I was so worried she would die! She is a stubborn and tough little rabbit though and that has shown these last few weeks

Thank you. I’ll get some of that and try it. I do have a cat. She has decided that she is now mainly an indoor cat. She is 15 and doesn’t like the cold and wet but might fancy a sunbathe in the garden on hot days. She won’t come into close contact with the rabbits as they live outdoors so it...

Ah, I put the update at the top in the original post :) After 2.5 weeks of antibiotics twice a day betsy seems to have made an amazing recovery! I’ve just got back from the vets who seemed genuinely amazed she has recovered so well. No pus oozing out. Swelling has gone down and lumps have...

:)

Betsy seems to be doing well with the antibiotics. She is stubborn though and we have to tap her on the nose to make her jump so she swallows them! Still eating loads and has been hopping around in the run and in the tubes so I’m hoping this is all good signs and she doesn’t feel too bad.

Bertie is 10 and he is blind in one eye due to a cataract. He has had it since around a year old. He gets on fine. Makes him easier to pick up as I just come at him from his blind side. His good eye has a white mark on it and has done for a long while, vet doesn’t think his vision is the best in...

yes the vet clipped the matted fur away on Monday but couldn’t get it all as the fur had got wet and the clippers wouldn’t go through it. She managed to get the remainder off this morning. As she is being medicated twice a day we are checking her bum now when we get her out.

Thank you for your reply tonibun. I just feel so bad I didn’t notice it sooner :( but from the looks of it the vet said it has probably only just recently popped and started leaking pus so i wouldn’t have noticed it sooner as it’s internal. She has a check up at the vets mid January and no...

UPDATE After 2.5 weeks of antibiotics twice a day betsy seems to have made an amazing recovery! I’ve just got back from the vets who seemed genuinely amazed she has recovered so well. No pus oozing out. Swelling has gone down and lumps have reduced. There is still a swollen lump near her bottom...

Thanks for your reply :) I’m really close to gedling but couldn’t find anywhere there. I think Stonebridge do do boarding, I had forgotten about them. The thing with Stonebridge is I think it might be a bit noisy with the visitors, I’m not sure if they have anywhere separate and quiet for the...

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any boarding recommendations in Nottingham? I’m looking specifically for boarders and not people that come to your house. I have a friend who can pop in and check the rabbits if needed but I’d prefer boarding. My usual boarder (she runs a cattery and takes small...

I could try and set up deterants, that is a good idea! Foxes - we have heard them occasionally, particularly late on winter nights, but not often at all. The 2.5 meter high wire fencing at the back which has prickly bushes growing through it is a pretty good deterrent I think. The only way a...

Oh no :( I thought I was doing best for them by allowing them to free range. We only bunny proofed the garden last summer so they have only just gained their freedom! I’m not going to be able to fit a big enough aviary run in the garden. Too much kids stuff in it including an enormous climbing...

We have had 2 magpies living nearby for at least a year. I think they live next door. That house is currently empty and for sale. My bunnies free range daily until night time. A few months ago I saw a magpie creep up on Bertie and peck out some of his fur. He is blind in one eye so wouldn’t...

Thank you for your replies. We have a lot of Ivy at the end of the garden but have that section completely blocked off as I don’t trust the bunnies to keep away from the shed. If they wedged themselves behind it we would never get them out! It’s only a tiny bit next to my back door. I have...
