Loud and unexpected noises, flashes of light, and the smell of fireworks can cause considerable stress around the New Year, and this applies to our smaller pets as well, such as rabbits and rodents. We also offer support for your smallest pets.

Even small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters experience stress around the New Year. They can be frightened by the sudden loud noises they hear or the flashes of light they see. They relax best in their own familiar environment, and changing their living space can lead to stress. Therefore, it’s important to consider the type of small pet you have and what you can do to help them feel secure.
Rabbits and guinea pigs, in particular, have sensitive digestive systems that can be disrupted by too much stress. Their digestion may slow, posing risks like gas build-up or even gut stasis. Because you want to avoid this at all costs, minimising stress is key. If your rabbit or rodent starts eating less or stops eating altogether, this is an emergency. Contact your vet as soon as possible, as prompt action is crucial!
Periods of tension can significantly lower the immunity of rabbits and rodents. The immune system weakens, making them more susceptible to infections and illnesses. During prolonged stress, animals may develop symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, and digestive issues. To give their immunity extra support, you can try a supplement like Bunny Nature – goVet – Immunoplex or Oropharma Opti-Vit.
