Whether it’s for fun or for health, a massage will surely bring your rabbit joy and comfort. As well as a bonding experience for the both of you.

   A massage can help a bunny going through stasis, get the stomach moving a little bit on the way to the vet. As well as get your speed racer, into a purring pampered bun.

   It is recommended to follow your rabbit’s natural schedule. The best time for a massage is after your bun has eaten and  is relaxed. As well as in a place they are most comfortable in such as on the floor, on a couch they frequently lay on, or on the bed.

   Before starting there are a few things you will need to do and supplies you’ll need to get. Wash your hands with soap and water to make sure your rabbit isn’t distracted by the smells on your hands. Next you’ll need a towel to lay down. In some rabbit’s messages can cause an accident.

  Lastly, some fresh greens for after the massage.

  Now to start the massage keep one hand on the rabbit at all times, this helps them feel safe, run your hands down the rabbit’s body 2-4 times to calm them down. Then rub between the nose and eyes. These are sweet spots on most rabbits. Then going up to the ears, rub the tips of them.

 Next starting at the top make circular motions with your fingers down the left and right side of the rabbit’s spine. But not on the spine. To end the massage run your hands down their body 3-4 times. If they are still wanting more just lightly stroat them.

After offer them the freshly washed vegetables.

  For the first couple sessions this might be enough for a message. Once your bunny is used to your touch, you and move down to the belly, tail, and feet. Don’t go there until you are absolutely certain that your bunny trusts you for that.

  Massages help lead to a closer bond between you and your bunny. As well as offering health checks and relaxation for your bun.
