Hello
I am fairly new on here, but i am looking for 10-15 human guniea pigs to carry out survays on there local petshops within the next week - 10 days.
I am currently writing a dissertation for my animal behaviour degree the title is:
“What impact do incorrect living conditions have on the general wellbeing of pet rabbits? Who is providing incorrect information regarding the care of rabbit’s and can the sale of rabbits in pet shops be justified?”
I am looking for 10 - 15 people to carry out survays on local petshops to determine:
"Are the conditions rabbits are kept in, whilst for sale in pet shops in the U.K adequate to meet their needs?"
for the survays to be valid the following questions need to be answered:
1. Name of pet shop
2. Location
3. Number of rabbits currently avalible for sale
4. Size (as acuralty as possible hxdxw) of accomedation and number and sizes of rabbits in the cage (e.g small, medium, giant)
5. Diet of rabbits whilst in their care (how is water avaliable, hay? pellets or mix + ammount given + brand if posible)
6. Are rabbits kept in sexed or mixed sex groups
7. If two rabbits were in the same cage would the shop sell them sepratly
8. Information on light avaliable to rabbits (is their a light in the inclousre - is it bright or dark)
9. Are rabbits and gunnia pigs/ other animals in same enclouser
10. Location of the rabbits in relation to doors/windows and other animals for sale (e.g if they are located near reptiles/ dogs/ cats/ birds)
11. General notes on clendliness, physical condition, ect
Pictures of accomedation/ rabbits where possible
As i am a little stuck for time, completed survarys will recive either a maximum of a weeks free rabbit boarding at my home in south bucks (I have kept rabbits for 8+ years and am fostering for the RSPCA)
Or a free pack of Burgess Excel Nature Snacks posted to your home adress
If anyone is willing to complete a survay, please can you email me first to rachelburdett2003@hotmail.com to make sure no one else has done a survay for the particular petshop, all completed survays must also be emailed to that address
I am very apriciative for anyone willing to help, i am looking for a good selection if petshops from around the uk (both good and bad, big and small)
I am aware many owners may not want to discuss some aspects of the survay with you, it may be benificial for you to act as if you are a intrested in purachacing a rabbit from them
Thanks
