Welcome aboard the TotR Hopper! Did you know that trains often include specially designed freight cars used for transporting loose bulk commodities (including coal, grain, ore, and track ballast)? These unique cars are called “Hoppers”, and with a name like that, what better choice to represent our rabbit grooming services?!

Hopper Services

Bunny Fast Track

Our Brushout service! The Bunny Fast Track includes:

• A basic wellness once-over, making note of any concerns and recommendations for veterinary care
• A thorough brush out using specialized techniques and tools, to help remove loose hair and trapped undercoat, minimize shedding, aid in the prevention of wool block, and distribute natural oils throughout the skin and coat
• Nail clipping and filing, along with a gentle comb out of the paw fur to promote healthy feet
• Scent glands will be checked and delicately cleaned if needed
• A sanitary trim (if needed!) to promote good hygiene

Bunny Full Steam Ahead

For the longhaired and wooly bunnies! Our Bunny Full Steam Ahead service includes:

• Everything included in the Bunny Fast Track service, plus:
• An all over trim to help prevent matting, ensure easier maintenance at home, and keep your rabbit comfortable (*please note that an additional fee may be implemented for matted pets and any rabbit requiring poo butt care)

*We also offer Nail trims & Scent gland cleaning a la carté*

Special Accommodations Include:

• Rabbits and guinea pigs are always groomed with an assistant on hand to help promote safety and comfort
• Soft, non-slip surfaces
• Hay is made available to nibble on throughout the session to help alleviate stress
• Enrichment foraging and/or treats may be used to encourage a positive association with grooming
• Rabbit-safe tools and products: Most popular pet grooming and cleaning products are geared towards dogs and many are not safe to use with rabbits. Being self-groomers, it is especially important that any products used on/near them is 100% safe. But not to worry- we’ve done the research and use only the safest, highest quality products and tools on and around our bunny friends.
• Breaks given to decompress if needed
• As with any animal in our care, emphasis is always placed on cooperative care handling and a fear-free experience. Stress levels are closely monitored throughout the appointment. If a rabbit becomes stressed at any point, the session stops and the rabbit is sent home. Stress in rabbits is no joke, and can lead to much bigger problems. Dividing grooming services into several shorter sessions may be recommended to keep your bunny healthy and happy.
• Bonded pairs are welcome! Separating bonded pairs can be stressful for both rabbits and guinea pigs so it’s always a good idea to keep them together whenever possible.
