🤣💙
Stay safe out there today folks 🐶💙

"If your dog is in danger of becoming a flying kite please stay home and have a cuddle.

With a red warning and for safety of your pets (and mine) in mind, I will limit my walks now to neccessary visits only.

Please check all your trampolines, bins, gates and fences before letting your dog out. Even the most most confident dog can get spooked in high winds due to the noise 💨

Have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday"

Don't mistake the word 'natural' for meaning suitable. Natural ingredients may include vegetables like peas, fruit and even seeds or grains. But these aren't species suitable for your rabbits.

Take Rosewood products for example! Rosewood create natural products for small animals, but each small animal has a different set of nutritional needs and ingredients they require. Hamsters need seeds, rabbits don't for example.

A very common purchase we see people making is the 'dandelion salad' or natures salad, which is available to buy from many stores and different suppliers (like Rosewood, simply nibbles, etc). These are not species suitable for rabbits, despite them being "natural".

When we talk about feeding your rabbit forage, we mean whole plants, herbs and leaves, not grains, corn, veg and seeds.

Check out the ingredients of the natures salad: ❌️
Oat flakes, wheat flakes, marigold (8.7%), parsley, red beet, alfalfa, nettle (4.1%), pea flakes, carrots, dandelion (3.64%), plantain, wheat, burst wheat, burst maize, edible leaves, cornflowers, rose petals, peppermint (2.25%), maize flakes, melissa, red clover.

And then compare to our favourite in the Rosewood range for rabbits, Fields of Gold: ✅️
Marigold (Calendula) (30%), Maize Leaves (20%), Chamomile (10%), Sweet Vernal Grass (10%), Raspberry Leaves (10%), Oat Herb (10%), Fennel (5%), Lovage (5%)

See the difference? As rabbit care givers you have to get savvy with reading ingredient lists and understanding what is suitable for rabbits versus rodents. Or, you could just let us do the hard work for you and follow the One Hop Shop - where every product sold is vetted by us and 100% species suitable for rabbits.

Rabbit owners, do you know about flystrike? ⚠️

Flystrike is a painful, life-threatening condition caused by maggots burrowing under the skin and feeding on flesh.

Any rabbit can get flystrike if flies lay their eggs on their fur, however, there are some factors which put a rabbit at higher risk of developing this nasty condition:

- Time of year - Flystrike is more common in the warm, summer months when flies are most active.
- Dirty bottoms – Dirty, damp fur is the perfect place for flies to lay their eggs, so if your rabbit has a mucky bottom, they are at high risk of flystrike.
- Wounds – Flies are attracted to wounds and will choose to lay their eggs around them. If your rabbit has a wound, always have it checked by your vet as they'll show you how to keep it clean and protected.

Flystrike tends to develop very quickly. It only takes a few hours for their maggots to hatch, and they can eat deep into your rabbit's flesh in as little as 24 hours. So, if you see any maggots on your rabbits, contact your vet straight away 🏥

Thankfully, when treated early, rabbits can recover. But it’s really important to keep a close eye on your rabbits over the warm summer months to prevent flystrike. Here’s some advice from our vets: http://pdsa.me/qVZ8
