Pet Rabbit Welfare Guidance

Pet Rabbit Welfare Guidance
6th April 2018

The RWAF is happy to have been involved with working on Pet Rabbit Welfare Guidance, now available on the Scottish Parliament website. This is a great step forward in giving formal structures to ensure that pet rabbits are properly looked after throughout their lives.
