    Hop to Forage

    I've only used them once for a special occasion, but if anyone is interested, they have 15% off their whole site at the moment.

    Tui and Froe

    I've just sent a couple of screenshots of Tui and Froe from the overnight camera to the rescue, where we adopted Froe two years ago. I thought you might like to see them, as I rarely post pics of them here.

    A Tui and Froe poem

    My OH was playing around with ChatGPT this evening and showed me this :LOL: This is what he asked: Please write a funny poem about two rabbits. One called Tui. The other called Froe. This is what came back: In a meadow green and wide, Two rabbits, Tui and Froe, reside. With fluffy tails and...

    Hay

    I was very loathe to start yet another hay thread. It seems to me so wrong that I fuss so much about different hay. I also get hugely frustrated that once I find hay that both I and the bunnies think is super, the company stops providing it. I know this is unreasonable, as it is a natural...

    Animal ambulance

    I saw this this morning https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/08/animal-ambulances-demand-pet-emergency-care I know nothing about them and don't know how much faith I would put in their two day intensive course at a vet hospital, but as a means of transport if someone is stuck, they...

    Rabbits' sleeping positions

    From memory I think all the bunnies I've had have always slept on their side, head on the floor, legs out at right angles to their body. The sort of position that makes you sometimes wonder if they're still breathing or not. Tui has never slept on her side. She always sleeps on her tummy...

    timothyhay.co.uk

    Just looking at their website and notice they now are selling 'extra stalky' timothy. Has anyone tried this? I think I'll stick with their usual normal stalky timothy, but posting in case someone is interested in it or has already tried it. https://www.timothyhay.co.uk/

    Pressing noses

    Whilst we were bonding Tui and Froe, I observed a behaviour that I've not seen previously, either during bonding or otherwise. There are a couple of instances which I captured on screen shots on the camera, which can be seen in their bonding thread. This was actually both bunnies pressing...

    Tui and Froe - an unconventional bonding attempt

    As some of you know I have been looking for months for a new friend for Tui. Well meet Froe (nee Shadow) from Tag Pet Rescue. He is between 1 and 2 years old and was rescued in June from a multi-animal household, which was a bit unsavoury. I had previously discounted him as I was concerned...

    Christmas presents for bunnies

    We have never given presents at Christmas to any of our animals. But this year we thought we would do something different for Tui, albeit somewhat belatedly. So yesterday we went to have a look at what we had in mind for her. It seemed the perfect gift and so we asked to have the test, which...

    Let me out and where's my breakfast?

    No pics I'm afraid, but I got up a bit later this morning and so Tui didn't get her breakfast and get let out of the shed until about half an hour later than normal. We have a camera set up inside the shed to monitor her overnight. From about the normal time of opening her up, she was...

    Rabbit pellets

    I'm going to have to buy some more hay for Tui, as she has come to the end of the type of home-grown hay, that is acceptable to her and I saw these pellets on the Haybox site. https://haybox.club/collections/pellets/products/premium-rabbit-pellets Has anyone tried them and are they popular...

    Pets@Home Adoption - Update

    Does anyone know whether Pets@Home are still rehoming small animals from their stores? Pre-Covid there used to be a website with a search facility, where you could input your postcode and search for available animals in stores nearest to your home. I can't find that now and am wondering if...

    The Social Behaviour of the European Rabbit *WARNING* pics of laboratory rabbits

    I found this paper quite interesting. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5113872/ It relates to considerations of how to house rabbits optimally for laboratory use. Whilst a lot of it (frustratingly) provides conflicting observations, it does give examples of how male and female...

    Tethra :(

    My precious boy died today with Tui by his side :cry: He would have been ten next week and had been getting more and more frail over the past few months. His mobility was particularly bad. My OH examined him thoroughly afterwards and sadly found a lump by his hip joint. This probably...

    Another new hay company

    Have just looked at Jane's link (to Herbyhay) on her posts :) Have you tried it Jane? It does look very special, although not cheap :) I like the fact they donate some to rescues too.

    Timothy Hay Co bags

    We have now got a very large stash of these bags. Some of them get re-used e.g. for logs, storing hops etc. But we still have loads. They are very sturdy bags. We were watching a gardening programme last night, where one of the presenters was harvesting early potatoes from 'potato bags'. I...
