Their calm nature, soft bodies, and inquisitive behaviour make them exceptional partners in therapeutic work, particularly for individuals who may find larger or more energetic animals overwhelming.

You’ll gain a clear understanding of their therapeutic value, learn how to meet their welfare needs, and discover how to build meaningful, compassionate connections that enhance emotional well-being and trust.
