    Free to a good home - hutch and run

    I have a single tier 4ft hutch and a 4ft x 4ft run (seperate from the hutch) free to anyone who is able to collect them from Leeds by Saturday morning at the latest. They are both in good condition. The hutch is about 2 years old and could do with a good scrub but is perfectly solid (made with...

    Please help, possible EC

    Milo has been off the last couple of days. He has been very picky about what he eats and has been a lot less active than usual. I thought it was a mild case of stasis and have been treating him for such (infacol, tummy rubs etc.), as his poos are very small and dark. However last night I...

    baby pigs I am fostering from Cheryl

    I am fostering a few pregnant pigs for Cheryl (sgprescue), one of which gave birth today to 3 beautiful bouncing babies, 2 girls and a boy. They are all adorable. The boy, named Claude :D , is the darker gingery one and the smallest of the three. The two girls are yet to be named.

    Sharing a run

    Do you think it would be ok for a pair of rabbits to share a run with a singleton but use it at different times? Now I have finished uni, I am living with my mum, whose partner bought a rabbit from a petshop on a whim about 18 months ago. This poor rabbit (a black dutch named Charlie) has been...

    Flea treatment?

    I have just got back from taking Tess to the vets for her myxi vac and when i was there, the vet suggested that i start treating them for fleas as a preventative measure because we get so many foxes in our garden. trouble is he said it would need repeating every month and costs £16 a pop. With 2...

    My luscious ladies!

    The guinea pigs are all out on the grass at the moment and loving it. The weather is finally mild enough without it actually raining (though a little damp) for them to go out and play. So here we have Pansy (black and white texel), Heather (lemon agouti rex), Holly (brindle abby) and last but...

    Hay monsters!!

    Tess and Milo just luuuurve their hay! They munch on it non stop. It's thirsty work being a hay monster. But Tess' big bum is on the way so we have to squidge in as tight as we can to get to the water. They will eat about 3-4 times that amount of hay between them every day. Which is...

    Aureomycin

    Has anybody else ever tried this antibiotic on their snuffle buns? If not I would reccomend you give it a go. It has worked really well on Milo. I have only heard him sneeze about 3 or 4 times in the last month since he went onto this. The course finished several days ago and he is still sneeze...

    When to neuter a young snuffle bun?

    I have managed to find a gorgous little girl with snuffles who would be a perfect match for Milo. She is rather small, around 850g and is just under 5 months old. I would really want to get her neutered to eliminate the cancer risk and to stop any broody behaviour but when would I need to do...
