Description
More than half of rabbit owners have rabbits showing unwanted behaviours, and most of these behaviours occur because of poor welfare. This webinar gives a practical guide to exploring common behavioural problems in rabbits in the context of the rabbit’s overall welfare. At the end, you should feel confident in identifying welfare deficits and supporting owners to improve these, and in giving advice on how owners can address three specific behavioural problems: destructiveness, litter-training problems, and fear behaviours.
Learning Objectives
- Recognise common behavioural problems in rabbits
