National Rabbit Week starts tomorrow (24th) and the Hutches & Crutches Pet Centre in Bolton-le-Sands has been in touch to let us know they will be running a number of free demonstrations in store promoting rabbit welfare.

Take your rabbit along for free claw clipping, dietary advice and learn how to check for potential health problems (Please phone the centre on 727600 to make an appointment).

Hutches & Crutches is a pet centre with a difference. All of the animals in our care are ‘recycled’ pets. They all have their own stories and they are all looking for new homes.

“We are also running a ‘Rabbit Raffle’,” says Catherine Lange from the centre. “Tickets can be bought at Hutches & Crutches, with a first prize of a £30 voucher.”

There will also be a discount on Burgess Excel products in store and money off vouchers while stocks last and the Centre are also offering 25% off all rabbit hutches throughout the week.

“Many of the rabbits in our care are picked up as strays so we are also offering rabbit micro chipping for £9.99,” says Catherine.

Burgess National Rabbit Week (www.nationalrabbitweek.co.uk) runs from 24th – 30th January 2009
