Important Updates
Natural Feeding of rabbits. I've decided to add this section after rescuing some rabbits that were "natural fed". Natural fed means giving your rabbits a diverse diet... a diet of carrots, celery and hay is NOT a diverse diet. Giving your rabbit a diet of carrots and celery is akin to giving yourself a diet a chocolate bars. Not so healthy eh? Please go here to learn more about naturally feeding your rabbit.
About me
Welcome to AT Home Pets!
AT Home Pets was started years ago as primarily a dog walking and pet sitting business. I was home-based in Kitchener, Ontario and had a good business there. While in Kitchener I also raised mice and guinea pigs. Mostly for personal enjoyment but also to sell the young to various pet stores in the area.
In 2002 I got married! Moved north of London, Ontario. Continued my pet sitting business and settled into being married, and eventually having a son. :)
I connected a fellow in London to a friend of mine with rabbits of the meat variety. He gave me a pair of Holland Lops that he no longer wanted to care for, I got another rabbit from someone else and lo and behold I started to have rabbits around the house.
As time has continued I have learned what I like in a rabbit. A curiousity about life. I love a rabbit who wants to know what is going on in the world around it. Gentleness, ease of handling, and while I tolerate some "this is my cage" attitude, I do not like ill tempered rabbits. Warn me off but don't attack me! :) So I have, and raise rabbits that are just sweethearts. They range from the highly curious (in the mini rex particularly) to the gentle curiousity of the dwarf to the people friendly Holland Lops and the calmness in my meat breed rabbits. Nice rabbits one and all. :)
I have an active rehoming policy. If you buy a bunny from me and life circumstances change so that you can't keep your bunny, I will happily take the bunny back from you. No refunds though.
My son has decided he'd like to breed mice...beige ones. So.. we're back into breeding mice. On a hugely much smaller scale than I did previously.
The guinea pigs I raise are lovely multi-coloured pigs. These are my son's pride and joy. He just loves to sit and watch them scamper about. I've added some cresteds to the mix since I think they are too cute with that whirl on the top of their heads. :)
I continue to show rabbits and have some successes. I find it fun to show, but only show about four times a year. Family life often intervenes. I do like to breed good quality rabbits and guinea pigs. Not only to breed a rabbit with a sound personality, but a rabbit that looks the way I want it to as well.
