Hi all, We will be taking our bunny to the vets tonight tonight but in the meantime, I thought I would ask here. I went out this afternoon to see Buttercup with lots of discharge coming from her nose, her nose looked swollen and a little dark too (but that could be her fur colouring as she is...

I know I haven't been on RU for ages but I think our buns were popular here once, and I think Muesli had some fans around here. We found out about three weeks ago that Muesli has a tumour in his liver which had spread to his intestines, we only found out by chance via a referral to a specialist...

Hi, please can anyone recommend farm baled hay near Coventry? I'm wanting to get rabbit-friendly hay as cheap as possible as we may need to start bedding Muesli on hay over his lino. Thanks in advance :wave:

Can EC "cause" sore hocks, balding of the legs (no scalding or burning) and also a weepy eye? And if not, is a fungal infection possible? Background is that Muesli has severe arthritis and hind leg muscle wastage so is susceptible to sore hocks. We have hibiscrub and cream for his hocks, we...

Our precious little man has gone into his forever sleep :cry: My husband found him this morning, lifeless next to the big pile of hay. I know Starby was a favourite with some RU folks. I'm so sad. He was a one of a kind little chap. He had just been bonded in to the most wonderful foursome...

Someone I know has recently got 2 unneutered male bunnies from a well-known stores adoption centre. They were advised to get them neutered within the next 6 months. I don't want to be heavy-handed in the advice I give my friend but at the same time I want to make sure she takes seriously the...

We are going to try bonding two of our pairs in to a foursome. (We aren't doing it, we are hoping Tracy RNGP will be able to work her magic for us! ;)). But I'd like to know from others, how do you find having a foursome? How big should their accommodation be? They will be going outside in...

I'd appreciate any advice on this one please. I went to an animal sanctuary today, all those animals seemed very well cared for and lots of space etc. It was a happy trip out until I saw a lone rabbit in one of the enclosures there. It had a reasonable sized run, not massive but not in a tiny...

Today we have finally put Kenco in his final resting place in our garden. He passed away on Boxing Day at the end of last year, but with expecting and having our baby we hadn't got around to putting his ashes in the ground. So we did it today. We have put him in where we put the ashes of Fay...

Happy birthday to Buttercup who came to live with us a year ago today! Can't believe how quickly a year has gone by since we got this pretty girl! Hopefully she will soon be bonded with Zebedee as she has been on her own since Kenco sadly passed away in December. Fingers crossed. Hope you...

As title, what would cause one ear of an adult rabbit to start flopping? Zebedee's ear on one side has started hanging down today. Is it anything to be concerned about? He seems to be his normal, happy lively self, begging for treats this morning. I dont know his exact age but he's definitely...

I know there is another thread in this section just now about a young rabbit with myxi, but a friend of a friend has just rescued a stray baby domestic bunny, it has swollen eyes, it has been taken to a vet that I know is not a rabbit specialist. They have told her it might be myxi, but it could...

I know this is long but please read Kenco's story and watch his video. Kenco (also known affectionately as Kencusson Joe, Kencs, Kencaloid, Kencasaurus, our little wizard, the soup dragon, and probably many more!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PafBO3RxcQs&feature=youtu.be We first...

As we have been grieving lots for Kenco for the last three days we have started to analyse what happened and we are feeling consumed with guilt today that we could and should have done more for our little man sooner. When we first noticed he had lost so much weight, he just didn't look himself...

Buttercup, Kenco's wifey bun, is now on her own after we lost him a couple of days ago. She is outside in their big kennel. She seems ok in herself and is eating, she is lively when she comes for her food, although she does look around the run for Kenco at first :cry: I think she is coping...

I was just wondering about the RU Rainbow Bridge candle ceremonies that used to run. I know they stopped for a reason but there is a sticky in RB for a Christmas Candle Ceremony 2011 but it doesnt look like there was one for 2012. I was wondering if there would be any interest in one running...

I am worried about my little old man Kenco. He is 8 and a half. He has been losing weight over the last few months and this is usually a sign of him needing a dental. He last had a dental in around September time. We started to feed him and Buttercup separately, and been giving Kenco lots...

Some of you may remember my recent thread about a stray black bunny that was spotted at Spring Road station, in Birmingham. (See here for more info if not: http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?367632-Anyone-nr-Spring-Road-station-Birmingham-Stray-bunny-U-D-No-sign-of-the-other-one)...

Two years ago today we adopted Muesli from Tracy at RNGP Welfare, so happy 6th birthday little man! Its been a laugh a minute since we have had you, you are so cheeky and loveable. We feel so lucky that we got to adopt you, and Starbuck is very, very lucky to have you as his best buddy, as you...

I've just been on Facebook and saw a post made by a friend of mine yesterday to say that a bunny had been spotted on the platform of Spring Road Station, in the outskirts of Birmingham. I've seen a picture and it looks a domestic bunny, rather than a wildie. Obviously it has already been out...
