Vets are warning that the needs of rabbits are still ‘grossly misunderstood’.
Rabbit Awareness Week, which runs from June 1-9, is an annual campaign looking at key rabbit health or welfare issues to help the public and professional community better understand their needs.
This year, the theme is vaccination, following a 2018 PDSA report that preventive healthcare in rabbits was a ‘hugely neglected area’. Vets are urging all rabbit owners, and those thinking of getting rabbits, to register them with a clinic and have them vaccinated to protect against various deadly diseases.
For more information on this and other rabbit welfare needs, visit the Rabbit Awareness Week website.
