Unlike cats and dogs, rabbits don’t make a noise when they are suffering, so how can we be aware of when they are in pain?
Rabbits are a prey animal, which means they often hide signs of pain and distress. This can mean that when they do show signs of pain, it might be too late.
The best way to prevent this is to ensure they are up to date with their vaccinations and have regular health checks.
Also, spending time with your rabbits is very important. This way, you will instantly recognise any unusual or out of character behaviour which can be a symptom of distress.
Delicately checking your rabbits will also help you notice any matted fur, sticky bottoms, or physical injuries.
Please do not let them suffer in silence and wait until it’s too late!
