    In one word describe rabbits

    deceiving! - as in they look so cute and cuddly but in reality they are v. high maintenance and not into cuddles generally - if all prospective owners knew this, we'd have less abandonment and neglect!

    2 girls or 2 boys??

    I have a girl and a boy who luckily love each other to bits. The rescue centre i got them from had already neutered/spayed them and bonded them, so all taken out my hands - so i would recommend you visit a rescue centre if you can find one locally and enlist their help to find a bonded neutered...

    Another question from a newbie!

    Hi i would buy some disposable gloves (wilkinson sell them) and then pick them up by hand and leave them in the litter tray. you can also put the litter tray where they tend to poo more and then gradually move it once they have the hang of using it

    Does anyone NOT have lino in their hutches?

    I dont use lino. When we go to the supermarket,we get cardboard boxes and then just tear them to size and take the sticky tape or anything else off. used to use newspaper but it gets torn and i like having something i can just chuck in the recycling bin when it's dirty.

    Something I Have Done Re Sir Victor

    that is beautiful jane. roses will thrive outside. only if we have a drought (unlikely this year), then water it and move it into the shade if petals start getting dry edges. and do move it inside when there is frost in mornings/ice, onto a window ledge.

    I think I might have to give up my bunnies

    hello there some great advice, and dont worry about how you're feeling - lots of us have had varying emotions when our buns were relatively new. Could you take some pictures of them? We love pictures and it makes you realise how beautiful they are. Do you know how to use photobucket? There is...

    I need help bonding with my new netherland dwarf

    Carley's advice is good - my buns pay me more attention when they are hungry, they arent overly fussed about treats. You might have tried this already but sit down, even lie down around him so you are less of a threat - take a blanket to lie on if it is out on the grass and put some pellets on...

    Children's interest in pets

    i think the whole "children lost interest" excuse is a load of balony, personally. Children dont lost interest, adults do. We have young kids and yeh they like the rabbits and can learn from them, but they certainly didnt influence our decision to get a pet - that's an adult choice and committment

    do i need to add to this diet?

    hello everyone varies their diet a bit and you have to remember with buns to do everything really graduallly. what i reckon is that you could cut down the pellets a bit slowly to about one handful unlimited hay which you're doing - great - apple and carrots have high sugar content, can cause...

    Chicken coop style hutch altered to pass a home-check

    oh that's good to hear someone else has it to. We removed the end panel completely (but have kept it) and then we created a smaller opening with the wooden crates you see there (wine boxes). aswell as the extra strong door fastners, we also put little wood pieces on the roof bits so that they...

    Those of you who free range your bunnies in the garden
