    Toileting in bed!

    So since I've moved Flo and Tubsy onto concrete (due to fox visits) they no longer toilet outside - at all! On the grass they nearly always did it outside! Just means now I'm cleaning their bed section out a lot. How can I encourage them to toilet outside? They have a litter tray in the run and...

    Fox trying to dig into run - help!!

    So recently I've had a fox in the garden on a few occasions over the past 2 weeks. I had to chase it out the other day, difficult considering it was not scared of me! I've tried to physically discourage it by making sure the gates are closed/locked and can't be pushed open. But this morning on...

    2 weeks since dental - dribbling again!

    Hi all, Flo has been having dentals every couple of months as she keeps dribbling and getting spurs on her back teeth. However it's only been 2 weeks since her last dental and she's already dribbling again. I don't know what do, should I just get her checked up? She's eating/drinking/ pooing...

    Rats living in garden!

    Hi all, I have found that there are rats living in my compost bin! (Of which they have dug out half the compost :roll:) There aren't any food sources in our garden, we don't feed birds and they can't get in the rabbit hutch or run to access rabbit food. So are they a danger to rabbits in terms...

    Hi all, Flo is fairly healthy now and her breathing seems ok again. However she is failing to gain weight! She is a little on the thin side, at about 2.1kgs but she used to be in the 2.3-2.5kgs range. I've been feeding her a teaspoon of oats daily but still no weight gain. I found a little...

    Echinacea for Flo's breathing difficulties?

    Where can I source some? I read an article by John Chitty who has had chronic cases and it had apparent benefit. I'm willing to try almost anything to help with her breathing! Antibiotics help then after a while without them her breathing becomes bad again. I'm also considering nebulising her...

    Flo panting?

    So Flo is still undergoing treatment for pneumonia. Today it is really hot (near 25 Celsius) and she is flopped down chilling but she is panting. She has a slightly higher resp rate anyway but it is clear she is panting. She is in the shade and I just put a water bottle in the freezer. Much...

    Tubsy is still tubsy!!

    Weighed Tubsy today and he is 2.4kgs (he was 2.6kgs in December). Trying to get him down to to 2.2kgs currently, any good ways of doing this? I'll cut down pellets, but should I cut down greens? I know he'll just end up stealing Flos so might have to sit with them every time I feed :roll:

    Flo still has pneumonia...

    Just had an appointment at the vets, Flo still has tiny patches of abnormal lung sounds! So another 4 weeks of ABs and nebulisation :( It's just so stressful. Flo absolutely hates it and has starting avoiding me and thumping at me! She gives me the right run around. Just want her to be better now!!
