Microchipping a rabbit is the process of implanting a chip under the rabbits skin and registering the keepers details on a national database so that the rabbits keeper can be traced.

Although microchipping rabbits is not mandatory like it will be shortly for dogs, it is still advisable that all responsible rabbit owners/breeders make sure their rabbits are microchipped and that their details are kept up-to-date on the microchipping database.

When buying or adopting a rabbit that is microchipped, make sure the seller gives you the paperwork that accompanies the pets microchip, and that you contact the microchip company to update your details as the registered keeper of the pet within 21 days.

This includes all commercial selling of pet animals, including pet shops and businesses selling animals over the internet. This can be any types of pets, from cats, rabbits, rodents and other pets. *

* The decision as to whether you are classed as “in the business” of breeding and selling dogs, or selling animals as pets is decided by your local council and the requirements vary between each local council authority. Many local authorities apply a business test which they will use to determine whether an individual requires a license.
