Hi, This sounds like a great project! Cuprinol garden shades is bunny safe. Lino is a good idea too. It makes "spillages" easy to clean up. Have you seen the housing sticky on here (http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?311878-Outdoor-Housing-Tips-amp-Examples)? It's got tonnes of...

Hi, Rabbits don't generally enjoy being handled or cuddled, so you were sadly misled by the breeder. Bunnies are the best pets when you interact with them on their own terms. The best way I've found is to get down to their level: sit or lie on the floor, and just be there until they get used to...

How old is she?

I'm not sure I can picture the problem. Why can't she go into both levels? Is there a ramp? a largish litter tray might cover the hole enough for her to not see it as an escape route if you need to block it (assuming the rest of the hutch is secure in case she does get through). Does she have...

That looks lovely as a base, but too small to shut rabbits in for any length of time. Have you seen the indoor housing sticky - lots of nice ideas on that thread: http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?304613-Indoor-Housing-Tips-amp-Examples You could convert the cupboard and have a...

Haha, brilliant :)

I found these notes on a good rescue page which may help regarding bonding and neutering: Neutering: https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-rabbit-crossing/why-neuter/473003112743421 Bonding: https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-rabbit-crossing/my-guide-to-how-i-bond-rabbits/463430373700695

If it was me, I would have her spayed before putting them together again. Unspayed, she could be very hormonal, and it will also make him more 'randy'. It's important to get her spayed for health reasons too, to avoid the common uterine cancers that female rabbits get. At 4-5 months she is...

Thanks :) :thumb:

Does anyone know of a female bunny looking for a home, who has snuffles? Bunny has lost his partner, and the vet has advised that as he has long term snuffles it would be best for him to have a snotty friend due to the risks of infecting a healthy bunny. This is Bunny: Bunny lives in Surrey...

Just bumping this in case anyone has any experience of this?: Should I really be looking to partner him with another snuffles rabbit? Is the risk for a healthy rabbit too great? Bunny will be seeing the vet this week for a full check over, and to get her view on whether we can try treating...

Thank you all. I have (had, as sadly Poppy passed away this week :cry:) two buns who tested positive for this ages ago. One was certainly swabbed whilst under GA, but the other may have been conscious, I can't remember. I've just realised my understanding of bortedella is quite wrong as I...

Does anyone know about bortedella? If a bunny nasal swap shows bortedella, and the bun is snuffly (sneezing and snotty), what does this mean? Is the bortedella itself possible to cause those symptoms, or is it more likely to be something else (pasteurella?)? Thanks :)

Hi Alicia, I now take my bunnies to Gill at Windlesham Village Vets, as although there are a couple of ok vets around here, there aren't any with a particular interest in rabbits. It's about half an hour from me, so would be a bit more for you, maybe 45 mins. I can't recommend her enough though...

I was on a Facebook group recently where someone had bought a giant from a breeder in Essex with exactly the same issue. In her case it was the vet who told her his ears were too heavy (:shock:), and I came on here to get recommendations for a rabbit savvy vet for her. It did turn out to be EC...

I wish we could help him, but the vet is the only one who can examine him and diagnose :(. I hope you were able to get an appointment quickly. Please update the thread later so we know how he is getting on.

Thank you for joining the forum and explaining the background! Please stay around, it's so nice that you have such an interest in rabbits. There aren't enough good bunny vets around! You will certainly hear about a wide range of bunny issues if you read the forum regularly. Just as an owner, I...

I used to be firmly in the 'anti' camp when it came to conscious dentals, but since moving vets to a very bunny savvy vet, I can honestly say I think it can be done in the right circumstances. My Toby needs dentals fairly regularly (sometimes once a month), and he has them done consciously so...

You are right to look for another vet. The vet should have checked for testicles and been sure of sex before putting your rabbit under anaesthetic. I am shocked that such basic checks weren't done. Also, the advice not to spay is appalling :( You could ask for recommendations for a rabbit savvy...
