a vet who is 'rabbit savy' rather than seek our advice.
