Young Bun
Hello beautiful bunny lovers!
Just need some advice really. Being that I have two Rex rabbits, I know they're more prone to sore hocks. Poppy never seems to have a problem, but Storm does. I lay extra bedding down...etc, but every so often his left back paw always manages to wear right down to the skin. It doesn't split, but you can see a bald patch. Than his fur grows back, it's like a never ending cycle. I just don't wanna get to the point where he has bleeds and all that. Any suggestions on how to improve the cushion for his paws?
I'm building two ramps, and pinning a some carpet on top of their hutch (where he jumps onto like crazy) in the hopes this will soften everything for him (and Poppy too, of course!)
Any help I'm grateful for.
