Care & Welfare Guidance

At Nibbles, we believe that every rabbit and rodent deserves a life that goes beyond the basics — one where their physical, emotional, and behavioural needs are genuinely met.

 

Our Care Hubs are designed for everyday guardians who want to understand what good welfare really looks like in practice. Whether you’re looking to improve the care you already provide, or trying to decide if a particular species is the right fit for your home and lifestyle, these resources are here to help you make informed, compassionate choices.

 

All of our guidance is rooted in the principles of the Animal Welfare Act, alongside current, peer-reviewed welfare research and our experience as a specialist rescue. We focus on what animals need to feel safe, confident, and able to express their natural behaviours.

​

Our care hubs cover the core areas of welfare, including environment, diet, behaviour, companionship, and health. Some sections are more developed than others, and we’re continuing to build and expand our resources throughout 2026. Rather than rushing content online, we’re taking the time to ensure everything we publish is clear, evidence-led, and genuinely helpful.
