leg Ask for an x ray, I know it's an expense but at least you will know. They can't always tell just by feeling it, if the bunny is in pain it may stop eating and then its hard to get them to start eating again.

fighting Be careful how long you leave it before removing one. I had three neutered sisters living together. I noticed a small bit of bullying going on towards the weakest and smallest rabbit, she has had a few teeth problems and the other two started picking on her, They obviously knew she...

toys Two of my half wild bunnies have a cheap willow washing basket which they love sitting in and chewing up, you can get small ones from places like the pound shop, or whatever you have in your area. They have nearly eaten theirs so I will have to buy another one soon !

french lops I think french lops are just very laid back bunnies. My boy is 7 months old now and he just lazes about, sometimes he will have an energy spurt round the garden but generally he lolls on his side and does nothing for ages unless he hears the russle of a packet that may contain food...

outside I have a french lop that I got in november and he was living indoors as he was a baby. I have been putting him outside in the garden during the day for a few weeks and bringing him in at night, but am thinking about trying him outside at night now as well. I think as long as they have...

harness Have you tried bribery ? I put my french lop on a harness and lead the first few times I let him in the garden because I didnt know how he would react having never been outside. I sat him down and fed him a jacobs cracker which he loves, while he was busy munching that I managed to get...

hay I get a bale of hay and one of straw, I use mainly straw for the floor and in their runs and use hay for bedding and to eat, They have a hay rack to keep some clean for eating. I can't afford to use sawdust as I have six rabbits and it is quite expensive. If you can store it I would...

chickens Hello Miffed Miffy, your garden sounds a bit like mine. I have three dogs, five bunnies, one giant bunny and a cat and at the beginning of April I am getting a couple of rescue chickens. How big is your garden ? Have you any advice on keeping chickens ? I have a shed for them which...

thumping And by the way forgot to say when they thump their back feet, they do this as a warning, to other rabbits, that they think there may be a threat somewhere, or maybe heard a noise they don't like, mine thump their back legs when next doors cat walks along the fence. In the wild it is a...

binkys You have one happy bunny, mine have been binkying round the garden alot today, because it was lovely and sunny and felt like spring, until the dam rain came back at teatime, then they were gloomily sitting in the undercover part of their run again !!

ok , thanks I will have a look for one of those :)

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a litter tray for a giant bunny. I have been using a normal cat litter tray while Jack was small but now he is five months old, he is getting too big and keeps weeing over the side !!! If you can't get trays for giant buns what can I use instead that won't...

french lops I have a french lop who is about 4 months now. He doesnt eat a lot of veg because I have found that it gives him a messy bum ! Trying to wash a giant bunnie's bum is not the easiest task in the world as he weighs about 10 stone now ! He has an unlmited amount of hay and dried food...

chickens I only live an hour from Brighton and have always wanted to keep chickens. I have offered to rehome a couple, but as I already have six rabbits, three dogs and a cat, I can't have any more than that. My neighbour has offered me her old shed that she doesnt use any more to make a...

french lops Hi there, I have had my french lop for five weeks now. He was nine weeks old when I got him from giant rabbit rescue. I have five normal size bunnies in the garden, but at the moment jack is living indoors. I have got a BIG hutch in the garden and when the spring comes he will be...

rabbit hutch on ebay I have just sent that stupid git an email as well. I have also told him that putting "xmas bunnies" is a bit **** and that the hutch is not big enough. I don't care if he is abusive, I have sent a few emails to people on ebay who are selling fur and they haven't been very...

garden centre bunny good for you !!! i would have done the same even though I can DEFINATELY have no more bunnies, seeing as I now have six, one of which is indoors at the moment as he is only a baby and the weather is soooo **** !!! I hope you find her a good home.

fleas Went to vets, they said advantage is now licenced for rabbits so I used that. Because he is a giant breed and he is already over 1kg I used the whole spot on capsule for him, and he seems fine, although I did worry when he tried to turn round and lick his neck, but he couldn't quite reach...

fleas Hi there Alison, thanks for that, I will ring the vet, I was going to do the other animals again just to be on the safe side.
