New Kit
Hello all,
I adopted two bunnies just after Christmas, and having read a lot of threads about care/diet, I don't know if I should be concerned about Daisy. When they went for their vaccinations 3 weeks ago, the vet said she seems a bit pot bellied and to keep an eye on her. Her behaviour has only improved (after the stress of being re-homed and then being taken to the vets) and she dashes around and occasionally lovingly harasses her devoted but neutered husband, so I don't see anything in that to worry about.
I have noticed that she does indeed look pot bellied: however she is a lion head crossed with netherland dwarf (we think) so her body does look a wee bit big for her head and I simply can't decide if the pot belly is a problem. She eats (fresh veg, hay, pellets) and drinks fine, and I've seen her use the litter tray without a problem.
They are due to go in for VHD, and she will need spayed soon - does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom?
