It's important to provide your rabbits with the correct nutrition for their health and well-being. 🐇
Research from the University of Edinburgh emphasised the importance of avoiding muesli-style diets for rabbits.

By switching from muesli to nuggets and plenty of feeding hay or grass, you'll help your rabbits thrive and avoid potential health issues like dental disease and obesity. 🐰

Consulting with your vet on the best way to transition your rabbit's diet is a great idea, as they can provide guidance tailored to your specific pet. Gradually shifting from muesli to a wholesome diet, which includes nuggets and feeding hay over a few weeks, will help prevent any digestive upset and ensure a smooth transition. 🌱

Remember to always provide fresh water and leafy greens for your rabbits to munch on throughout the day. 🌿 Your buns will thank you for providing them with the best possible diet to keep them happy and healthy! 🐰

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of flystrike for our fluffy companions. Flystrike, a potentially fatal condition, occurs when flies lay eggs on a rabbit's fur, which then hatch into maggots and feed on their flesh.

Keep a close eye on your rabbit's hygiene and
living environment, especially during warmer
months. Regularly check for any signs of soiled fur, wounds, or unusual behaviour.

Prevention is key:

🚩ensure your rabbit's living space is clean and dry,
and consider using flystrike prevention methods
recommended by your vet.

🚩If you suspect flystrike, seek veterinary
assistance immediately.

🚩Early detection and
treatment are crucial for the well-being of your
furry friend. Let's keep our rabbits safe and
flystrike-free this summer!

If you’re a rabbit owner, you might have heard the term ‘flystrike’ mentioned, but what is it?

Flystrike happens when flies lay their eggs on your rabbit & those eggs hatch into maggots. Maggots from blowflies: bluebottles and green bottles, are the most dangerous. They can eat into your rabbit’s flesh within 24 hours which can cause death in a very short time 😢

It’s important to remember that prevention is better than cure.

- Check your rabbit’s bottom daily, more often in summer.
- Keep their environment clean.
- Apply Rearguard or a similar product.
- If your rabbit has a wound, keep it clean and dry.

If you suspect your rabbit has Flystrike, then a trip to an emergency vet is required.

What would we do without Willow? Whether you plant your own weeping willow or forage hedgerows for Goat Willow and White Willow. All Salix are eaten with relish and may be the only thing a slightly peaky or recovering rabbit may eat. Willow contains a natural pain killer (salicin) but should never be used instead of veterinary medicines. You may, however, wish to mention to your vet you are feeding willow if they recommend an anti-inflammatory. Dries very well. Hawthorn is another hedgerow plant, the distinctive three-lobed small leaves are fresh green in spring and darken through the year. Masses of flowers come out in May, followed by red haws. Pick all times of year but best when shoots of fresh growth in late spring and summer as these will be thornless, unlike the older growth. Dries well. Every forager’s favourite dandelions ! A rosette of long pale green leaves, usually with indented edges (hence ‘Teeth of the Lion’) and a central stalk topped by a multi-petalled yellow flower. They will row nearly anywhere but just love open ground, such as allotments or other vegetable plots. Dries well.
