I noticed that too :?

Also, you mention

Every 4/5 females will develop uterine cancer if they are not breeding

<Neutering> also prevents your bunny from getting cancer from not breeding

I don't know if it's how you said it, but it sounds like you are implying that rabbits get cancer if they don't breed...

good start to a blog as mentioned above, there are a few things to work on though

when talking about myxy vaccs

Depending on how fatal the disease is in your area, you will either get it every 6 months or a yearly one.

they shouldn't only have a yearly vac, wherever in the country they are. much better and much safer to give the 6 monthly booster

A few weeks after the operation, they are able to share a hutch with another female or male bunny. At first they will try to be the dominant rabbit, but after a while this should go away. From what I have been told, a male and a female will get on best.

a bit about the correct way to bond 2 bunnies together would be great here. also mentioning about the fact that it takes 6 weeks for a male to become infertile after his op.

On either side of the anus there is a scent gland. Your bunnies scent goes onto the round waste as it passes. They will use these to mark their territory.

not sure if that part is true, but i do know they mark territory by using their chin to mark objects, maybe a mention of that

also, it might be useful if you got someone to have a read through and check the grammar and spelling

OK thanks I will have a look at all the mistakes!

Oh yes, good thing Snowball picked up on there. When introducing 2 rabbits it should be on neutral terratory- there is lots of information on bonding rabbits on here.

Couple more things now I've had a good read through:

-You mention Myxi vaccinations but not VHD, maybe mention that too?

-When you talk about water bottles, you could say you can offer bowls as well, as some buns prefer this (mine refuse to touch a bottle now!)

-In the food bit, you mention hay is important, maybe quote the '80% of diet should be hay'. You could always ask on here for typical rabbit diets and use them as examples?

-A couple of times you mention pictures, but I can't see any...

-Maybe mention the accomodation requirements for a rabbit? This is something a lot of people don't know.

-In the exercise section, you say 'It is good to let your bunny be in their pen or in the garden for at least 1 hour'- I think it is recommended at least 4 now?

Hope you don't mind these comments! I'll let you know if I think of anything else... Looking good so far though :wave:

OK thanks I guess the more help the better!

I was going to take some pictures and add them in but I forgot...
