Bunny first aid items - sticky?

Ive seen a few posts about first aid items for rabbits, just wondering if we could possibly make a sticky. I was looking online for odds and sods when i found a "pet first aid kit" then did a search for bunny first aid kit.

I found this link quite helpful:

http://www.*********************.co.uk/page.asp?id=69

Just thought id share it :wave:

ETA: not sure why the link didnt work. but its on the pet extrordinarium .co.uk with no spaces obviously. Not sure why that didnt show up, you'll probably have to search the site now for "the ideal rabbits first aid kit"

I think this idea of a first aid sticky is a fab one - i posted before about a first aid kit and apparently the subject comes up a lot but i couldnt find much when searching the forum.

I've certainly seen the topic of a fisrt aid kit cropping up since my original enquiries.

Yeah, id seen your post Grin :) Thought it was a good idea, ive found that most of my first aid things have just accumulated over time.

Bit off subject, but im wondering weather i should try doing their claws myself from now on. But theyre black and i cant see the quick. :?

Corn flour is good if you get the quick ;) and wound poweder is good for drying up any minor cuts. If anyone on this thread has horses, and has ever used wondergel, do you think it would be safe to use on rabbits? Cos its probably one of the best first aid items i ever had when i had Jerry
