    Bonding female with existing male pair - Is it possible?

    Boarding gone wrong

    Am v depressed about my boarding lady. Have used her for two years and she started out really good, but think she is overstretching herself now and stuffing more and more hutches into her tiny garden, thinking of profit rather than welfare. When I first started boarding with her she only took...

    Squaring up to fight or just playing!?

    Casper and Charlie have had some funny behaviour the last two days. When I put them in their big run in the garden they are fine but then they start to chase each other (not really aggressive) and then they both seem to be nudging each other's bums, this is usually followed by one of them...

    Casper update

    He seems like he is doing well now. He will not have his critical care. Have managed to get about two drops down him and most of the rest all over me and my son!!! I will try again later. However, I sprinked some dried dandelion over some fresh hay and he nearly had my hand off in...

    After last week when vet said Charlie had a 50/50 chance of surviving..............

    this afternoon I have been sitting watching him racing round and round the garden! You wouldn't think that last Monday he was a sorry little bun in pain and the vet saying best thing would be to operate and if we didn't operate then if he didn't pull through with meds and fluids then it would...

    Help!! Had to take Charlie to emergency vet last night!! Had an awful night! UPDATE

    Hi all. Had to dash Charlie to the emergency vet last night as he was not himself at all, just sitting hunched, grinding teeth, eyes closed. Not good, he had been fine all day, a bit quieter than he normally is but wasn't worried. Then went to put them to bed at 10 last night and he clearly...
