Bunny boarding!

Headed out of town and wondering where to board your rabbits (or guinea pigs)? Bring them to our bunny hotel!

At Sunshine, we’re thrilled to welcome your bunnies— or guinea pigs—to our bunny hotel, a friendly spot where you can leave your rabbits in safe, loving hands when you travel. The experienced staff who take care of our boarding rabbits are all bunny parents themselves. So we give our rabbit visitors the same love we give our own buns at home!

Scroll down to see example photos of our bright, airy boarding spaces - the perfect spot for a bunny vacation. New! We also board guinea pigs!

Hitting the road and want to drop your bunnies off on the way? Our facility is conveniently located in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, just one mile off the 405. We are easy to reach from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Santa Ana/John Wayne Airport (SNA), and Long Beach airport (LGB).

Note: For the wellbeing of all the bunnies in our bunny hotel, we are no longer boarding unfixed rabbits - rabbits who have not been spayed or neutered. We recognize that, for some bunny owners, spay/neuter is a personal choice. However, the scents produced by unfixed rabbits can cause stress or behavioral changes for other rabbits at the facility.

If you’ve already made a boarding reservation for your unfixed rabbit and received a confirmation via email, Sunshine is happy to honor your existing reservation. As of July 2026, we will no longer be taking new boarding reservations for unfixed rabbits.

If you’re interested in having your bunny spayed (for girls) or neutered (for boys), Baker Bristol Pet Hospital in Costa Mesa and Seacliff Animal Hospital in Huntington Beach are now offering a special discounted rate for Sunshine community members: $300 for neuter, $350 for spay. To schedule, contact Baker Bristol at (714) 546-0010 or Seacliff at (714) 969-2691 and let them know you were referred by Sunshine Rabbit Center.
