Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t guests hold the bunnies?

We know the bunnies are so cute and it is tempting to want to hold them! However, most bunnies do not enjoy being held, they prefer to only be pat on the floor as they feel safer and are a prey animal in the wild. Holding the bunnies can also pose danger to the bunny if it is not handled correctly. Bunnies can be sensitive to handling, and the stress of being held by unfamiliar hands may cause them distress or anxiety. Respecting these guidelines helps create a calm and safe environment for both the guests and the bunnies.

​

Who are our animal helpers and team members attending visits?

​

Aside from our family and family friends, our team consists of passionate animal lovers who assist us part-time. Many of our team members are university students from UBC, SFU, and BCIT, pursuing degrees in Nursing, Business, Education, Criminology, and Kinesiology.

​

What should I know before petting a bunny?

​

Approach bunnies calmly and gently, allowing them to come to you. Avoid sudden movements and loud noises. You may pet the bunny on its back only. You may offer them some of the food we provide but do not force. Let the animal come to you. 

​

What measures are in place to ensure the bunnies' well-being?

Our team closely monitors bunny interactions, and specific guidelines are in place to promote the welfare of the bunnies and the safety of visitors. We kindly emphasize the importance of adhering to our guidelines to ensure the well-being of our rabbits. Although in extremely rare situations, it's essential to note that, like any living animal, bunnies could resort to biting or scratching if they experience mistreatment. Mistreatment would entail forcefully holding the bunny down, touching parts of its face (eyes, mouth, etc), covering its face or restricting the bunnies movement by cornering it. If mistreatment does occur after our team member has gone over safety instructions, you will be asked to view the bunnies only from the outside. 

​

Children 3 years and younger must be accompanied by an adult while interacting with the animals at ALL TIMES. Parents/Guardians of children 12 and under must be supervising their child at all times. Parents must accompany all children 3 years old and younger to feed and pet the bunnies. For Children 3 and younger: Parents MUST hold their child's hand while both feeding and petting. Please use the back of the child's hand to pet the animals to avoid grabbing. This is an effective way we have found to safely interact with the animals. Hands must be washed with soap and water after the visit. 

​

For the safety of our animals and our guests, we reserve the right to remove any individual from the animal area who is not handling the animals gently, is unable to follow safety guidelines, or is uncooperative.

​

By following our recommended practices, you contribute to creating a safe and positive environment for both our bunnies and yourself. Your cooperation in this regard is greatly appreciated!

​

Can we have an indoor or outdoor set up for the animals?

​

We offer both indoor and outdoor setups. We always prefer being outside to setup as it is better for the animals and less of a mess. If it is raining and you have a balcony or tent to cover the animals, that would be great! Please note we do not provide popup tents.

​

We can set up inside on any surface except carpet for cleanliness reasons. Please ensure to have a space approximately 6 ft by 8 ft in size for the turf mat and fencing to fit. Shoes will also have to be worn inside the pen at all times. ​​

​

What kind of bunnies do you have?

​

We have a variety of bunny breeds, each with its own unique characteristics. 

​

Are any of the bunnies up for adoption?

When bunnies are available for adoption, an email will be sent out to potential adopters who have shown interest and given us their contact information. We only ever let a bunny be adopted if they have been socialized, are well tempered, friendly, and most importantly, is going to the best home possible.

​

Can bunnies be litter trained?

​

Yes, rabbits can be litter trained. They often pick a corner for elimination, making litter training relatively straightforward.
