Rabbit Awareness Week is running for two weeks this year, from 10 to 23 August. The event started in the UK 14 years ago and aims to raise awareness of the needs of rabbits when kept as pets.
The five main welfare needs of a rabbit are:
• A balanced diet
• A safe and comfortable environment
• The ability to display their natural behaviour traits
• Companionship – either from humans or another rabbit
• Good health
If you’re thinking of getting a rabbit as a pet, or already have one in your household and have any questions, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.

Over the summer months, the risk of "flystrike" increases amongst the rabbit population. Flystrike occurs when a particular type of fly lay their eggs on or around the rear end of a rabbit which hatch into maggots. The maggots rapidly eat affected rabbit's flesh causing discomfort, infection and shock, which can unfortunately be fatal.
The best prevention is keeping your rabbit clean and in good health, feeding an appropriate diet, carefully checking their bottoms twice daily and, during the peak season (May to September), applying preventive treatments.
Due to the rapid development of flystrike, your rabbit can become seriously ill in a very short space of time, so please contact us quickly for further help and advice if you have any suspicions.
