Over the past few years there have been a few Pet Initiative days run by NERS with the aim to provide the public with advice on good standards of rat care, but now the time has come to become independent and begin the expansion to cover more species, hence the PI has become the NPI!
The newly established National Pet Initiative is holding its launch in Meldreth Village Hall SG8 6LX, on Saturday 26th October, 9am start for setting up, public hours 11 - 4pm.
There will be:
information displays on rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, plus some handouts
examples of food, bedding, housing, and enrichment
a chance to meet the animals
Q&A discussion session with a panel including some veterinary experts
a pet show for rats, run by NERS - send entries via the online form http://www.neratsociety.co.uk/forms/showentries.php by end of Wednesday 23rd Oct
fun activities for animals and humans
stalls selling food and accessories for small pets, and things for humans too (including Rat Rations, and The Onion Maid Art)
refreshments by Jon's Kitchen
Further details will appear on our website http://www.nationalpi.org
Please share the links to help us build up a following on twitter @nationalpi and facebook www.facebook.com/nationalpi
We are hoping to possibly get the national press interested, so the more support that we can show we have around the country the better, and we will also need a lot of helping hands on the day - so please get in touch if you want to be involved. Email chairman.nationalpi@gmail.com
