The Ultimate Bunny Christmas Gift Guide

Published date: 04 November 2024

Despite all the stroppy bunny behaviour you have likely dealt with this year, our furry friends still somehow deserve all the presents this Christmas.

So, to help you out, here is our ultimate bunny Christmas gift guide.

The Gift of Tasty Treats

Rabbits have a reputation for being a little greedy at times, however, we cannot allow Christmas to pass by without offering them a healthy festive treat.

The Norah’s Small Animal range is packed with supportive botanicals, fibre, vitamins and minerals. There is a wide variety of treats, from Banana Slices to Oat Cookies and mixed Vitality salads. Every single treat is natural and designed to suit the smallest mouths.

The perfect array of treats to stuff your rabbit’s stocking with.

Shop our small animal festive treats while they last!

Of course, our bunnies always need more hay, so why not take the opportunity to stock up on some high-quality dust-extracted meadow hay?

The Gift of Play

Our bunnies are remarkably intelligent and with this clever nature comes the risk of boredom. Rabbits that aren’t provided enough physical and mental enrichment often display destructive behaviours, such as fur pulling and cage biting.

The best thing you could give to your rabbit this festive season is a daily enriching playtime! Shop our range of Activity Toys.

Give your rabbits plenty to do, with a variety of toys and homemade activities. Items like cardboard boxes provide great excitement for our furry friends. Stuff a box or egg carton with hay and sprinkle a few treats inside, your rabbits will have a fantastic time digging out those titbits.

This encourages natural foraging behaviour and of course, is adorable to watch.

Read our blog on Bunny Behaviours to understand your furry friend better.

The Gift of Being Pampered

Did you know rabbits get hairballs?

Our bunnies are hygienic and clean animals, so they spend lots of time grooming their coats. This of course can lead to a build-up of fur in their intestinal system. Our rabbits can’t vomit like other animals, so hairballs can be incredibly dangerous.

Brushing your furry friend every day and keeping their fur free of debris and mats will help reduce the risk of rabbit hairballs. So why not give your rabbit the gift of a brand-new Bamboo Brush? Get brushing your bunny, this will keep them healthier and encourage bonding.

Did you know diet is also key to reducing hairball risk? Hay is essential for our bunnies’ health. Watch our Hay video.

If you want to go a step further in reducing hairball risk, try using a supportive rabbit diet. Norah’s Natural Rabbit Food contains a hairball supplement called Lignocellulose. This alongside daily hay helps to lubricate the digestive tract and prevent hairball buildup.

The Gift of Your Time

Our rabbits might act like they don’t love us sometimes… however daily attention, play and love are highly valued by our furry friends.

The best way to bond with your bunny is to spend lots of time with them. Settle down near their hutch or indoor cage and let your bunny exercise and bond closer to you. So, this festive season pledge to spend as much time as possible with your rabbits, believe me, they will love you for it.

I hope you and your furry friends have a wonderful Christmas.
