It seems to come around again so quickly, but it must mean Spring is here! Rabbits are the most popular small animal, but there is much more to owning a rabbit than popping them into a hutch and feeding them occasionally!
Regular health checks are advisable and many vets are giving free checks during RAW week, keep vaccinations up to date.
A healthy balanced diet of dark green leaves, pellets and a plentiful supply of hay is essential, remember their teeth are continually growing and domesticated rabbits need access to plenty of gnawing material! Don't forget a good supply of fresh clean water.
Keep the hutch clean daily cleaning is very important to keep parasites at bay, replace soiled bedding and spray with a disinfectant.
Keep your pet warm in winter and cool in summer!, move the hutch inside or cover up with a hutch cover in winter to stop wind and rain, and move to a shaded spot in the summer.
Stop your pet becoming bored! although you might think rabbits spend all their time eating your lawn-they love to play, so provide items of interest, such as tunnels, toys and treat balls.
