i own 3 bunnies alfie barney percy - all 1 year but born at different times of the year, i had alfie and barney from pets at home as babies and percy i adopted from a lady who used to breed mini lops but she got ill and had to give them away - so all have had to be neutered and bonded.....
percy was neutered 6 weeks ago and boded really well with the other two 3 weeks ago...percy had to hav his teeth filed down at the back when he was neutered as the prevoius owner fed him too much nuggets.
I fed them all this morning and played with them, i then went to watch films in the lounge as ive been ill, 3 hours ago i went to mkaesure they were okay and topped their water up and found percy was dead in the hutch....i am so upset i feel i've done something wrong, i lost my girl emily this year and she was adopted too.
he seemed fine, i was supposed to take him to the vets on sunday for them to check his teeth again, i just dont understand whats wrong, so im just going to explain roughly what i feed them and care:
i give them 25g of pellets each (the selective rabbit food brand), (please let me know if this is too much) and will give them the pellets today, miss a day and then give them pellets etc.
they have contstant supply of hay, i get the pets at home timothy hay
they have sawdust in the hutch with litter boxes with pet litter (back-2-nature)
i give them wood twig from our apple tree t keep teeth nice and trimmed....
what is it im doing wrong, can you guys tell me what your bunny routine is with the amount of food you give and type (salad, pellets)
ive put my other 2 bunnies in a playpen for tonight as i want to scrub the hutch as im paranoid because emily and percy have died in the same hutch....
can i use normal disinfectant to scrub ad clean the cage an allow to fully dry? or what would you use?
sorry if this is a long post im just so sad as i always want the best for my bunnies, they mean everything to me
