Question from a bunny novice!

But just managed to get the buns briefly on their backs for the first time to do underneath/foot check and noticed they both have little pink lump on heels, is this what hocks normally look like on close inspection or could it be start of sore hocks?
 
Bunnies do have a hairless circle right on their heel usually it's got thick fur across it abit like a comb over :)
 
Phew :)

Thanks! Just wanted to check, not had close look at feet since Jill brought them over!

I think they have fallen out with me for turning them over though :( They won't come out from the corner of their cage at the moment, despite offering their evening veg and a little bit of banana as a special treat to make up for it... :cry:

I knew they wouldn't like it but I thought I'd better get round to having a check.

I hope they are my friends again soon... :?
 
Awww, I'm sure they'll forgive you soon :) They can really sulk when they set their minds to it!
