Can you help?

Wilton House Veterinary Clinic in Cleveland are planning an evening for their rabbit clients to be held some time in March. Veterinary Nurse, Becky, is appealing for volunteers from the Rabbit Welfare Association to go along and give a short talk on a rabbit-related topic of their choice. Obviously their vets will be doing talks on the importance of vaccinating and neutering and discussing the common problems. Maybe you could talk about houserabbits; litter training; bunny proofing wires; or how to bond a pair of rabbits and the joy of keeping them together. Do you have knowledge of breeds that you could prepare a talk about?

If so please contact Becky on 01287 637470 as she would be delighted to hear from you.

Bunny Jump!

As you may have seen in the Spring issue of Rabbiting On, Alan Wilson is doing a Parachute Jump to raise much needed cash to allow the RWAF to continue its vital work to improve the lives of pet rabbits across the UK.

An account is being set up on www.Justgiving.com and will be live in a few days so please make a note to check this news page again to find out how you can support this worthy cause - or email Alan@Houserabbit.co.uk.

Alan is funding his own jump so ALL money raised will go towards helping rabbits.

Thanks!
