🤩Fun Fact Friday🤩

Carrots aren't the best food for rabbits!

Bugs Bunny has a lot to answer for. Root vegetables aren’t a natural part of a rabbit’s diet, and carrots are high in sugar so should only be fed occasionally and in small amounts.

Their diet should consist of mostly grass, hay, leafy greens, and green veg such as cabbage, celery, broccoli, etc, a variety of herbs and a small amount of pelleted feed.

We also like to treat our rabbits to the very occasional banana, apple, strawberries and grapes as well as making our own forage feed. We find this adds extra enrichment for our rabbits!

What’s the most common cause of heatstroke in dogs? If you said “being in a hot car”, you’d be mistaken. 75% of cases of heatstroke are caused by exercising on a hot day.
Tomorrow is going to be a scorcher, so, as well as not leaving your dog in a hot car, it’s vital that you avoid walking your dog during the hottest parts of the day, and stick to times when it’s cooler, such as early morning or in the evening.

Find out more about heatstroke and when to walk your dog on hot days at thekennelclub.org.uk/dogsdiehotwalks.
