Rabbit Interactive, Edinburgh 17th June and 18th 2017
2017 will see us at: The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies.
Once again we are offering world class rabbit specific CPD from a host of Specialist Educators. Don’t miss out! We won’t be back in Edinburgh until 2020!
As always there will be a Vet Stream and an Owner Stream, but this year there is the added bonus of a whole day dedicated to behaviour too.
If you have any questions please contact us via rabbitinteractive@rabbitwelfare.co.uk
Questions for the Q&A session must be submitted before the Conference so that full answers may be formulated. As always, questions about your own rabbits and their health care cannot be accepted and we can only answer general questions.
