I've listened to about a half of it. Found it difficult to understand all that he said and so have missed some of the detail. Don't know if I will bother to have another try. Would much prefer to have a transcript of it
Regarding vaccinations, I would certainly have any rabbit vaccinated that lives indoors. I have had an unvaccinated rabbit catch myx and die, many, many years ago, and would not want to witness that again. I have always understood that RHD 1 & 2 can be transmitted via footware and clothing, especially if the owner walks a lot in the countryside. If that's the case, then an indoor rabbit could be as much at risk as an outdoor one. And regarding myx, if the vector is a mozzie, then they certainly come indoors here. And of course it would only take one to pass the virus on.
I was interested in his suggestion that some diseases are more prevalent in indoor rabbits, eg dental disease(?), but would like to have had some sort of figures to support that (perhaps I missed hearing that!). I would have thought that the physical attributes of a rabbit's head were more of a factor than whether it was housed indoors or outdoors.
So, I haven't reached the point where it was discussed about groups of un-neutered, single sex bunnies. My view on that would be one of shock. For Does it would be a health risk and even if the Bucks didn't fight, I don't think it would create a stressfree living environment for them. And the alternative of a neutered male/female pairing seems to me to win hands down.
Some of the topics were interesting such as wet plant material, which we do here anyway. And also the lack of seasonality affecting moult. Tui has no lack and she is mostly moulting all the time :lol:
