Along with many other rabbit owners the way we feed and keep our bunnies is top priority.  However it is often forgotten that they are a complex bag of nerves!  The slightest change in there environment or even food can cause a rabbit serious anxiety.  They suffer from stress, fear, loneliness and loss.  They seem to love, hate and suffer from jealousy with as much passion as any human.    These emotions are so strong they can affect their behavior, condition and health.


Bach's Herbal Remedies and Flower Essences are a completely natural well proven treatment for many emotional needs.  They have been marketed towards us humans (I can personally vouch for there effectiveness with regards stress!)  They are equally as good for animals and with rabbits being so small – great value for money.


We have chosen a select few, which we believe may help the most common problems that occur in rabbits. Simply a wonderful alternative for a bunny with a problem.


We hope you find this page helpful - These products have really helped our Rescue Bunnies to become calm, relaxed and a lot of fun.   
We have worded this information to specifically help rabbit owners.  However, please be aware that these products are suitable for use on 'Emotional' not 'Medical' conditions and common sense should prevale regarding situations you consider to need veterinary treatment.
