Rabbit & Small Pet Events in Long Beach, Los Angeles + Orange County
Join Bun Chia Burrow for community-focused rabbit care events throughout Southern California. From affordable RHDV-2 vaccine clinics and hands-on bonding workshops to adoption events and educational socials, we bring rabbit and small pet parents together to learn, share, and celebrate thoughtful animal care in the Long Beach, LA, and Orange County communities.
Whether you're navigating your first molt with a new bunny, looking for emergency preparedness guidance, or hoping to connect with other guinea pig and chinchilla families, our events offer expert-led learning and genuine community connection. We believe small pet care should be accessible, science-based, and rooted in the kind of warmth you'd find at a friend's house—because that's exactly where many of our events happen.
What We Offer
RHDV-2 Vaccine Clinics
Affordable rabbit vaccination with comprehensive wellness exams by trusted exotic veterinarians serving Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Orange County. Each clinic includes the Medgene vaccine series (two doses, spaced three weeks apart) and time to discuss your rabbit's specific health needs.
Educational Workshops & Socials
Learn practical rabbit care skills like emergency kit preparation, taking your bunny's temperature, DIY enrichment toy making, and recognizing signs of distress. Our hands-on workshops combine scientific knowledge with real-world application—and you'll take home supplies to get started.
Community Events & Pet Fairs
Meet us at pet-friendly festivals, open houses, and community gatherings throughout Southern California. We bring our adoptable foster rabbits, bunny merchandise (with 100% of proceeds supporting local rescues), and forage samples for your small pets to try.
Adoption & Rescue Support
Connect with adoptable rabbits from Long Beach Animal Care Services and Los Angeles Animal Services. Learn about responsible rabbit ownership and why bonded pairs make the best companions. We're passionate about finding forever homes and supporting the rescue community.
Grooming Clinics (Molt + Bolt)
Bring your rabbit or guinea pig to our discounted in-house grooming events where our team practices techniques while your pet gets pampered. A win-win for molting season!
Most events require RSVP. Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, and rats welcome at designated events. We recommend RHDV-2 vaccination before attending events with other rabbits.
Grand Opening
This is our final community event of 2025, and we're ending the year by opening our doors (literally!) to show you where your bunnies stay during their Staycation boarding visits and where bonded pairs are created during our Retreat program. Whether you're a Long Beach local or traveling from LA or Orange County, come celebrate this milestone with us.
