Why We Don’t Say Bunny Boarding
If you searched ‘bunny boarding near me,’ you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common phrases people type in when they’re looking for care. But here’s the thing: we don’t call them bunnies. We call them rabbits—and we treat them like the intelligent, complex animals they are.
It might sound like a small thing—just a word. But language matters, and this one tells us a lot about how people see the animals in their care.
When someone says “bunny,” we know they probably mean well. It’s soft, childlike, and rooted in affection. But it also carries assumptions: harmless, simple, easy to handle. And anyone who’s ever tried to groom a moulting Rex during a heatwave knows how far off that really is.
We don’t call cats puss-puss. We don’t call dogs woof-woofs (at least, not out loud). So why reduce rabbits to baby talk?
They’re intelligent prey animals with complex needs. They bond, they sulk, they panic, they form routines. They require proper nutrition, grooming, space, companionship, and the kind of care that doesn’t come with a carrot-shaped chew toy and a £5 hutch from a garden centre.
Calling them “bunnies” encourages a mindset that treats them like decoration. Like a starter pet. Like something a five-year-old can take on as their first “responsibility,” as if feeding and mucking out at dawn is magically easier because the ears are cute.
At Redbeck, we take that seriously.
We’ve spent decades understanding rabbits—not just their biology, but their behaviour. Our work isn’t fluffy. It’s deliberate. Observant. Practical. And done properly, it keeps these animals healthier, calmer, and safer for longer.
So if you’re looking for bunny boarding, Google will probably still send you our way. But when you arrive, you’ll meet people who see your rabbit for what it actually is—an individual. Not a novelty. Not a toy. And definitely not a “bunny.”
