There were about 10 of these feathers in the run, they must have appeared there between 10:00am and 13:00 today. There were a whole bunch in a heap, then some other ones scattered about. At first I thought this was someone's fur, because we have four mini lops and they often have little tiffs...

Yes, the box has a lid, it's also 18mm OSB like the box itself, with a rim around so quite heavy and secure. We have the four rabbits, so they will be sleeping together. They are the two pairs I introduced in August and although they still haven't completely sorted out their differences, with...

We've been keeping our four mini-lops outside for about two months now. We have a 3.5x3.5m chicken wire run, 2m high. Then inside that we have the 2m version of this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Galvanised-Rabbit-Guines-Enclosure-144x116x58cm/dp/B000QY2Q98 Which they get locked into last thing at...

Maybe true but there's what I'd like to do vs what I can do. I'm unsure what you mean, but if it means staying up overnight to watch the rabbits I'm afraid it's not going to happen. As with many things in life I have to compromise.

I decided to move things forward a bit today, and fenced off a common grassy area for them, connected to both sides of the run, to see what would happen. I then let them access the new area. This time I let things go a bit longer with the fur pulling. There was a bit of latching between the...

There are two young males in one pair, they have been neutered more than 6 weeks ago. I think the guidance I read suggested 4 weeks min, which we followed. Both under a year old. Then a 3 yr old male and about 2.5 year female in the other pair, they were neutered long ago. So you think all of...

They've been living side-by-side, outside with chicken mesh between them, both inside the sleeping box and in the run area. I built a custom construction to do this. This has gone on for about two weeks, swapping sides every 24 hours. I've been periodically introducing one of each pair to...

You're right, I noticed they're not all that happy if I leave it too late at night before bringing them in, particularly if it gets dark, so I built a burrow in the run. I've experimented with this for a couple of nights and it seems to be working well. The central chamber is surprisingly warm...

I have someone who can check on them, just don't want to hand over the keys to the house. The other option is leave them outside, I have a secure enclosure but was wondering how they'll do outside if they are used to sleeping inside. I normally only put them out there in the day. Do you think...

Hi All, Am planning to go away for a week-end Friday -> Sunday. I was wondering what to do with the two buns. Last time we left them with a friend and it didn't go very well. I think they prefer to be in our kitchen which is where they spend most of the time. Any tips for me? I figured...

I think with some effort I should be able to secure the garden because there are fences all round. There's just one hole I know about so I'll fix that and see if it keeps them out. I'll also check on those vaccinations. Thanks for the comments.

We've been in our house about 10 years and now for the first time I'm seeing rabbits in the garden... not ours! I wondered if this could be because we'd put ours in a run further down the garden and the droppings may be attracting visitors. Anyhow, my question is if I need to take some steps...

I think she always drank more than him, but it wasn't always the same person refilling her bowl, so we weren't keeping the best track of it. Update: I got fed up with pulling droppings out of the hay boxes, so I've combined them now to simplify the job. They don't seem to fight over the hay...

Great! I looked around for bits of her fur on the floor and didn't find any. They even briefly shared a hay box without squabbles while I was filling them. Interestingly she's sped up eating her pellets so he doesn't have the opportunity to steal them when he's done (she used to take ages...

Yes indeed, and I spread it across two boxes opposite sides of the room. Just checked on them and they are sleeping in loaf against each other (they were apart for the midday sleep). The kitchen being 11 degrees may have something to do with that!

Thanks. I hope I don't need to, they've been together since 10:00 a.m. and just a couple of altercations in that time, both quickly settled with her running away. I won't be far away, just hoping I do actually wake up.

This is the problem. He's been in the kitchen, she's been in the bedroom. So kitchen is probably his now. They are very different rabbits: She doesn't chew or mess with anything at all so has been freely roaming the bedroom without issue except we stick her in the hutch at night. She didn't...

Our male mini lop is about 1.5 years old, female about 9 months, both have been neutered now, the male last year, female a about a month ago. Their initial introduction didn't go that great, it wasn't so much the hair pulling or so called 'normal' bonding activity, more about the female weeing...

He hasn't been neutered and it's about time we did it (we're going to book him in soon). He's bitten my daughter twice in a week and my wife really badly a couple of weeks ago. He bites really hard, it doesn't seem like just a warning. He has still yet to bite either myself or my son and I...
