Rabbit Code 5-Year Review
The rabbit Code was released in 2018. A review was completed by a Code Technical Panel in 2023.
The Code Technical Panel’s recommendation for this Code of Practice is that it be reaffirmed.
Proposed timeline for a Code update: 2028
Minor challenges identified:
- fixed resting mats potentially causing moisture build-up and associated damage to the cage floor
- photos of rabbits should ideally be added to Appendix B – Body Condition Scoring
assessing adherence to the feed requirement in Section 2.1 (mainly, is rabbit feed sufficient or should grass, hay, or alfalfa cubes be added to ensure a balanced and complete diet?)
