We recommend microchipping at the time of desexing, if not before. A microchip is a small, rice grain sized silicon chip inserted under the skin between the shoulder blades. It stores your rabbit’s personalised number and lasts for the life of the animal. This number is registered on an Australia-wide database. When a Veterinary Clinic, Animal Shelter or City Council scans a lost rabbit the microchip number will be linked to your personal contact details, enabling a pet to be quickly returned to its owner.

Remember that your rabbit will still need to be registered with the city council.
