Why Choose Us
Melbourne Rabbit Clinic has joined the Unusual Pet Vets family. Our friendly team continue to share in your love for rabbits and guinea pigs and will provide high-quality veterinary care tailored to these wonderful pets. At this stage we will only be seeing rabbits and guinea pigs at the Melbourne Rabbit clinic, however over time we will gradually start to extend our services to also see birds, reptiles, ferrets, rats, mice, native mammals, fish and insects. This won’t affect the fantastic care we provide for rabbits and guinea pigs, but will instead help the owners of the other species to seek the care they need.
- Your pet will be under the care of a qualified team with a wealth of experience.
- We offer sound advice on nutrition and husbandry that will help you provide the best care for your pet.
- Our clinic is completely dedicated to the veterinary care of rabbits and guinea pigs.

HEALTHCARE PACKAGES
The first few months with any new pet can be daunting so we have developed a range of packages that will give you peace of mind while providing your new pet with premium veterinary care.
STERILISATION (DESEXING)
Sterilisation (otherwise known as desexing or neutering) is important in preventing many problems that can occur later in your pet’s life.
GENERAL HEALTH CHECK
Have an unusual pet? It can also be difficult to know whether your animal is healthy and being properly looked after.
SURGERY AND ANAESTHESIA
While any surgery or anaesthetic has risks, we try to minimise these by ensuring that your pet gets the best care possible.
Testimonials
Client – Ferntree Gully
Amazing place with lovely staff. We first came here after a recommendation from a friend after my rabbit had some problems were quickly able to fix them with a few diet changes. I trust them with my rabbits and i love how much you care for them. Would 100% recommend to people because good rabbit savvy vets are hard to find. Thank you for caring about bunnies and other small animals!
Hannah Biggin
Client – Ferntree Gully
Very professional vets there! They have the vaccination available when every other vet clinic I called didn’t. They know rabbits so well that I was feeling very comfortable and confident to let them take care of my rabbit even though its further from home!
Danielle Lam
Client – Ferntree Gully
Love the welcoming receptionist and the vet. They treated my fur babies with care and also follow-up the subsequent day, just to make sure my bunnies are recovering well.
