10 Things you may not know about rabbits...

1. Give me space! - Rabbits need as much exercise as a small dog. Their accommodation should have a sheltered resting area. The enclosure should have plenty of space for them to move around freely, and allow them to sit up straight and look around.

2. Two's company - Rabbits love living with other rabbits and shouldn't be kept alone. Neutered rabbits of opposite sexes can go together.
3. Neuter for health - Always neuter your rabbits to prevent fighting, unwanted litters and cancer in females.

4. Keep us together - Rabbits can forget their companions after a few hours. Take them to the vets together and never separate same-sex pairs.

5.One of the family - Rabbits can be house-trained and make great house pets.

6. Handle with care - Rabbits are shy and ground-living animals - they need time to develop trust with their owners before being picked up. Make sure 10. you know how to handle them.

7. The right diet - Rabbits' teeth never stop growing, so they need to grind them down as they eat. A diet of 80-90 per cent hay is essential, with only a small quantity of pellet food and vegetables. Provide clean water in a large, drip-feed bottle.

8. Change the bed - Soiled bedding needs removing every day and the whole home should be cleaned regularly.

9. Keep an eye out for us - Rabbits are prey animals adapted to hide signs of suffering and won't cry out if something's wrong. Keep an eye on them and take them to a vet if you think they have a problem.

10. Vaccinate! - Rabbits need to be vaccinated against myxomatosis every six months and VHD once a year.
