Skin disease is quite common amongst pets, as up to 25% of small animal consultations relate to skin issues. Part of the reason why skin conditions are so common is that skin only reacts in certain ways despite many different causes. Don’t forget, ears are lined with skin as well. Skin conditions cause irritation and pain, therefore understanding the cause means a quicker resolution.

Unlike domestic dogs and cats, a rabbit’s teeth never stop growing and can grow nearly 2mm a week.

Pet rabbits are not typically offered access to the same type of vegetation and often consume dry pellets as the bulk of their diet.
Grooming is an important part of pet welfare and wellbeing and should be carried out regularly.
