3/4 Of UK Rabbits With Dental Problems
Next week is Burgess National Rabbit Week, whose aim is to educate rabbit lovers on how to properly care for their animals. Free rabbit dental checks will be available at veterinary surgeries across the UK. According to latest figures 8 out of 10 owners do not feed their animals a correct diet, resulting in 3 out of 4 rabbits seen by vets being diagnosed with dental problems, which cause pain, distress and can even prove fatal.
Last year over 10,000 rabbits received free health checks from vets across the UK. National Rabbit Week wants to beat that record next week. The week culminates at the Excel Small Animal Show at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate on 26th and 27th January. It is the largest rabbit show in the UK with around 3000 Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, Hamsters, Mice and Rats attending over the two days.
