Burgess Pet Care launches Great British Rabbit Census
 |
Burgess Pet Care has launched a new national online census, The Great British Rabbit Census, which was unveiled on International Rabbit Day (Saturday).
The family-owned brand hopes the new survey will mobilise more rabbit owners in the UK than ever before, with questions focusing mainly around the five welfare needs of rabbits.
Burgess Pet Care demonstrates its commitment to the welfare of Britain’s bunnies through its annual delivery of Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW), which highlights important welfare issues and encourages responsible ownership year on year.
The Great Rabbit Census is running for the next eight weeks. Each entrant will receive a discount on products purchased from the Burgess website, as well as being in with the chance to win a Burgess Pet Care Rabbit Hamper and Runaround Connection Kit.
Alex Thorne of Burgess Pet Care, said: “We know from RAW every year that there are a lot of rabbit owners out there who are absolutely devoted to their pets – you can see that from Twitter alone!
"Unfortunately, rabbits remain one of the most misunderstood animals in the UK, with many rabbit owners failing to understand the correct nutritional needs of their rabbits.
“We’re looking to find out as much about rabbits and their owners in the UK as possible to address these key issues.”
The Great British Rabbit Census only takes a short time to complete but covers everything from the rabbit’s diet to behaviours to how their names were chosen.
Alex added: “This is the perfect day to launch the census, as rabbit owners all over the world will be joined in their celebration of these adorable family pets.
"We’re calling on rabbit owners all over the UK to help us throw the spotlight on Britain’s bunnies and understand them better than ever before.”
