    Clarification on safe OTC creams

    Can someone just clarify what creams are bunny safe for sores? Sudocrem Savlon Germoline They are all considered safe for rats but Google is suggesting the cetrimid in savlon isn't safe? The Germoline I assume smells far to strong for a bunny? Sudocrem seems to be ok... my vet hasn't told...

    Charlie seems unhappy ☹

    Charlie is fine, he's eating and pooping and to anyone else he would look like a perfectly normal bunny but something about him just feels off and has done for the last few weeks. Lilly got poorly (dental issues, fixed now) and on the same day I had a new livingroom rug. Lilly was very quiet...

    3rd special needs bun.... am I insane?

    So in May I adopted Charlie 6 1/2 years old from the RSPCA his biography said he had a history of untreated pasturella and as a result would likely have frequent eye infections. I figured a bunny advertised as needing regular veterinary care would hard to place so he came home with me. Had 2...

    Microchipping

    Has anyone had their bunnies microchipped conscious? My 2 atm were chipped by the RSPCA, I assume under GA when they went for their neutered. I've got a female reserved from the bluecross but I don't think she is microchipped and i think that will get it done (it's abit weird apparently she's...

    What would you do?

    So I adopted Charlie in May and Bobby in July, the plan was to try and bond them. They are both male so was always going to be a long shot but Bobby has alot of health issues and has already been looking for a home for months so I figured it was worth a try. The plan was if things wouldn't...

    Carrot houses, hay filled cubes etc safe?

    So they look like they are made from cardboard, but the listing says parchment which Google says is animal skin. Charlie loved to devour his 100% "edible" cube but are these things really safe? Or are they like the Snack a Shack stuff that's basically sawdust and honey? Also are the various...

    10 days post bonding - Bitten ear and unprovoked nipping

    Bobby and Charlie have been together since last Monday so 10 days, we had a few bumps in the wrong on a few of their dates but I believe that was due to Charlie insisting on humping Bobby and Bobby getting angry due to the pain from his arthritis. I've had no problems with them at all in the...

    House rabbit in the rain?

    Is it ok for a house bunny to have access outside in the rain as long as they have free access back into the house? Or at the very least shelter? Obviously not on a really cold day or in torrential rain, just mild but depressing damp days I don't want them getting cold and wet if it's bad for...

    Catio or run?

    I have a patio area with a 3ft wall all around it, so technically I just need a little gate and they have a secure area to play in. However the local cats like to watch them 😤 so I pretty much have to stay outside with them, which isn't really practical when I have things to do and they refuse...

    Changes to Eravac vaccine

    Is anyone aware of any changes to the Eravac vaccine licence? We have switched from Filavc to Eravac at work and when I questioned it no one seemed sure. They just said there was some change to the licencing, and filavac is only licenced for meat market rabbits? We don't have a big rabbit...

    Charlie's bonding failed ☹

    Charlie (6 year old neutered male, adopted from rspca 7ish weeks ago) spent the last 4 days at a rescue centre in an attempt to bond him to a similar aged female. Despite it initially going well the female was too feisty and ultimately the bonding failed. I'm so sad for my little man ☹ I...

Atm I've got brambles, Thistle, Sow thistle, Dandilion leaves, herb Robert and the sticky bud stuff. I've lined a plastic tub with newspaper and I figured it should last a few days and worse...

    Filavac or Nobivac first?

    Which vaccine would you have first? I was going to do Nobivac first because that's the original vaccine however Charlie is 100% indoors while he is unvaccinated and I don't have wild rabbits in my garden or near by anyway. I'm thinking that VHD and VHD2 are more of a risk so maybe I should...
