Do you Really Know how to Look after your Pet Rabbit? Take the Test
Everyone knows that any pet is a big commitment and that to look after them properly takes time, effort and money. I saw an amazing statistic last week that at least 80% of pet rabbits are not being fed correctly and many rabbit owners do not know how to care for their pet properly.
I just came across this Rabbit care test.

This is something that we are coming across more and more and we are currently looking into making all our own Rabbit hutches and Runs Locakble, not only to prevent possible attacks from dogs cats and other preditors but also to help guard across pet theft.
