Yesterday Gypsy got a new boyfriend- Frodo. We got him from our local rabbit rescue and I was advised he was kept in a hutch that was far too small for him so he was unable to stretch his legs properly, therefore they are poorly conditioned.
The rescue I got him from are very good with vet checks and things and advised me that the vets have said this stiffness should ease up in time and with plenty of space. He has been aged by vets at approx. 5 years old but the way his poor legs are he looks older, bless him.
My question is, apart from having full run of my house (which he now has) is there anything else I can do for my new little man to help him with his rehabilitation? I have given dogs/ rats cod liver oil for joint problems in the past, but as buns are veggies Im stumped as to what I can do to speed up recovery for my little man. Any suggestions are very welcome!
