Gentle hands.
Small creatures.
Every strand matters.
What a session
actually changes.
These are real coats. Real rabbits. The difference is patience, the right tools, and hands that know when to slow down.
Angora Wool
English Angora
Arriving: Dense, matted wool pelting at the flanks — fibres locked together after three months without carding.
Leaving: Cloud-soft coat separated strand by strand, all mats released without scissors or stress.
Dutch Lop
Dutch Lop
Arriving: Dewlap fur damp and tangled, nails curling under — owner unsure whether to try at home.
Leaving: Dewlap dried and trimmed flush, nails clipped to the quick, rabbit returned calm and exploratory.
18 dB
Average ambient noise level during a session
The quietest room
your rabbit has been in.
Prey animals hear the world before they see it. We designed the studio around what they hear — and what they don't.
No barking
Dogs are not clients here. The studio is small-animal only — always.
Acoustic hum
A single low-frequency speaker plays ambient field recordings: rain on moss, wind through sedge.
Slow handling
No sudden movements. No raised voices. We narrate to the animal as we work.
"She fell asleep on the table. That had never happened anywhere else."
— Margot T., Holland Lop owner, Portland OR

Rabbits
Holland Lops · Angoras · Rex · Lionheads · Dutch Lops
We understand rabbit anatomy — the fragile spine, the sensitive dewlap, the way they go still when frightened. Every session is built around keeping them in that calm, trance-like state.

Guinea Pigs
Peruvians · Silkies · Coronets · Shelties
Long-haired guinea pigs pelt faster than almost any other small animal. We card out mats by hand, working from the tips inward — never cutting unless the animal is at risk.

60 hairs per follicle
Chinchillas
Standard · White · Mosaic · Beige
A chinchilla's coat is 60 hairs per follicle - the densest fur of any land animal. We know what dust bathing can't fix, and we handle fur-slip with the care it demands.

for the smallest coats.
Every tool in this studio was selected because it's the least stressful option for the animal — not the fastest, not the cheapest.
"We photograph every tool before a session the way a chef photographs their mise en place. Intention starts before the animal arrives."
— Burrow Studio Philosophy
For Angora & long-coated breeds
Ceramic Wide-Tooth Comb
Ceramic tines generate no static charge — essential for dry, fine rabbit wool that would clump around metal.
For rex, satin & short coats
Slicker Brush — Soft Pin
Flexible pins that bend before they pull. Loosens undercoat without disturbing the guard hairs that define rex texture.
For all small animals
Guillotine Nail Clipper
Single-blade cut that severs clean. Less pressure than scissors, less vibration to the quick. Preferred by every rabbit we see.
For matted coats & pelting
Mat Splitter — Fine
Separates locked fibres along the grain rather than cutting through. Preserves coat length while releasing the mat from below.

We'll ask about your animal first, then find the right service — and only then ask for your details.
Every strand matters.
Burrow is a small studio. We see a limited number of animals each week, and we intend to keep it that way.
