    For anyone who uses VetUK own brand rabbit pellets - they have been discontinued...

    Shimmer recommended them during the first lockdown when we were all having trouble getting food due to stockpiling (the rest of the world was gathering loo roll, RUers collecting bunny food!) I have been using them since and at £9.99 per 10kg a very welcome find. However, I thought I would...

    Candle Ceremony 2022

    Just taking a moment to remember our special friends that we have lost during 2022. For my own little family, I remember: Olly, who left me totally unexpectedly back in March. I found him collapsed, having suffered a heart attack. I had no idea he was anything other than a robust 7-year-old...

    Arthur, problems urinating

    I took my poor baby to the vets today as he was all wet underneath and looked very sore /swollen around his genital area. The vet couldn't get his penis to pop out :cry: It looked so sore down there. He is being sedated and Ruth will be trying to find his manhood during her lunch break. If she...

    Nobivac Myxo-RHD PLUS

    Have everyone's bunnies gone over onto this now? Did you do it willingly or have any reservations? I had a batch of bunnies done with it earlier this week - they were all due the myxomatosis/RHD1 jab, they are a few months off being 'due' for Filovac. I now have 12 bunnies due RHD2...

    New family member...

    So following on from helpful discussion about whether or not lockdown and collecting pets was compatible... I found a bunny locally who was "free to good home".. or just any home in fact... So I went to get her this morning. She is from Laneshawe Bridge, where I used to get my hay so no...

    I would welcome inspiration on mending my aviary roof ....

    I built the aviary (very crude structure) about 15 years ago, my DIY skills have improved massively in that time. When I put the plastic sheets on the roof I had to join them (one metre wide), I did this by having a strip of wood underneath and a strip of wood on top and putting screws through...

    Baffled by behaviour/change in appetite

    Not really sure how to describe it expect "behaviour change" ...*alarm bells* I have noticed in the last few evenings that Arthur has been laid in 'loaf' position with his head facing the leg of a metal table. He had loads of space so there's no need for him to have his nose pressed against...

    Bunnies with the first pickings of the Purple Tree Collard...

    Elias: Arthur: Gilbert: (Gilbert's is sliced as he has no incisors) Not the best photos but a landmark moment that I am very proud to share. :love: It was five minutes from being picked to being fed and the bunnies absolutely loved it. It felt so much better than taking mediocre...

    ... Just taking a poorly Barnaby to the vets.

    It's the first food refusal episode of lockdown but it had to happen. I have been observing him for just over an hour and he has gone for quiet to flopping and shaking. Setting off now.

    Fate seems to be conspiring again... she's gone

    So, first day in my new job. Trying so hard not to be paranoid about leaving the rabbits as I haven't needed to for four years. Train travel - only 2nd time in 20 years, went to a location I'm not familiar with for training. I don't 'get out much' so I found it very stressful. I got home...

    Hi All I'm on the look out for reliable insurance again. I just wondered if anyone can share their experience of claiming with Agria or what the year-on-year premium increases are like? In the distant past Agria quotes always seemed to be higher than others so never ventured there but...

    Incisor removal, regrowing peg teeth

    So, Gilbert my gorgeous Thrianta boy had his incisors removed on 15 November. I've recently become aware of his peg teeth having grown back. He seems to be eating fine, he eats huge gobfuls of hay! He does have a bit of bother picking up small food like pellets and greens but I guess not...

    Sad first anniversary: My beautiful Alma is very, very unwell. RIP sweetheart

    I've not talked about her on here at all but I have talked about her to close friends. I only got her August, she was just short of a year old. I found two Thriantas listed on free ads, brother and sister, living separately as they hadn't been neutered, she had had an accidental pregnancy...
