Everyone, meet Addie! 🐶

Addie popped in to see us as her owners were concerned about a lump that had appeared. After a careful examination, the team suggested Addie have surgery to remove the lump and she is now recovering and doing well.

To close Rabbit Awareness Week, we wanted to highlight some Summer tips and tricks to keep your rabbits safe and comfortable this summer.

1) Keep them hydrated - Providing lots of fresh, clean water is essential. Giving them a few fresh vegetables is also a great way to get more hydration into their diet.

2) Provide shady spots - Whether you have an outdoor or indoor rabbit, it’s important to give them lots of shaded areas where they can relax away from the sun.

3) Regular grooming - this helps them to regulate their temperature, particularly if they have long or thick fur.

4) Regular cleaning - Bacteria flourishes in warm, damp spaces, so clean out your rabbit’s litter and bedding twice a day in particularly hot weather to prevent it from spreading.

Happy Easter to all our clients and their fur babies 🐰 🐣 ###

Thinking of an Easter Bunny for your child this year?

For those who own bunnies it is clear that they are NOT easy children's starter pets.

It could be this illusion that means that despite being a popular pet, their basic needs such as companionship, veterinary treatment or preventative care, diet and husbandry often aren't adequately provided.

So let's briefly cover some important rabbit topics.

🐰 Our life span can be 10+ years - is your child going to remain interested for that long and if not, are you willing to still care for the rabbit?

🐰 Rabbits dietary needs often aren't well met - their teeth and gastrointestinal system can experience issues if we don't provide the correct diet. We need majority grass and excellent quality hay. Some leafty greens, herbs and vegetables and a small amount of good quality pellets. We do not need excessive fruits or root vegetables like carrots.

🐰 Studies have shown we are better with companions, the best combination being a neutered female and neutered male. Two entire males (not castrated) will likely fight, two females may also fight when they are hormonal and have a extremely large chance of getting uterine cancer if you do not neuter - are you prepared to neuter two bunnies?

🐰 Rabbits need vaccination each year for myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease 1 and 2 (and maybe even another for new strains if your practice can source them). They also may require preventative care like fly strike protection and their veterinary care is often complex - are you financially prepared for this responsibility for 10+ years?

🐰 Rabbits categorically cannot be kept in a small hutch - it is mentally and physically damaging to their health - they require a very large and safe accomodation. Have you got the means to provide this?

There are over 900 000 pet rabbits in the UK, 48% live alone, 50% haven't received their boosters, 22% of new rabbit owners find it stressful, 33% haven't been neutered. PDSA Paws Report. Rescues are inundated with rabbits - please do not add to this burden and research first
