🐰 Rabbit owners, guardians, and carers needed 🐰

Are you a rabbit owner or guardian, or do you feed and provide daily care to rabbits, and live in the UK…?

The Rabbit Welfare Association and Fund (RWAF) in collaboration with UK Pet Food are looking to better understand current rabbit feeding practices in the UK and the factors influencing them.

We’d love to hear about the rabbits you care for and would be grateful if you could spare 10 minutes to answer some questions in our quick survey. Your input will help shape welfare strategies, improve dietary advice, and benefit pet rabbits’ health.

The survey is anonymous and aims to gather honest insights without judgment. Email addresses are optional and will only be used if you would like to be entered into our prize draw (to win one of three £50 Amazon vouchers) or if you would like to participate in further research.

The survey will end and the prize draw will take place at 5pm on February 2nd 2025 providing that 1,000 eligible surveys have been completed. If necessary, the survey will be extended and the prizes drawn once the required number of surveys have been collected.

More details about the research will be shared at the end of the survey. Thank you for your time.

❌❌ RHDV OUTBREAK❌❌

We have seen a number of sudden onset deaths in rabbits over the last couple of weeks which we believe may be a RHDV outbreak.

The rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) is responsible for an acute and highly contagious disease of rabbits. It is a devastating condition that affects their liver, causes internal bleeding and death very quickly.
The disease is transmitted from rabbit to rabbit or through any objects that may have been contaminated such as bedding or clothing. Insects, fleas, flies, rodents and birds can also carry the virus.
Sadly this disease has a very high mortality rate and rabbits can die in one to three days after becoming infected. Rabbits suffering from haemorrhagic disease are often found dead with bloodstained fluid in their mouth and nose but clinical signs can include fever, depression, lack of coordination, breathing difficulties, fits, and bleeding from the nose.
This disease is one of the reasons why it is recommended to vaccinate your pet rabbits and keep their immunity levels high with annual boosters. Consult with your veterinary surgeon to provide your pet with the best possible protection.

Unfortunately there is a new strain of RVHD2 affecting rabbits, please keep a close eye on your rabbits for any symptoms. A few tips to reduce chances;

1. Keep your rabbits living areas clean, use a high level disinfectant (F10 or Anigene) when full cleaning (leave to dry before replacing bedding).
2. Disinfect shoes that have been worn outside your home, before they are worn around your rabbit. RVHD2 can be carried from infected areas to your home and rabbit.
3. Sadly vaccinated rabbits have also been affected but keeping vaccinations up to date is still important.
4. Ask your vet whether the are aware of the new strain, if not encourage them to research it to ensure the best care for your rabbit.

There isn't much information available at the moment, but the RWAF is the best way to keep up to date.

In light of recent comments online, it is clear that some of you have lost rabbits to RVHD2, some of which may be from the new, highly virulent strain. As this means that the current vaccine has not offered protection, reporting it will assist the regulatory authorities in allowing in vaccines that....
