Rabbit Awareness Day at Raystede

Saturday 29 June from 10am to 4pm

Love rabbits as much as we do? If you are a rabbit owner or ever thought of adding these inquisitive creatures to your family, join us for our Rabbit Awareness Day. Find out what it takes to be a great rabbit owner and about the joy that happy bunnies can bring. Discover how to give them the care and attention they deserve and why adopting rescue rabbits is best.

This event coincides with the wider national Rabbit Awareness Week, organised by The Rabbit Awareness Action Group (RAAG), the trusted voice for rabbit welfare, who for the past 17 years have campaigned effectively through Rabbit Awareness Week to improve the lives of pet rabbits.

On the day pop into our Adoption Advice Room to find out what is involved in adopting rabbits from Raystede, which rabbits are looking for their forever home and to ask our experts any questions you might have. We will be holding two adoption information talks at 11am and 1pm, if you wish to attend please email education@raystede.org to book.

Visitor testimonials from last year's Rabbit Awareness Day

‘I thought it was so brilliantly done, and a key bit of information as we have been given the wrong advice on caring for small animals for SO LONG! It didn’t come across preachy or anything, just gentle easy tips that are so helpful! Thank you for all the good that you do.’

'We learnt about how long they (rabbits) live, how much space they need, healthy foods for them.’

Got a question about rabbits?

Did you know that rabbits are much happier living with another rabbit?

Did you know rabbits’ teeth never stop growing (they can grow up to 3mm per week) and they can become overgrown if fed the wrong diet?
