    Broken leg, sprain?

    This evening i noticed one of my rabbits isnt putting full weight on her front right leg. I first realised that she was holding it up when she was sat up if that makes sense. I sat in the garden watching her, she puts it down lightly while hopping. She rolled in her favourite digging spot but...

    Digging. Arghh

    Is their anything I can put down in certain parts of the garden to discourage digging? I currently have folded (now chewed!) garden chairs over favourite digging spots. They hadn't bothered with digging for a while but seem to have ramped it up the last 2 days. Could this be because the weather...

    Hormones

    Are some buns just more hormonal than others? The arrival of another bun in our garden sent one of mine into a hormonal rage! She is a couple of weeks post neutering now and has got used to the smells of the new girl in the garden. She still has the odd stamp and nip at her sister but apart...

    How do you serve your hay?!

    I put redigrass in a bowl and hay in small piles a couple of times a day but it often just gets mixed in with the straw. Was thinking about maybe putting a tappet ware tub in there full of hay? Wasn't sure about a hay rack as imagined it feels foe natural for them to eat off the floor but on...

    Weight loss

    I took on a new rabbit about 2 weeks ago. She had a fat pouch under her chin and when you stroked down her back you couldn't feel her "bum bone" like you can in my other 2 girls. Fast forward to today and it occured to me that she was really light when I picked her up. I sat her on my knee...

    Digging tray

    My girls run that they have access to all day is on the patio. When they are loose in the garden they either play and eat or dig. I was thinking of putting a tray filled with soil in their run so they can dig. Have any of you done this before Knowing my luck they would just sit in it.
