What to expect from a Rabbit Rearing Program
We bring out a home on wheels for our mummy bunny (Doe) and her kittens. Similar to the picture shown. We set up the enclosure with food, water and wood shavings and equip you with the knowledge to care for your pets.
Up one end will be the ‘nest’ with the babies and fur and straw.
For the first 2 weeks you will not be able to pick up the babies and play with them however after they are jumping out of the nest themselves, the nest can be removed and the babies along with mum are able to come out in a controlled environment for pats and to play.
What age group best suits the Rabbit Rearing program
Preschool, Kindergarten, Child Care & Primary School Education from Foundation to Year 6. But, the information & interaction can be enjoyed by all ages.
Little kids (as well as the grownups!) love the chance to cuddle and feed their favorite animals! We offer young children the chance to finally meet the stars of their favorite books and TV shows, whilst teaching them about the animals and why we need them in our lives
Primary school children will love the opportunity to get up close and personal with all our friendly animals! The program fits in perfectly with the school curriculum, and can be a great teaching aid. Allowing the children to be interactive helps to develop their interest in animals, and this can be translated well to the classroom. Why not combine the Mini Pets with the Milking Demonstration or Bush Babies for the perfect educational experience? For programs on life cycles visit or Rabbit Rearing or Chicken Hatching Page.
Our Mini Pets are perfect for science and agriculture classes, allowing students to meet in person the animals they have been learning about. Our engaging approach to learning will ensure that it is a class to remember! Our staff can teach the students about the unique features of all the animals and how they are utilized in our daily lives.
Why not invite all your friends to a farmyard party? Our farmers for the day can help your children with handling and feeding the animals, we can take the stress out of your child’s big day We offer 10 free activity packs with every Animals on the Move party we also offer party invitations and activity sheets, available for free in the ‘downloads’ section of our website. Our activity packs include an activity book, pencils, balloons and stickers. Extra packs can be purchased for $2 each, you can even purchase Farmyard themed party hats, paper plates, paper cups, party blowers and lollie bags (order over the phone). We offer the whole experience you can even play our “Pin the Tail on the Piggy” game!
The Mini Pets can offer a great experience for the elderly. Whether it’s reliving their childhood or doing something new, the farmyard is always a hit. Our animals can also be used as a form of pet therapy. Pet therapy can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also increase self-esteem and improve social skills.
