Keeping your bunny hopping healthily

In comparison to cats and dogs, rabbits are a little less maintenance however, they still need to be covered by a comprehensive insurance policy. Even with a tiny bunny as a pet, your vet bills can easily rack up.
While vet bills aren’t getting any cheaper, it’s worth making sure that for less than £25 a month, your rabbit can get the care they need without putting a big dent in your bank account.
