How and why did The Bunny Bach start?
Our Story
The Bunny Bach supplies premium rabbit and guinea pig hay and essential small animal supplies across New Zealand with a mission rooted in rescue, reliability, and animal welfare.
Founded by the creator of Raining Rabbits Rescue NZ, The Bunny Bach was born out of firsthand experience in small animal rescue and the ongoing challenge of sourcing consistent, high-quality hay. Hay isn’t a luxury for rabbits and guinea pigs, it’s essential to their health, yet unreliable supply, rising costs, and uncertainty place constant pressure on rescues and owners alike.
What started as a way to keep rescue rabbits fed quickly grew into something bigger. Rescue after rescue faced the same struggle, and The Bunny Bach was created to remove that burden, not just for one organisation, but for the wider rescue community.
Today, The Bunny Bach proudly supplies premium hay to pet owners and rescues throughout New Zealand, including Raining Rabbits Rescue, Auckland Cavy Care, Happy Rescue, The Animal Sanctuary and Wellington Rabbit Rescue. Every purchase helps ensure rescues always have access to quality hay without stress, shortages, or sudden price shocks. We supply when in need, not when we have damaged stock.
The Bunny Bach isn’t a traditional pet supply business. It’s built from lived rescue experience, with a focus on consistency, trust, and putting animal welfare first. When you buy from The Bunny Bach, you’re not just purchasing hay — you’re actively supporting rescue animals and the people who care for them.
Reliable hay. Ethical supply. Real support for rescue.
