ANIMAL WELFARE IN WINTER
•
Outdoor accommodation needs to be protected from extremes of weather and temperature. Regularly check the accommodation and make repairs when necessary.
•
Rabbits need lots of extra bedding over the winter. Suitable bedding materials include dustfree hay and straw, on top of layers of newspaper, which absorb moisture and provide insulation.
•
Keep rabbits’ routine as normal as possible. For example, keep daily feeding and exercise times consistent, groom them regularly, give them a daily health check and spend time with them every day.
•
Rabbits must have constant access to clean, fresh drinking water. Check the supply at least
Article kindly provided by the RSPCA
As the weather gets colder, it is important to think about what we can do to help our animal friends - particularly those kept outside, like rabbits. Rabbits can have a tough time in the winter, as well as lower temperatures and bad weather, fresh grass and leafy greens may be less available, owners may be tempted to spend less time with them and there may be changes to their usual routine. It’s really important that owners ensure all their rabbits’ welfare needs are met and there are lots of things they can do to help keep their rabbits happy and healthy during the winter. A factsheet giving lots more information on caring for rabbits in the winter can be downloaded from: www. rspca.org.uk/winteradvice

twice a day to ensure water has not frozen. If using a drinking bottle, check the ball at the end of the spout is turning and squeeze the bottle to ensure water is flowing through the spout. •
If the temperature starts to reach freezing, you could consider moving them into an outhouse, shed or unused garage. Always ensure that anywhere your rabbits can access is safe and hazard-free. Never house or exercise them in garages that are in use as exhaust fumes are harmful, and don’t keep them in greenhouses due to the possibility of extreme changes in temperature.
If you are at all concerned about your rabbits, or have any questions about their welfare needs during the winter, speak to your vet.

LOCAL NEWS WHY MAKE A LASTING POWER OF ATTORNEY? Who will make decisions about your finances and health when you no longer can? We all know that we should write a Will, but too few of us know we should also consider a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) to make provision for our loss of capacity to manage our affairs during our lifetime. With an ageing population, and many more people being affected by dementia, the need to have someone in place to make decisions about your property and finances and your health and welfare, when you no longer can, is higher than ever. According to the Alzheimer’s Society there are currently around 850,000 people with dementia in the UK, affecting 1 in 6 over the age of 80. Numbers are set to rise to 1 million by 2025.

confirms that you understand it and have not been put under any pressure to sign it. The LPA must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before it can be used. WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE AN LPA? If you don’t have an LPA and become incapable of managing your affairs an application may have to be made to the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputy. This process can be very lengthy and costly. CONCLUSION
WHO CAN I APPOINT AS MY ATTORNEY? You can appoint one or more than one attorney to act on your behalf either jointly (together) or jointly and severally (independently). HOW DO I MAKE AN LPA? An LPA document needs to be completed and signed by you and your attorneys setting out any preferences and instructions. To protect your interests the LPA must be signed by a Certificate Provider who
We recommend, as do most leading charities who care for the elderly, that you have an LPA in place. LPAs are recognised by banks, building societies and other financial institutions and can be set up relatively cheaply.
