Calling pet rabbit owners... Thursday next week (the 17th of May) there is a rabbit vaccination day in Paraparaumu. The new variant of the rabbit killing virus RCD (www.stuff.co.nz...), is currently being spread across the country.

If you want to protect your kids' rabbits you need to get them vaccinated as soon as possible. The vaccine comes in vials with enough for 10 rabbits and must be used or discarded then and there. There are 7 bunnies booked in for Thursday at Wellpet Kapiti (including my kids' bunny) meaning there is enough for 3 more rabbits to be protected.

If you miss out on this vaccination day then you'll either have to wait for another or pay for a whole vial yourself which from what I understand is about $150... ouch.

Having a poor night’s sleep?

We caught up with Dr Angela Campbell, PhD Manager of the WellSleep Centre, University of Otago, Wellington and she provided us with some insights into the most common symptoms women might experience whilst going through menopause, which are insomnia, hot flushes, snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea. Dr Campbell states, “these are all common side effects of menopause and can affect up to 70% of women.” So, if you’re experiencing sleepless nights and suddenly disturbing your partner with this new-found snoring, you’re certainly not alone.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, you might be interested to learn that Patney offer an effective, non-invasive and temperature neutral solution that can assist with controlling your snoring - the Patney sleep positioner, has undergone independent validation testing by the WellSleep Centre, Otago University.
