Mr Nibbles brings a special smile to Maple Lodge Residents
Pet therapy in care homes is something that is proving more popular throughout the UK, and this was no exception for staff at Maple Lodge care home in Staffordshire.

Residents love to see the home rabbit, Mr Nibbles. They enjoy making a fuss of him and it helps spark conversations about what pets everyone has had throughout the years. Several Residents have had pets and they like to reminisce about how much they enjoyed looking after them.  

Resident Betty Glen is always happy to make a fuss of Mr Nibbles and enjoys helping to look after him.

One thing about Mr Nibbles is that he always gets showered with love at the home. Residents always say how lovely and fluffy he is. It is certainly therapeutic when he lays on their laps and gets a good stroke and pamper. 

The rabbit is certainly spoilt rotten!

Home Manager, Sarah Dodd, said, “It was a great decision to get the rabbit for the Residents as they find it comforting and love looking after him”.
