Many thanks for the advice. They are not overweight and currently spend most of their time on straw and vet bed.

Many thanks for the replies - they are indoor rabbits.

Our Rex rabbits suffer from sore hocks, can anyone suggest the best type of flooring for them to help minimise this?

Myxomatosis in Congleton, Cheshire Just found a poor wild bunny in the road with Myxomatosis in Congleton, Cheshire - took it straight to the vet to be put to sleep - please vaccinate your rabbits with urgency if you are near this area, many thanks.

Just passing on a tip we use all the time if we have a bunny with GI Stasis - it is of course important to get your bunny to the vet as soon as possible, but there is one thing you can try straight away - always make sure you have the long life Pineapple juice in your fridge and a syringe, feed...

Pineapple Juice With Gut Stasis a solution we have found which has worked on numerous occasions is to feed your bunny with a syringe with a small amount of pineapple juice in it - the juice just seems to get the gut moving - you can then feed also water and mashed up food in the syringe as...

He said the lump was towards her back end, which is why he thinks it may be related to her legs he seemed pretty sure it may be a uterine cancer as she probably has not been spayed (she was a rescue bunny so we had no idea if she has been spayed or not).

Hope someone can help with this? Our 8 year old female bunny suddenly starting to drag her hind legs on Thursday, still hopping but dragging a little, took her to the vet on Friday and he said he could feel a lump towards her back end - which he thinks could be a tumour which may be the cause...

advice gut stasis Having had gut stasis several times with different bunnies i find that two to three teaspoons of pineapple juice concentrate bought from the supermarket and put in a syringe and fed into the mouth kick starts the gut into action. The bunnies love the taste of it and it gets...

Just a word of advice to everyone about fly strike. We had a bunny a few years ago with fly strike, it was obvious because of the swarming flies around her behind etc. We always saw this as a sign of attack, but a few days ago we had a bunny with no swarming at all and yet when we examined...

Hi Thanks for the replies. We do need to bathe her regulary as she is incontinent and has a wet behind most of the time. We always thought fly strike was obvious to spot but its not, sometimes you may only get 4 or 5 maggots present from 1 fly and no swarming at all - please keep an eye on...
