Welcome to the Bun Chia Burrow

why board when you can burrow?

We are Long Beach's premier rabbit boarding, bonding, and grooming specialists. We also provide expert care for guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, and rats throughout Los Angeles and Orange County.

We created Bun Chia Burrow to provide compassionate, science-based care for small mammals and their dedicated parents.

We wish to help you navigate small pet ownership in a way that works for your family, creating sustainable care routines beyond what you see on social media. Meet the humans behind The Burrow.
