Animals as Companions and Therapy vessels!

For centuries humans have used trained animals to improve human beings' emotional state. The first documented use of an animal for therapy was in 1792 in York Retreat, England. This facility used farm animals, such as rabbits to improve the mood of patients with mental illness. In the world of animal assisted therapy there are many species involved, such as dogs, cats, chickens, turtles, pigs, fish, horses, and yes, rabbits!  

Why therapy with Bunnies?

There are several characteristics and qualities that make rabbits good therapy animals:

  •  There size
  • Intelligence and friendliness towards humans and other animals
  •  Playfulness
  • Ease of Socializing
  • Ease of travel - (accepted by most airlines and hotels)
  • Clear nonverbal communication to covey what they like and don't like

 In addition, it's clear humans and rabbits can develop strong bonds. Literature depict rabbits as popular childhood animals!

What are some benefits of Therapy with Rabbits?

  •  Promotes Communication and Expression - Playing with rabbits is a positive, relaxed, and fun experience. Resulting in mental stimulation. Which makes one eager to share the experience with people they trust. Such as family and/or caregivers.
