The Animal Welfare Act 2006 is a piece of legislation and a code of practice to help protect the welfare of pets and domestic animals. The legislation includes the Five Welfare Needs, the main purpose of which is to provide guidance of an owner’s responsibility towards their pet.
Below, we look at the Five Welfare Needs, and how they can be put into practice:
1. Need for a suitable environment.
The environment is the pets housing.
Rabbits need lots of space, and constant access to an area where they can run, hop and binky (a binky is a joyful leap in the air). There also needs to be suitable space for rabbits living together, places for rabbits to hide, an area for their food, their toys and a comfortable sleeping area. Other considerations need to be taken into account to ensure a suitable living environment, such as, the temperature and time of year, and how this can change the pet’s needs. For example, rabbits will need extra bedding in the winter and access to shaded areas in the summer.
2. Need for a suitable diet.
Each different species of pet will have a different diet. Not only are diets different between species, but diet will also change depending on where the pet is in their life stage. Young and old animals have different requirements for their diet. Pregnant and nursing animals will need extra nutrients, and pets with medical conditions might have special diets to aid with the management of their health.
A rabbit’s diet must consist of 80 – 90% hay, which is not only good for digestion, but also what rabbits need to help prevent their teeth from overgrowing. Rabbits also need feed pellets, fresh greens and fresh water every day.
3. Need to exhibit normal behaviour patterns.
The normal behaviour patterns for each pet and domestic animal will be different, for example some animals are nocturnal (active at night), diurnal (active during the day), or crepuscular (active at twilight).
The normal behaviour patterns for rabbits which they need to exhibit to help maintain a healthy life include running, hopping and binkying, eating for a large portion of the day, having the ability to hide when they feel scared, being able to dig, and being part of an appropriate social group.

4. Need to be housed with, or apart, from other animals.
Each species is different in relation to what their appropriate social grouping is. Some pets, such as the Syrian hamster, should live on his or her own.
Rabbits are very social animals, and are therefore best cared for when they are homed with at least one other rabbit.
5. Need to be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease.
The need to be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease covers a lot of the day-to- day care of any pet. Pet owners need to ensure they are feeding the appropriate diet, providing a suitable environment, providing suitable companions for your pet, and ensuring suitable preventative measures are taken to reduce the risk of illness.
Rabbits can get a condition called flystrike in the warmer months. Flystrike occurs when flies are attracted to an animal’s rear end when covered in urine or faeces. Flystrike can be prevented with daily checks and ensuring bedding is kept clean and dry. Pet owners need to ensure pets are kept warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. Rabbits will need extra bedding in the cooler months, and their run will need protection from the sun in the warmer weather. It is also the owner’s responsibility to ensure their pet receives the appropriate veterinary care when required.
