Baby food is a great idea thank you will try that! And have never heard of meds on toast so will see how he feels about that! Thanks for the suggestions :)

Hi, One of our rabbits had a very scary trip to the emergency out of hours vets this week when he stopped eating and was diagnosed with gastrointestinal statis. The vets were amazing and discharged him the next day as he was eating voluntarily again. They've sent him home with 3 different...

Also, we haven't switched ours round in their areas as we've just got one of our rabbits litter trained and didn't want to undo that! Do you think swapping them over is the right thing to do?

Hi, thank you so much for your message its so nice to hear that you can salvage what seems to be an irreconcilable bond! I will have a look at the lady in Cambridge as we have family there so could combine the trip! When you say a few hiccups was that a fight? And did you have to keep them...

It is - I wish they understood that we just want them to be happy :( Do you have any contact details for her? Thank you

Ah that would be a good idea! We're in Manchester so anywhere within an hours drive would be ideal. Thanks :)

Update on the bonding: We have tried to bond our two male rabbits twice since my last post and neither time has been much of a success. The first time they ignored each other for about a minute, then Ralph began to chase Reggie and bit a clump out of his fur. Reggie stomped his foot and went...

Hi, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the rebonding. If it's any consolation our 2 male rabbits had a fight after they were neutered and we tried to rebond them this weekend which didnt go well. We couldn't really pick up the different signs of a potential fight breaking out because it...

Sounds like you were given the right advice, we weren't told to separate them after the neutering and I wish I'd looked more in to it so I could have prevented the fight! I am also a beginner but would definitely suggest keeping them separate for the suggested amount of time - ours were getting...

Hi everyone, our male rabbits were neutered about 5 weeks ago. A week after they had a substantial fight which resulted in a visit to the vets because of a scratched eye. We separated them as soon as it happened and they have been separated ever since, but have been able to sniff /see each other...

Thanks for your responses everyone. I've done some research into the boarders around us and they will just let them out in turn so the rabbits are not all socialising together fortunately. I was thinking about going to visit some this weekend to get a feel for them and see if it is somewhere our...

Hi everyone, sorry to post on here twice in two days but have a quick question about the best thing to do when we go on holiday for a week. The longest we have left our rabbits is 3 days (a long weekend) and in this occasion someone came in to feed our 2 rabbits and spend a bit of time with them...

Thanks everyone, will start trying these tips out!

Hi everyone, we're getting our 4 month old rabbits neutered on Monday. Ive read that you can't litter train them until they've been neutered so they've been going wherever they please really. We really want to start trying to litter train them once they've been done, does anyone have any hints...

Hi everyone, Sorry if this has been covered before but can anyone recommend a good pet carrier big enough to fit 2 rabbits in for their first vaccinations? They're only small at the moment but would like to invest in one which they won't out grow! Thank you!

Its the right if you're looking at him but his left eye yes! We have signed them up to a rabbit friendly vets so hopefully the vet will know straight away if theres anything not right with him. Think I might be being a bit overly paranoid as they're my first rabbits :) Thanks everyone for your...

Thanks very much everyone, i've brought forward the vaccinations at the vets so that he can be looked at sooner

Sorry - have just worked out how to upload the picture! thanks

Hi everyone. Our rabbits are about 2 and a half months old and we brought them home with us last week. Our mini lop (crossbreed but we think he's mostly lop) has a very slight leaky right eye. I have attached a picture. Is this anything to be concerned about? Many thanks!

Hi everyone, We've recently become rabbit parents for the first time and are learning as we go. When we got them, we were recommended to lay their cage with wood shavings (http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/woodshavings-p385--1) so I tend to put a level spreading of wood shavings on the...
