The size of a pet never measures the size of the place they hold in your heart. Whether your home was brightened by the morning song of a beloved bird, the gentle company of a house rabbit, or the playful spirit of a guinea pig, ferret, rat, or reptile, losing them is losing a treasured member of the family.
At Rapt In Rainbows, we believe petite and feathered companions deserve a memorial just as dignified, personal, and lasting as any larger pet. Because almost all birds and pocket pets weigh well under 9 kilograms, our Small Pet Cremation Urn (0.549 Litres)—and our Medium Urn (1.546 Litres) for larger keepsakes or bonded flocks—gives you a beautiful Urn & Keepsake Memory Box in one.
How Our Urn Sizes Work for Birds, Rabbits & Pocket Pets
Because petite pets leave behind a very small, delicate amount of ashes, our Small Pet Urn not only safeguards their ashes inside a clip-seal bag and soft satin drawstring bag, but also leaves peaceful room inside the urn to preserve their most precious mementos.
| Urn Size | Pet Weight Guide | Internal Capacity | Urn Weight (Empty) | Ideal For Birds, Rabbits & Small Pets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Pet Urn | Up to 9 kg | 0.549 Litres | 815 Grams | Fits all individual birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, and reptiles—with extra space inside for feathers, bells, or a small keepsake. |
| Medium Pet Urn | 10 kg – 24 kg | 1.546 Litres | 1.4 kg | Ideal for Flemish Giant rabbits, a bonded pair or flock resting together, or when placing a larger fleece pouch, wooden perch, or plush toy inside the urn. |
| Large / Remembrance Urn | 25 kg – 100 kg | 3.168 Litres | 2.1 kg | Chosen by families creating a lifelong Family Sanctuary Urn to hold several beloved pocket pets, rabbits, or birds together over the years, or for miniature pigs and goats. |

Preserving Precious Mementos Inside Your Urn ("The Sanctuary & Keepsake Guide"):
When honouring a petite or feathered companion, having extra interior space is always a comfort—never a drawback. Because birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and pocket pets leave behind a very delicate volume of ashes, our Small Pet Urn (0.549 Litres) naturally doubles as a protective memory box. Alongside their satin ash bag, you will have gentle room inside to tuck away fallen tail or crest feathers, a leg ring, a favourite bell, a cosy fleece sleeping pouch, shed skin, or a small wooden chew toy. For families wishing to safeguard bulkier treasures—like a favourite perch, ceramic treat bowl, plush tunnel, or baby blanket—or those uniting a bonded pair, flock, or mischief in one shared tribute, stepping up to our Medium or Large / Remembrance Urn offers complete peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bird & Small Pet Urns
-
Not at all. While our Small Pet Urn (0.549 L) has a generous capacity for pets up to 9 kg, its exterior is compact, solid, and substantial enough to display a high-definition, 360-degree photo wrap of your pet so you can clearly see their feathers, markings, and personality. Having that extra space inside also allows you to safely store their feathers, leg ring, fleece pouch, or favourite toy inside the urn alongside their satin ash bag.
-
Yes! Because pocket pets and birds are lightweight, our Small Pet Urn (0.549 L) can easily hold the ashes of 2 to 4 bonded birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, or rats together, or two small-to-medium rabbits (up to 9 kg combined weight). You can even include photos of all of them together on the custom photo wrap.
-
Simply email your favourite photos directly to us after placing your order—no complicated upload portals required. Our Gold Coast family team will carefully design your wrap and help you create a tribute that captures their spirit.
