At Keki’s Guinea Pig & Rabbit Rescue, we offer bonding services for both guinea pigs and rabbits. Bonding animals correctly is vital for their wellbeing, and our experienced team provides a calm, neutral environment to give them the best possible chance of success.
A fee is charged for bonding services, as this requires dedicated time, space, and supervision away from our day-to-day rescue work. All fees go directly towards supporting the running of the rescue and the care of animals in need.
Bonding at a rescue offers a neutral setting with experienced handlers who understand guinea pig and rabbit behaviour. This greatly improves the chances of forming a safe, stable, long-term bond.
First day of bonding: £12
Each additional night: £9 per night
Most boar bonding sessions take 3–5 nights on average, although some pairings may require additional time.
We also offer half-day bonding sessions for sows only:
Half-day bonding: £7
Please note that half-day sessions may result in your guinea pigs needing to stay longer, depending on how bonding progresses.
First day of bonding for two rabbits: £20
Each additional night: £12
Additional rabbits: £10 per additional rabbit for the first bonding session
Most rabbit bonding sessions take 5–7 nights, although some pairings may take longer depending on individual behaviour and compatibility.
Please be aware that we cannot guarantee all bonding attempts will be successful. In some cases, animals may not be suitable matches and may need to be separated.
To give the best chance of a successful bond, we may trial alternative pairings where appropriate. This means your rabbit or guinea pig may not ultimately be bonded with your originally chosen animal, but with a companion that is better suited to them.
If a bond is unsuccessful, you may not return home with a bonded pair. However, we will always keep you fully updated throughout the process and discuss next steps and alternative options with you.
