my oh was putting rabbits in for the night and Gizmo wasnt able to jump up into hutch as well -so im sitting on bed with him now checking him over hind legs -very red at 'heels' not broken no fluid is this what is meant by sore hocks?? not of my buns ever had this.
 
newspaper and straw in bed part of hutch then newspaper wood shavings in open part. the run is 1/4flagged rest of it mud at minute with so much rain but he has been climbing up on hutch and jumping into garden over past few wks
 
Angel one of my bunnies has sore hocks,her run was on flags.I put down rubber stable matting and it does seem to have done the trick.
You do need to try and keep her hocks dry though.
Sudacreme is good for sore hocks or any other baby nappy rash cream:D
 
I have three bunnies and one of them almost always has sore hocks--though only no fur on the back heels and redness, nothing bleedy.
I wonder if she gets this because she is the most active (she's my climber) or because she has different fur--almost Rex like--or maybe both. I try to keep her nails short, but I hate to cut them because I am paranoid of hurting her.
I put antibacterial cream on her hocks. Is nappy cream better though?
