    UTI?

    I have an 11 month old unspayed female, I've noticed a few drops of blood around the shed and her urine is very dark orange/brown. I'm not too worried about her wee but the blood is worrying me a bit, there's not a lot but there's also no injuries on her so I was thinking maybe a UTI? I'm going...

    Rabbit smelling of urine

    I got a new rabbit a few days ago, a Continental giant. The problem is she absolutely stinks of urine! She's dry, and I've just given the shed a really good scrub and changed all bedding but I'm not sure what else to do. She spends most of her time in the castle (a big hidey house) which I...

    Female rabbit swollen genitals

    Jelly is on medication which means she wees more, she often will sit in it. I clean her shed regularly and it hasn't been too bad but today it's been quite bad. I've just brought her in and cleaned her up and I noticed her genitals look swollen on one side to me. I'm not sure what they are...

    Spring fever or something else?

    My male, Felix has been quite grumpy the last 2 months. He bit my partner and he regularly grunt and lunges at us (it doesn't seem too bad, I just stay still and he stops by me he doesn't bite or anything (apart from that one occasion with my partner) he just seems very grumpy. He is neutered...

    Jellys heart issues and sore hocks

    Jelly has a heart condition and is on frusol and pimobendan 3x daily. The side effects of this means she wees a lot more and I don't know if she wees on herself or just sits in it but she's often got a wet back end or smells like pee. She lives in the shed and the floor is non slip lino and she...

    Shed flooring

    I currently have garage floor matting in the shed but despite regular sweeping and mopping it’s never very clean. Jelly is on frusol and pimobendan which makes her pee a lot more. What can I change the flooring to? Ideally something I can sweep and mop

    Vetline Respiratory food

    https://www.miscota.co.uk/small-animals/cunipic/pr-118422 Has anyone tried this? I really want to do more for Jelly but aside from doing bloods (which the vet doesn't think will show up anything) we don't really know what to do. She's got a heart condition and she struggles with breathing...

    Grunting around food

    My rabbit Felix grunts at Jelly when there's food, I think it's grunting. I've only noticed it over the past couple of weeks. It's only when foods around, is he just being assertive because he wants food or should I get him checked in case it's something else? Both rabbits are eating well and he...

    Readigrass instead of hay

    I know it is quite fattening, but both my rabbits are underweight anyway. They will always have hay in their bedding so I guess it's not instead of hay but can I fill their hay racks up everyday with readigrass or should I be careful not to overfeed it?

    Storing hay

    How's best to store hay? I order from online places and it's delivered in cardboard boxes but it's going bad before the bunnies can finish it. I've started buying smaller amounts (5kg boxes rather than 20kg) but it's still going bad before it's eaten

    What’s best for Jelly?

    Jelly has a heart condition and is on daily medication. She lives in a shed with attached run with another bunny, Felix. Some days she seems to stay in bed most of the day, she used to come indoors sometimes and is so much more active indoors and I don’t know if it’s because she’s more...

    Shed flooring

    What are you using on the floors of your sheds? I’ve tried a vinyl flooring and some interlocking square things. The vinyl lasted longer than the black square things but I just can’t keep it clean, I’m sweeping and mopping regularly. Would laminate be better? Any other suggestions?

    Injury from another rabbit

    So I unexpectedly gained another rabbit on Sunday, I’ve named him Frankie. I built him a separate pen in the shed and all was ok. Unfortunately the pen was not as secure as I’d thought and Jelly got in him with overnight on Wednesday night. I went to see them in the morning and he had some...

    Caring for a rabbit with heart problems

    Jelly has heart issues, she was diagnosed with it a couple of years ago and she is on frusol and pimobendan. The vet says she’s ok, a little underweight which I’m working on. Has anyone else had a rabbit with heart problems and found anything else that helps? I worry about her quality of life...

    Yellow feet

    Where am I going wrong? Felix and Jelly’s feet are so yellow. They live in the shed and they have garage matting that clicks together as their flooring and litter trays that have wooden cat litter in them. They also have blankets in different places but they don’t pee on them. Every day I sweep...

    Urine stained fur

    So Jelly is on some medication for a heart condition and one of the side effects of this medication is she pees more. I don’t know if she sits in it or if it just goes on her fur but her back legs are stained. I clean them out fully twice a week and every day I sweep and clean up anything (it’s...

    Setting up rabbit boarding

    I currently run a pet care business, cat/small pet feeds, dog walking etc. and I enjoy it but rabbits and guinea-pigs are my favourites. I’d like to set up some kind of boarding at my home. I’ve got a medium sized garden, my bunnies and piggies have their own shed so I was thinking of getting...

    Flooring for shed

    The flooring for the shed is worn so I’m going to get another one but I’m not sure what to go for. It was an off cut of vinyl flooring, is it best to go for this again or is there something better?

    Can rabbits eat roses?

    I was given a lovely bunch of roses recently, and they're on their last legs now, can the rabbits have them or not? Seems a shame to throw them away if the bunnies could enjoy them
