Mozzie and flea season is upon us which means rabbits are at risk for catching Myxomatosis or Calicivirus. Keep fleas and mozzies away

Vaccinate your rabbit every 9-12 months against Calicivirus to prevent this disease.

Warmer weather means more fleas so make sure you protect your ferret against fleas.
