Rabbit Health

Vaccinating

Rabbits can start their vaccinations from 5 weeks old. The vaccines consist of one injection which is given annually to protect against both Myxomatosis and Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (RVHD)

Nutrition

Rabbits are highly adapted to a diet high in fibre. Their teeth are continuously growing and as in the wild, they graze for many hours a day in order to wear them down.

Parasites

Fly strike or myiasis, E. cuniculi parasite, gut worms.

Neutering

Neutering surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and can be performed from 3-4 months of age in male rabbits and 6 months of age in female rabbits. There are several health benefits for neutering.

Housing

Outdoors or indoors - rabbits need plenty of space and exercise.
