Picking up my new Bunnies tom after loosing my babies to myxi

Young Bun
Hi everyone. Your probably remember me!

Well I went into Pets at home yesterday and they had these 2 gorgeous baby boys. White with black patches on them, kind of lionheads. I thought about them all night and morning so went back this morning and they were still there. The woman said they r not ready until tomorrow but I asked her if she could hold them for me and she said yes she would!

They were abandoned in a garden, 2 boys, will have to have them neutrered and definately myxi jab. I am going to keep them indoors for now.

Im so so scared though that they will catch myxi like my other ones did. I am thinking of buying a new indoor cage for them, will have a new hutch outside but the old bunnies had a playhouse (plastic) with run attached and wondering if i disinfect it all could I still use it?

Bunnies will be vacinated every 6 months!
 
You can use a vet quality disinfectant and that should be fine. Myxi jabs are very important.

Be aware that two boys can fight and so may need to live separately. Are you able and willing to do that if necessary?
 
Yes of course. But hopefully after they have been neutered they will be ok. My other 2 were neutered and lived together just fine.

Myxi jabs are a definate here and they willo be living inside for a while
