You could insulate the inside of the shed (eg polystyrene sheets from Wickes between the battens) and then cover with large sheets of thin exterior ply. That could then be painted to protect it and...

Me too. I use the credit card and sort it out later. If things are really desperate, PTS is always an option - affordable, relieves suffering, etc - but I've never come to that yet.
Not having...
I would contact a vet ASAP. Rabbits are prey animals and hide their symptoms. A rabbit that seems ill is in need of veterinary attention as a matter of urgency. Please, at least phone and ask for...
The best thing for a bunny to play with is another bunny.
Toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay
Empty small plastic plant pots to chuck around
Willow or apple branches to chew - at different heights for more interest (eg stuck through mesh above head height)...
I like Flo's artistic alterations to the files on the bottom shelf.
I've never found a way to stop a rabbit digging - it's what they do. Some do seem to be more determined diggers than others, though, so it's more a case of managing it.
I would put a digging box...
Increasing the ventilation will help. eg. If there are windows, leave them open and mesh over the opening, put in a secondary mesh door and leave the main door open during the day. Hutches have a...
Some random thoughts-
- try getting a fresh batch of hay to see it that makes a difference, as they are both off the current hay.
- bramble leaves are good. There may be some dandelions lurking...
You seem to be doing all the right things. If she's eating eg brambles, just keep feeding her those. There should be fresh ones available if you go foraging (with gloves on, small scissors and a...
In the UK, the 3 rabbit viruses are a significant risk to all unvaccinated rabbits. Close proximity to known wild rabbit population is a risk.
Not sure what you hope to achieve by a spot-on...
Assuming they are both neutered, it's worth a go. If they do fight, just call it quits and they end up as singletons again. Sometimes they mellow with age.
I would try somewhere totally neutral -...
As Jane says, you may need an x-ray to confirm there really is no break or spinal involvement with the injury. Leaving it for too long will make it more difficult to obtain the best outcome. I...
If your rabbits are vaccinated for myxomatosis, RHD1 and RHD2, there is no additional risk from using garden soil. If they are not vaccinated, they really need doing (it's a single jab annually now)...
I hope you have some continuing pain relief to give him at home. I would also keep him confined to aid recovery and / or prevent exacerbating the injury - so no jumping on furniture, etc - better to...
Sleep tight Mocha. She had a much better life with you and Godfrey.
It depends - age and health of rabbit, companion(s), accommodation provided, additional winter measures taken, and the weather. I am ok with mine at mild frosts. When it looks like it's going to get...
If they are used to being outside and in the run normally, they should be Ok - as long as they have access to somewhere warm, dry and draught free at all times. At the moment, it's difficult to keep...
Don't know the sources, but my daughter told me about it as she monitors local internet sources. There does seem to be a marked bias towards female rabbit deaths in a mixed population - but I really...
Thank you for that. There have been reports of (vaccinated) sudden rabbit deaths locally.
I'm in a similar situation - although not quite as cold here. I had to bring a pair of rabbits inside to treat one with antibiotics and generally keep an eye on her. It's far too cold to put them...
I would suggest getting a puppy pen higher than 61cm as most rabbits would be able to clear that, and you need to be careful if there is something nearby to climb on. 3' / 90cm is a fairly safe...
So sorry. Sometimes the smallest ones take up the biggest space in our hearts.
The snugglesafe heat pads work best if they are in the middle of a pile of eg hay - they will stay just warm for many hours. They don't stay 'hot' for very long, but they do give out a nice comfy...
Hay would be more insulating than shredded paper. I would leave them with the heat pad in the bed area. It's up to them if they want to use it, and they have each other to snuggle up with.
