About Us

Bellarine Bunnies is a boutique Mini Lop rabbitry based in the Bellarine and Greater Geelong region of Victoria. Our focus is on raising healthy, well‑socialised Mini Lops with beautiful type, reliable temperaments, and the kind of gentle nature that makes them exceptional companions.

💙 A Purpose‑Driven, Small‑Scale Rabbitry

Bellarine Bunnies was created from a genuine appreciation for the Mini Lop breed and a desire to contribute thoughtfully to its development. What began as a personal interest has grown into a carefully structured breeding program built on selective pairing, consistent evaluation, and a commitment to producing rabbits that meet both the breed standard and the expectations of modern families.

By keeping our rabbitry intentionally small, we are able to focus on:

  • Developing strong, consistent lines over the long term
  • Selecting breeding rabbits for temperament, structure, and genetic soundness
  • Improving crown placement, ear carriage, and compact body type
  • Working with beautiful colour genetics, including lilac and Vienna lines
  • Producing rabbits suited to companionship, showing, or future breeding programs

🐰 Raising Confident, Well‑Socialised Rabbits

The early environment shapes a rabbit’s entire life. Our bunnies are lovingly raised in calm, structured environments that build stability and confidence from the start — predictable routines, controlled conditions and consistent human interaction. Our babies are raised in enriched, climate‑controlled spaces where they can explore, interact, and develop naturally. They are gently handled from a young age, helping them grow into confident, affectionate rabbits who adapt well to new homes and routines.

This approach is why Bellarine Bunnies are known for their calm, friendly natures and their ability to bond closely with their families.

🤝 A Supportive, Ongoing Partnership

Choosing a rabbit is a meaningful decision, and we take pride in supporting our owners throughout the process. We provide clear guidance before and after adoption, helping families prepare for their bunny’s arrival and ensuring a smooth transition into their new environment.

Our support doesn’t end at pickup — we remain available for ongoing advice and assistance. Your bunny’s wellbeing, and your experience as an owner, genuinely matter to us, and we value the long‑term relationships we build with our families and fellow breeders.
