Rabbit Awareness Week
Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) is an annual week of events run by participating vets, retailers and rescue centres, that aims to raise awareness of the welfare needs of pet rabbits.
Rabbit Awareness Week runs from 23 to 29 May and this year’s hot topic is rabbit behaviour.
Rachel Roxburgh, our scientific officer specialising in rabbit welfare, explains why we’re involved.
