    Alfalfa hay

    Hello, I've accidentally ordered alfalfa hay instead of timothy hay (online, should never order when I'm tired). My buns have not had it before.

    Hello, I've just pruned some branches off our rose bush. It's in our garden and never been treated, as in no pesticides or chemicals of any sort.

    Tips for giving medication

    Over the weekend one of my rabbits lost his appetite and his poo output reduced. So I took him to the vets and they kept him (and his bonded partner in). They gave him MELOXAID pain relief, EMEPRID gut motility and ZANTAC anti acid. His output is better and he is eating on his own, so this...

    The Christmas Bunny on TV (UK CHANNEL 5*)

    Is anyone watching it? I just switched it on. It's a christmassy film featuring a cranky bunny lady on it who's just confiscated an injured rabbit from a small girl and told her that she won't get the rabbit back until she's learnt how to look after it properly. Then she announced 'rabbits need...
