Hobby Breeders of Miniature Rabbits

Our Online Pet Shop:

www.BobtailPets.co.uk

After breeding rabbits for several years, and graduating from University, we decided that it was time for us to take the next step in terms of providing for people's pets. As rabbit breeders we were constantly asked which products were best for rabbits, what size of hutch was required, what diet was best? It was for this reason that we set up Bobtail Pets, our own online pet supplies website. Now, not only do we have products available for rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals, but also for dogs, cats, aquatics and reptiles.

Bobtail Pets sells 1000's of products over a wide range of categories. We offer free delivery across the UK for orders over £29 and free delivery on all large and heavy items within Manchester. We can also set up a regular delivery service for you so that all your pet's food, bedding, treats and toys etc. can be delivered to your door on a regular basis.

If you are buying a rabbit from us here at Sunflower Nursery and would also like to place an order with Bobtail Pets then please do get in touch before you order as we can offer many of our rabbit products cheaper for Sunflower Nursery customers. We can also either deliver these items to your home free of charge or have them ready to collect from us when you pick up your bunny.

We are always happy to offer help and advice when it comes to choosing which products are best for your rabbit. We pride ourselves on only selling products which we would happily use ourselves. When it comes to rabbit (and other animal) foods there is such a wide choise available that it can sometimes be over-whelming. We have tried and tested many of the rabbit foods so don't hesitate to contact us if you are unsure of which to use. Our favourite is Argo Rabbit Pellets, a high quality pellet that stops selective feeding and one that definitely goes down well with our rabbits.

Please contact us if you have any questions about Bobtail Pets or anything that we stock.

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.

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.

Family Friendly

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.

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.

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.
