I don’t know the full layout of the house and how many other rooms you have downstairs, but if it’s small/medium you are going to really struggle to satisfy both the rabbits’ need for space and the dogs’ need to be with you by having them in the lounge, because the dogs can’t be in there when...

It’s possible they are between litters right now, or perhaps they don’t usually live together and the seller just wanted rid of both. Take them to the vet asap to confirm the sex and to discuss neutering them. Bear in mind males are fertile for 8 weeks after neutering so this needs doing asap...

I would recommend contacting Catherine09, she ran a lovely boarding business in Hants. She is no longer running it so can probably give you both sides of it.

Yes that’s perfectly normal. Neutering can lessen it but plenty of neutered rabbits will continue to do some poops outside the litter tray. It’s territorial marking. Generally a bunny is still considered litter trained if they wee and do most of their poops inside the tray, it is normal for them...

Thanks everyone, I have ordered the dyson v10 absolute today :)

How big is it? If it is small, and he lives with another rabbit, it sounds like a healed bite wound. I would give them a thorough check over and feel through all their fur for other lumps and scabs. When humping, rabbits will sometimes bite the upper back/neck of the other rabbit to hold on...

We have a Hetty but it’s so heavy and clunky, I want to get a cordless hoover for touch-ups in the bunny room between big cleans. Any recommendations?

Has he been treated at all with antibiotics? Or had his tear duct flushed (especially if nethie, lion head, lop or another flatter-faced breed). In my experience non rabbit-savvy vets often diagnose minor respiratory infections as allergies. Snuffles does not have to be full blown sneezing...

I wouldn’t even give them the benefit of doubt - you need to find a new vet. Advising you to starve a rabbit means that they don’t see enough of them, or are badly trained - both can mean bad care for your bunny. Starving a rabbit from 7pm means that, by the time they come round from the...

I would recommend Manor Pet Housing, although you’ll have a few weeks wait whilst they build it. I would not recommend p@h hutches, in my experience they were flimsy and succumbed very easily to chewing by the bunnies. They do now have a couple of 6ft ones that would do short-term, but I...

Don’t worry, a lot of the treats sold in pet shops are not suitable really for bunnies. I always read the ingredients carefully now. I think most people have made that mistake with dried corn before, I certainly have - so don’t feel bad - as long as the bunnies are still pooping and eating...

I would recommend trying to bond them (once they’ve been neutered and the hormones have died down), or else getting a doe partner for each one. You’ve got some time before you can bond them, so after they have recovered from their neuters I would start swapping them over into the others’...

Our bunny room has non-slip vinyl flooring, as it is easy to clean and sweep. We also have vet bed and blankets to make it cosier. It depends what your laminate is like, but some bunnies can walk fine on non-slip laminate, so you might not need anything outside of the cage. Whilst...

I don’t know what the half life is, I believe as Jacks Jane says it is thought that rabbits metabolise it quicker than other animals. My new vet, an exotic specialist, prescribed twice-daily metacam for our bunnies (for wounds from fighting, a bad back and now an anti inflammatory for possible...

I would also wait, or adopt an already neutered buck. The buck will be fertile around 12 weeks old and your doe shortly after. Bucks are fertile for 4-8 weeks after neutering. You should be able to get your doe spayed at 4-6 months. Some vets are happy to spay at 16 weeks but some like to wait...

I have a Rex prone to sore hocks also - we found that carpet was awful for sore hocks. I buy these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GY74FAO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_I4gEBbR8S0P0T They can only be washed at 40c because of the non slip backing but they always come out perfectly clean. One of the...

You need to get Binky neutered before bonding them. After neutering, he’ll need a minimum of 8 weeks for the hormones to die down before bonding. You are very unlikely to be successful at bonding them whilst one is not neutered, as he is sexually mature and full of hormones at 8 months...

I went to see John yesterday, and he has recommended 6 monthly vaccines for vhd 2 if the bunnies will be going somewhere with lots of bunnies, like boarding or a show. Mine are booked in for boarding in a month so they have now had a booster.

Do you know what has set them off? It seems odd that they have gotten along for so long before falling out. Have you introduced a new pet into the house, have you moved where their cage is or changed their cage, has one been ill or had to go to the vets? It sounds like they are getting along...

My major concern with a bunny not being able to eat hay would be their gut health - particularly as you say she has stopped eating properly. Bunnies need to keep their gut moving constantly, or it can go into stasis/ileus- one of the main functions of hay in a pet rabbit’s diet is to ensure they...
