Bradford small livestock show held 20/21 January at Doncaster racecourse
Although there were six adults and one U/5 rabbit were entered only two adults and one U/5 were at the show.
Due to the gap between entering and the show date, it is not always possible to predict what a rabbit might do in that time, some chew, some get stained through excess wetting, and if you feel your rabbit is not up to scratch you dont take it.
