Rabbit Awareness Week set to return this summer
Rabbit Awareness Week will run from 24-28 June 2024.
This year's campaign will focus on rabbits’ diets.

Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) is returning this summer, running from 24-28 June 2024. The theme for this year will be ‘Healthy Diet, Happy Bunnies’.

The focus on rabbits’ diet comes after the most recent PDSA Animal Wellbeing (PAW) Report report revealed that 42 per cent of veterinary professionals identified inappropriate diet as one of the five most important rabbit welfare issues that need to be address.

The campaign will include veterinary blogs, videos, and digital waiting room resources. Practices can sign up to receive updates about RAW.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
