Rabbits and Rodents

Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, chipmunks and prairie dogs do not need to be starved before anaesthesia so please keep feeding your pet’s normal diet right up until you bring them in for their procedure. Although we have a wide range of foods to tempt them to eat again following their anaesthetic, we also ask you to bring a small bag of their favourites to help with a quick recovery.
