Vaccinations

There are two fatal diseases that affect rabbits, which can be vaccinated against: Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD)

Myxomatosis: this disease can be transmitted by blood sucking insects, e.g., fleas and other biting insects.

A vaccine is available from 6 weeks of age and a booster should be given every 6 months. It is important that both indoor and outdoor rabbits are vaccinated.

Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD): this disease can be transmitted by direct and indirect contact via insects, birds, rodents, people and their clothing. It can survive for at least 3 months on clothing.

A vaccination is available from 10 weeks of age and a booster should be given every 12 months.

We also recommend that passive carriers such as insects, birds, rodents and other animals should be kept away from the rabbit's environment and green foods should not be picked from areas frequented by wild rabbits.
