    Do rabbits feel the cold?

    Our mini lop Mac spends the nights inside in a hutch in the conservatory (which cools to about 7 - 10 degrees in this cold weather) and has the run of the garden in the day with a hutch he can hop in and out of. The outside hutch has an insulated room and open area. In this cold snowy weather he...

    Chewing problem

    He does eat grass when he's out but I will cut down on the food to encourage him to eat his hay.

    Chewing problem

    He'll be 2 in March. His teeth are fine at the moment. Probably all his chewing other things.....

    Chewing problem

    He has loads of hay which he pretty much ignores. He has plenty to chew on in the garden and has his favorite bushes plus branches from our apple tree. He does seem to chew more when he comes in though.

    Chewing problem

    Mac is a 2 year old neutered male rescue bunny. He spends days out in the garden and comes into the house when it's dark. He's friendly, very good about using his litter tray when inside but has one failing - he chews anything. His favourites are my wife's handbags and electric cables which...

    Stroking places

    Mac, our rescue lop, has developed a strange habit of having what we call 'stroking places' around the house and garden. For example if he jumps on his hutch or goes to a particular flower bed, or next to his litter tray plus another couple of places inside, he lets you stroke and brush him and...

    He hates being picked up

    That's not Mac in the avatar, it's Luna who preceeded Mac but unfortunately was killed by a fox (caught and moved 25 miles away). She was a real sweetie with any guys but wouldn't tolerate any female in the garden. My wife and daughter would get charged at, growled at and head butted but my son...

    He hates being picked up

    The thing is we have to pick him up each night to put him in his indoor hutch. He comes in from the garden at dusk and is an indoor bunny until we go to bed. We tried leaving him in the house at night but lost all the phone charger cables and network cables so have no option but to put him in...

    He hates being picked up

    We got Mac from a rescue home in March this year at 1 year old. He wasn't mistreated at his first home, but started fighting with his brother. He's very friendly, loves a good stroke, and is well behaved (apart from chewing through cables) and is an indoor and outdoor bunny. The one thing he...

    Paper eating

    Mac, our neutered boy eats any paper he can find including newspaper. It's not hunger as he's well fed a variety of different foods. Is this normal?

    No females allowed

    Our deaf (spayed) female mini lop, Luna, is a real character and has decided that the garden which she has free run in, is not to have any other females in it. If my wife or daughter go outside they are charged, head butted, bitten and growled at. The same goes with our two female cats who are...

    Eating plants in garden

    OK, today I dug up the Lily of the Valley and Bluebells. We have others in the part of the garden she doesn't have access to. Our garden is quite walled in and she's locked away at night.

    Eating plants in garden

    Our mini lop, Luna, has the run of our garden with her hutch always open for her to go in and out. She always has a bowl of food in there but prefers "eating out". She completely ate a bed of Lily of the Valley last autumn and has started munching on the shoots now as they are coming up again...

    Bunny chasing cat

    Our 3 cats keep well away from Luna, our deaf mini lop, when in the garden which she has full use off. She charges them and will even bite them if she can. Inside it's a different story. I often have cat and rabbit asleep on my lap together. I guess it's a territory thing. Luna considers the...
