I wasn't sure whether this should go in bonding or in health.
Bertie had ec earlier in the year, it affects his eyes, he had a 28 day course of lapizole at the time. We lost Ruby in August and in October I got betsy, a baby bunny, to bond with Bertie.on the advice of my vet, both are on a 28 day course of lapizole which is due to finish on the 4th December. I was going to wait until after then to bond them but with this cold weather and betsy being so tiny, is it safe to bond before the course is finished? I bond slowly, so the bunnies will be having dates in the run until I can put them in the hutch together overnight.
I'm worri d about betsy being cold. She is fluffy so I think her winter coat has grown, she has a lot of hay in her hutch (though the hutch isn't very good - thin wood - and she has a cardboard box with hay for a bed as the partition broke). She also has a snuggle safe at nights and hutch is covered in tarpaulin.
Bertie has a nice thick welfare hutch and he has a thick coat so I'm not too concerned about him in the cold weather
