What Will You Learn?

Incredibly popular pets, rabbits are social, intelligent, and cute animals. However, there is a common misconception that rabbits are easy to look after, and therefore people often don’t understand the commitment involved in taking them on.

The Rabbit Care, Behaviour and Welfare Diploma Course provides in-depth guidance on the care needs of rabbits, including their physical and mental health, nutritional requirements, behaviours, housing, and living requirements.

Discover the origins and domestication of rabbits, along with the most common breeds and whether a rabbit makes a good pet. Learn the essential anatomy and physiology of rabbits and the benefits of their unique bodily systems.

Explore the nutritional requirements of rabbits – what is important in their diet and what should be avoided – and how to keep rabbits happy and healthy. Examine appropriate housing (both indoor and outdoor) and living requirements, how to keep them stimulated, and how to correctly handle and groom them.

Gain knowledge of the legal requirements of owners, including the five freedoms and the laws regarding rabbit welfare. Discover the importance of preventative healthcare, including vaccinations, neutering, flea and worm treatment, and pet insurance. Learn to recognise common health problems and the signs of an unwell rabbit.

The Rabbit Care, Behaviour and Welfare Diploma Course concludes with an examination of the most common assumptions made about rabbits and whether these are true or false.

By studying this course, you will learn about:

  • The origins, domestication and different breeds of rabbits
  • Rabbit health, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and behaviour
  • Rabbit accommodation, living requirements and mental enrichment
  • The legal requirements of rabbit ownership
  • The importance of preventative healthcare and common health problems in rabbits
