What’s the story?

Honestly, it was a tough call who I should be introducing first…my two bunnies, or myself! Because, let’s face it, if you’ve caught us on our socials, you’ll know that Mika and Pippin really are the face of this small biz, and the sweetest of recognisable little floofs around. Product posts appear far less frequently than these cuties do - which is just how it should be (according to Mika)!

And then I realised there was so much to say about this pair of tiny rabbits with HUGE personalities, that they probably deserve a whole page dedicated solely to them…so look out for that coming soon!

Nibbles & Knots began in February 2021 and was a result of two passions colliding…a love of bunnies (of course!) and my life-long obsession with crafting. I had recently taken up the art of knotting (macrame) during the pandemic lock-downs and started to use what I had learnt to create bunny-safe toys from seagrass cord for my own rabbits - since toys from pet stores really didn’t seem to interest them in the least, and I had begun to fear that my bunnies simply didn’t like to play! Which was ridiculous of course, and proven incorrect as soon as I tried them on my own toys. My husband then suggested that other bunnies might really benefit from my handcrafted enrichment products also…and N&K was born.

As a result, the first collection of toys were simply knotted seagrass with wooden components…but this quickly evolved when I started to experiment with designs incorporating timothy hay and a variety of other bunny-safe materials. Everything is designed and made-to-order by yours truly. And most importantly, everything is natural. Fun fact: almost 3 years on, and still the only colours you will find in our products are that of dried flowers!

My hope is that as many small animals as possible are able to experience the N&K difference and show their families that they really can live their best life interacting with completely edible toys. It all comes down to understanding their unique needs and giving them the kind of enrichment they love. The yummy (and healthy) kind, that is!
