Rabbit Insurance
Rabbits make wonderful small pets, celebrated for their intelligence and friendly, social nature. While adopting a rabbit is usually quite affordable, it’s important to keep in mind that they are classified as exotic animals. In turn, this can lead to higher vet fees and treatment if your rabbit becomes unwell.

Insurance for older rabbits
You can take out a new rabbit insurance policy with us if your bunny is aged between 8 weeks and 5 years old.
Can you insure rabbits who have recently been unwell?
We can’t cover your rabbit if they’ve been to the vet for an accident or illness in the last 3 months. But don’t worry – once they’ve been treatment-free for 3 months and are fit and healthy, we can insure them. Pre-existing conditions won’t be covered in the first year, but after that, we’ll review them based on the policy terms.
As always, cover is subject to our policy terms and conditions.
Caring for your rabbit
Things you’ll want to take into consideration when caring for your rabbit include their diet, housing and bedding set up.
You’ll want to ensure that they have spacious accommodation as well as a safe and secure area in which they can exercise outside of their hutch at least once a day. In terms of diet and health, rabbits are herbivores and can enjoy a wide variety of fruits and vegetables as part of their diet.
Rabbits are unfortunately susceptible to a number of health conditions such as GI stasis, a condition in which the passing of food through the GI tract slows down.
Signs of illness in rabbits to watch out for include: slow movement or hiding away, increased thirst, decreased appetite or not eating at all, changes to stools, changes to breathing or discharge from the eyes, nose or mouth.
If you think your rabbit may be ill, contact your vet.
