Diet
To keep your rabbit’s teeth and digestive system working properly, feed a diet of 75% hay, 20% fresh greens and only 5% dry food! This also works out much cheaper for you, as well as keeping your rabbit in tip-top condition! Ignore any advice to not feed greens until 6 months etc, these generally tend to be old wives’ tales.
Fly Strike
Fly strike is a potentially life threatening condition where flies lay eggs on the soiled areas of your rabbit and the maggots hatch out and burrow into the skin. It is essential that you check your rabbits rear end at least once daily throughout the summer months and keep their living conditions clean. Call us immediately if you find fly eggs or maggots on your rabbit.
Neutering
Rabbits can develop many behavioural problems such as aggression, and other problems such as tumours; having your rabbit neutered can prevent or greatly reduce the risk of these problems. Neutering can be done from around 4 months of age.
