Really good point and advice, thank you for that, I'll turn down his lighting to dim then switch it off completely when I close his room for the night, thanks so much for that it really has helped :)

Murphy does not eat seeds or corn. After months of research before I got him, I read that seeds and corn can kill a rabbit, therefore I do NOT give him seeds or corn. The ring you see is from the Just4rabbits.uk website, it is a mixed forage donut made with grass, nettle and dandelion. The...

Thank you for that, really appreciate it

Sorry if I was not clear before, just to clarify the living arrangement.... I live in a flat.... Murphy has the guest room, but free roams the passage, bathroom, kitchen, living area, balcony when I am home (which is pretty much all the time). On an evening, I have lamps on in my living room (as...

Hi, I just thought it would be odd for him to be in my living room chilling out (with my lights on) then hopping off to his room (in pitch black) on an evening... I thought a little consistency throughout the apartment would be ok

Hi, its not my bedroom, he has the guest room. I turn the lights off when I go to bed so his room is in darkness overnight, its just that if he is in the living room where I am with the lights on, during 6pm to 10pm, then goes into his own room then his room is pitch black, hence the little light

Hi, just wondering if my Murphy will need extra light on an evening now that the dark nights are coming in. Ive bought two night lights to use on an evening, but I turn both off when I go to bed. This is his current set up. Also considering getting a room thermometer to make sure he is warm...

Thanks for that info, great advice! I did read that anything ice cold is bad. I noticed Murphy after running around like a mad thing (in this heat!) was breathing a bit rapidly, so I ran a flannel under the cold tap, and wiped behind his ears and on his feet with it.. he did the "bunny flop "...

Hi, Im not a member of social media, but I do browse around and although Im a new rabbit owner Im alarmed to see a lot of posts on the rescue of rabbits who have suffered dehydration due to their housing conditions. Hoping that people can post how they keep their rabbits cool and it may pop up...

Thank you for this thread, I was considering a harness for my Murphy, because although he has pretty much full run of my apartment, I can see he is keen to venture outside. I can see that the general consensus is that its not a good idea. My reasons werent so much for exercise, as he runs about...

Thank you! Murphy is due for his 6 month check up in beginning of July, so I decided to use that date to set the ball rolling to enquire on neutering and set a date. I must admit, the past few nights have been a little crazy.... changed 4 waterproof coverings on settee in 3 nights, been...

thank you.

Subjecting Murphy now to 4 hours of Eurovision song contest with me... with regular litter breaks, exercise breaks and a treat break. Hopefully he wont hate me, but I tune in to eurovision every year.

Hopefully I can reply back on Murphy's neutering day as I will be absolutely terrified and hoping for support as I have no one to talk to. I will spend the day after dropping him off cleaning his room and making a comfortable recovery pen for him, ensuring his recovery area is as clean as...

I apologise. I wrongly assumed that since I too have an intact male rabbit and Im constantly asking questions that you were having a go at my incapability's of protecting and caring for Murphy. I saw red, and I am sorry for that. Its just that it has been an extremely stressful week and due to...

Initially fazed by your insult, but have had time to think it over and realise its just a comment from a young kid on the internet and I should have had no reason to react to it as I am a pensioner and was taught to rise above such things. Murphy and I will sort it out between us. We have happy...

I see what you are getting at. Thanks. I am also embarrassed and shocked to have thought that I could care properly for rabbits.

Sorry to be naive and thick here, but can you explain why you felt embarrassed and shocked for not neutering him?

Thank you, in light of that then Im not going to wait until his/her 6 month check up and phone the vets monday to book an appointment asap. When you said you had an entire male rabbit who lived alone before you knew better, I have an entire male rabbit who lives alone too. Did you get him...

Thank you Shimmer, thats given me a lot more insight than I found using google :-) Murphy doesnt have a cage or pen... just a room, so to stop him jumping around will be difficult, but I think what I'll do is use the gates that I have and try and enclose him a space around the coffee table he...
