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.
