Rabbit Awareness Week 2026

What is RAW?

We’re getting ready for 2026’s Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) – a week dedicated to bouncing bunnies and resilient rabbits across the world.

RAW is an annual campaign which aims to educate rabbit owners on all aspects of their care. We will be bringing you a week of exclusive content over on our RAW Facebook page. Join our Excel bunnies, Hayley and Binky, throughout the week as we explore all things rabbit welfare.

Endorsed by the British Veterinary Association and the British Small Animal Veterinary Association, this year we’ll be celebrating our 20^th Anniversary!

What are the five guinea pig welfare needs?

1. Diet

Follow the Excel Feeding plan to ensure your rabbits are getting everything they need.

2. Environment

Create the perfect housing for your rabbits with plenty of space to hop around!

3. Behaviour

Discover more about what makes your rabbits tick and how to train them.

4. Companionship

Rabbits are social animals and should be kept in suitable pairs or groups.

5. Health

Know what to look out for and the signs of common health problems in rabbits.

Rabbit Awareness Week takes place online over on the RAW social channels:

These social channels are the best place to find lots of important information to share with family and friends. In the run-up to Raw and throughout the week, there will be lots of great content all about neutering and rabbit welfare.

We also work closely with Veterinary practices, who may be running special events for Rabbit Awareness Week. Check out your local veterinary practice’s social media pages to find out if they’re running anything for this year’s RAW.
