    Dead animal in hay

    Hi all As the title says; I’ve found a dead animal at the top, of the hay (not sure what it is as haven’t looked closely). I think it’s a bird- and he’s included a pic It’s from Timothyhay.co.uk and I know this is part of the process, but I don’t want to feed it to them. Has this happened to...

    Struggling with Zigzag- not eating hay

    Hi all, Me again.... Zigzag got checked by the RVS last week, and they suspect from the blood work and urine sample that he's got early kidney disease. They've prescribed Semintra which I'm waiting for from the online pharmacy. He was ecstatic when he returned home, was eating hay and very...

    Turmeric, arthritis and uTI

    Has anyone given their rabbit turmeric or turmeric powder sprinkled over their food for arthritis? It’s a very good anti inflammatory, and in Canada they sell liquid turmeric fur bunnies. Although sprinkling a bit on food or mixed in with home made biscuits may not be the best ideas of mine...

    New prescribing rules 1st Sept

    Hi all, I couldn't find a thread on this, but mods if there is, please combine. I noticed that there are new prescription rules from 1 Sept, which means that rabbits, alongside other pets, need to be seen by vets more regularly if they are on a controlled drug. Will this affect any of you...

    Zigzag is 13 :)

    Zigzag is 13! It’s been an exhausting year so far, and month and day, for me. And not just because of Zig’s various ailments! I’m amazed he’s 13, he’s having a very happy birthday with Winnie, my husband and errrr my mum! I have unfortunately forced him to wear some homemade outfits. Poor...

    Zigzag twitching head

    So Zigzag has decided to have a flare up at the worst time possible! He won’t stop twitching his head, I cleaned his ears yesterday with the oil stuff asi thought it might be ear wax build up. I’m going to a non rabbit savvy vet today. Could it be ear mites? His ears look lovely though...

    Winnie again

    Winnie is coming up to 5 years old, and poor love has had multiple rare issues, including a rare eye condition, fur problems (now half resolved). She’s under the care of the RVS, and got the works, a CT scan, ultrasound, biopsied in the liver. The liver was enlarged which is why they did the...

    Increased food aggression

    My rabbit Winnie has become a lot more grabby and food aggressive. She’s a rex lop and has always been extremely greedy, but over the last month it’s gone up a level. She’s always trying to get ahead of Zigzag, but has now started boxing and growling when I give her food. Yesterday I gave her...

    Loud noise sensitivity

    Hi this is a very random question, but my 12 year old bunny has suddenly become quite sensitive to loud noises- eg when the plate or fork hits the table/ bowl. He flinched when he heard the sound. It’s quite odd, as I know he feels comfortable, and it’s happened in the last 2 weeks. Could it...

    Heat pad

    Can anyone recommend an electric heat mat please? Zigs hates the snuggle buns and gives both of them dirty looks and pushes them away. So I’d really like to find him one that he looks at lovingly. Thanks x

    White rabbit hay

    I recently got some new hay from what I think is a new hay company https://whiterabbithay.com/ I love discovering new hay…. Both Winnie and Zigzag really like the hay (however Zigs isn’t really eating at the moment due to an ongoing condition). It’s less stalky than the Timothyhay.Co.uk, but I...

    Adrenal gland hyperplasia

    Hi I suspect my male rabbit has adrenal gland hyperplasia. He is incessantly humping Winnie and is being aggressive- biting her back, nipping. He’s not eating because he’s so worked up (I posted this in another thread). It’s upsetting and it’s a bit like he’s lost the plot. He is chasing Winnie...

    Zigzag pellets (teeth checked)

    Hi all, I was hoping to get some advice about my 12 year old bunny Zigzag, who is seen by specialists at the RVC. I went away recently, and they were boarded about a month ago (which I now massive regret, I should have never have gone!) Since I’ve returned he’s not eating bigger pellets, and...

    Rabbit health

    Hi all, I’m not feeling great today, so maybe that’s why I’m not feeling too positive. But does anyone feel like they always end up with bunnies with health issues?! I’m very aware they’re hard to look after, and very high maintenance. But my first had a respiratory issue, a piece of hay...

    Available Rescue: Rafa and Roger

    Hello, We are fostering the bunnies below for ARC. They are brothers that were born in rescue, and are over a year old. They are lovely buns, who currently live indoors- and would need space to roam. They like to follow us around, as they associate us with food! Every morning they follow us to...
