Rabbit and Guinea Pig Educator

Renée Blackman is a leading rabbit and guinea pig educator, speaker and podcaster dedicated to transforming the way small companion animals are cared for in Australia. As the 
founder of The Pampered Bun, Renée has spent over four years providing specialised grooming and care services before pivoting her business toward education to empower both
owners and veterinary professionals. Her work has been recognised internationally, with ThePampered Bun awarded Best Small Animal Care & Services in Southern Australia in the 2024 and 2025 LuxLife Pet Product Awards. Renée was also a finalist for Innovation Business Woman of the Year in the Canberra Women in Business Awards 2024. With a focus on bridging the “bunny blindspot” in owner knowledge, Renée creates accessible education through online courses, masterclasses, and community resources that complement clinical care. Her mission is to reduce preventable health crises, strengthen client confidence, and raise the standard of rabbit and guinea pig care across Australia.
