I have kept Pet Rabbits since January 1998. I don’t know how much, if any, improvement I have seen in the public’s knowledge about Rabbit Welfare as I mostly only interact (via the internet) with the already converted. I don’t doubt that most Rescues would say that no, the situation regarding Rabbit Welfare is as bad as ever. Maybe even worse.
On a personal level I have 100% improved in my knowledge thanks to the information obtained from Rabbit welfare groups such as the RWAF etc. Recently I was looking at photos of how I used to keep my previous Rabbits and I cringe with shame. I also remember the dreadful diets I fed to them.
So, you folk who live in the real world rather than in Hermit Land like me, what is your opinion on the state of Rabbit Welfare in 2023. I am referring to Pet Rabbit owners, Rabbit Breeders and Exhibitors. Also, the extent of knowledge about Rabbits within the Veterinary profession. Are Rabbit Savvy Vets still a very ‘rare breed’ ?
