What’s included in a routine check-up?

For both rabbits and guinea pigs, we conduct a complete physical exam, checking the ears, eyes, teeth, coat, feet, and weight. We also assess their behavior, look for early signs of illness, and review their diet and environment with you.

Do they really need regular vet visits?

Yes. Rabbits and guinea pigs often hide symptoms of illness until it’s advanced. Routine vet care helps catch dental problems, digestive issues, or infections early, when treatment is more straightforward and more effective.

How often should grooming be done?

It depends on the breed and coat length. Long-haired rabbits and guinea pigs may need grooming several times a week, while short-haired ones can go longer between sessions. Generally, we recommend professional grooming every few weeks for optimal hygiene and comfort.

What should I feed them?

Both species need a high-fiber diet. Hay should be available at all times to support digestion and dental health. Supplement with leafy greens daily and small amounts of species-specific pellets. Avoid sugary treats, seeds, or processed food.

Is it worth taking them to the vet even if they seem healthy?

Definitely, many conditions, like overgrown teeth or internal parasites, develop silently. Annual or biannual check-ups help detect problems before symptoms appear, allowing us to guide you on preventive care tailored to your rabbit or guinea pig.

What health issues are most common?

Rabbits are prone to dental overgrowth, GI stasis, and reproductive disorders. Guinea pigs often experience respiratory infections, skin parasites, or vitamin C deficiency. Both can suffer from stress-related conditions if not handled or appropriately housed.

They need experts who truly understand their biology and behavior, as well as what makes them different. That’s where our exotic vets come in. Our team specializes in exotic animal care, all the way from routine checkups to full-fledged treatment procedures.

Once we’ve gathered the necessary information, we may perform diagnostic tests and imaging to ensure nothing goes unchecked. You’ll also receive clear and practical advice on nutrition, proper handling, and habitat care.
