Rescue isn’t just what we do — it’s who we are. This blog offers an honest look into the reality of rabbit and rodent rescue: the emotional weight, the tireless work, and the joy that keeps us going. Discover why we’ve devoted our lives to changing theirs — and why your support matters more than ever.

Nibbles Rabbit & Rodent Rescue answers the questions we’re asked daily—and shows how just 658 people pledging £2/month can keep Wales’ only specialist rescue open.

Nibbles was founded to give rabbits and rodents the specialist care they deserve. Ten years on, we’re still saving lives—but we’re now facing permanent closure. This blog shares just a few of the many animals we’ve helped, and why rescues like ours are still urgently needed. With your support, we can keep fighting for the next life in need.

Rabbits might seem calm in petting zoos or cafés, but that stillness often hides fear. As prey animals, they freeze when stressed — not because they’re relaxed. Taking them to busy, noisy events isn’t cute or kind, it’s harmful. Responsible care means meeting their needs, not using them to meet ours.

From childhood pets to founding Nibbles, this is the story of a lifelong bond with the unseen animals who need us most.
