    [SIZE=1] She did have teeth problems, she has seen a specialist vet quite and they are now in check, she spayed and lives with her little bonded male, she is the boss for sure! She lives in a large children's wooden playhouse that has been fully insulated etc and has lots of excercise. We...

    Dirty Bum

    She does normal poos but the ones that are getting stuck are the wet ones. She doesn't really have many teeth left after having them taken out and she's been well checked over and gets checked each time she goes to the vet ( which is quite regular) on the teeth subject as they have been such a...

    Dirty Bum

    I am at wits end with Bluebelle's bottom. I am hoping someone might have a idea that i haven't thought of. No matter what we do she has a dirty bottom and it gets worse, meaning she had lumps of hard poo all underneath her bottom and tail. She just seems to be a dirty rabbit. She's a good...

    Smelly bottom!

    Hi Happy Hop. She had another bath tonight and I managed to get some fur off her bottom. I think we may just need to bath her 3 times a week and trim her little and often. I am hoping with everywhere fly netted, rear guard, lavender around they run/ house we have a safe chance..

    Smelly bottom!

    That fearful time of year is upon us again... fly season! My biggest fear. Bluebell has already had flystrike once before and we were fortunate to get to her in time. We have been giving her regualr baths but it takes such a long time to get her dry ( she is a fluffy one) and i can't get the...

    Tips for fitting lino to the floor of the wendy house?

    I have just fitted our lino in our new rabbit playhouse. I bought it bigger and lipped it up the walls then have boarded over the top. No nail or tacks are on show and also there is no raw edges for them to chew or to get wee or poo down. :)

    Hutch and run connections help sugguestions please

    We are not far off moving the rabbits into their new play house but need to figure out the best way to let them have access from the play house into the run. There is a 5mm gap between the two and not sure the safest way to add a connection. I don't have room to make this gap between the two...

    Dirty Bottom

    I agree, my rabbit has always had a really smelly bottom she had her back teeth out last week and suddenly it seems so much better? I too wonder if it could be a dental issue. x

    Jaw / neck abscess Washing out honey

    Update. So... we got Bluebell to Southbeech Vets and after being told by the other vets that it was not tooth related, it was! There was also another pocket of infection (abscess) that we wasn't cleaning or could get to. The X-ray revealed her back tooth had snapped and crumbled. We continued...

    Jaw / neck abscess Washing out honey

    I live in Essex (south Essex) I am about to go back to the vets tonight to get something stronger to flush the abscess with. The vet seems to be happy with how things are going at the moment? No she is not on any pain relief. We did speak to him about removing the whole lot but he didn't think...

    Jaw / neck abscess Washing out honey

    Jaw / neck abscess Washing out honey

    Sadly we found a abscess on Bluebells jaw / neck last week. We are not sure why it happened but it's not tooth related. After it being lanced we have completed a week of Baydril and washing it out with salt water 2-3 times a day. We went back to the vet for a check up and its slightly in the...
