Really sorry that your Eddie passed away Peediepixie. Our Harry passed away about a month ago :cry: which was heartbreaking. We recently got Morritz to keep Emily company. Morritz is a lionhead lop cross I think - see below. He was a bit shell-shocked when we got him but his character has...

No, she's definitely not asking to be groomed... she used to do that with Harry. She's just going in to bite him. He'll sit there but sometimes jump, and then try and get away. Obviously that's hurting if its making him jump. How do you know just from watching them whether they're breaking skin...

Thanks for your reply Tamsin. We have tried checking for bites in his skin and haven't found any but he does have quite long, dense fur so am not sure whether we have missed any. Before the biting, he tends to be sitting quietly, she'll come over and they will put their heads together and...

I recently asked for advice about our new boy rabbit, Morritz: http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?t=128390 He has become much more inquisitive and active over the last week. We have tried introducing Emily to him in the study and bathroom, which should be neutral territory. On a...

Our new rabbit was sneezing loads and I was worried it was pasteurella... we took him to the vet yesterday and they found a massive bit of hay up his nose... poor thing! He'd also been making noises like a guinea pig which have now stopped - I guess because of the hay in his throat. If it...

Hi Guys, thanks for all your replies - you've given some really useful advice/insight. Well, it seems like the removal of the hay from the nose has really helped to perk him up! He's much more interested in his surroundings and has been eating more. He still hasn't managed to adventure from...

Two days ago we adopted a 1.5year old male bunny called morritz (he is neutered) - he appears to be a lionhead lop but this is just me guessing. We got him from a lady who runs a small sanctuary in Berlin (where we live) however, her knowledge of rabbits seems limited as she was feeding them...

Hi guys, thanks for all your replies - much appreciated. we most certainly will be making regular stops both for our own welfare and the rabbits! Its good to know that other people have made such journeys and that the bunnies haven't been too traumatised! best wishes, Cat

I would say that if you have house-bunnies and they are free range then you always have to be prepared for some destruction, even with a well enriched environment. However, you can reduce the amount of your furniture/belongings that are nibbled! I agree that apple branches are VERY popular. We...

Hello, My husband and I are moving from Cambridge to Berlin on the 1st of april and are taking our two house-rabbits with us. We are travelling by car and taking the eurotunnel as we thought this would be less traumatic for them than the ferry. I would be very interested to hear whether any of...

aah I see - I thought we'd had a sudden influx of signatures since yesterday lunch time. Now I know why :lol:

The Rabbit Residence Rescue centre is based in Cambridgeshire and provides refuge for over 80 rabbits. Caroline Collings runs the Rabbit Residence rescue centre by herself, with only a hand full of volunteers who come and go. The rescue is based on a 1/3rd of an acre which was bought with...

Our rabbit Harry has the exact same thing under his chin - harry's is about the size of a 5p though - the skin is pink and healthy. You can really only see it occassionally as its so far under his chin and so small. Basically he pulls it out when he's grooming - I can't really explain the...

Hi, Thanks for the offer but if I was to take him to london then he would just stay with me anyway! I wanted to avoid having to stress him out and travelling - especially as I don't have a car. Cheers though, Catherine

I am pretty central in cambridge. My problem is that I don't have a car. Not sure where Godmanchester is but will have a look on the map later. Thanks for your help :D

Hi, I am going to have to go to london for a couple of weekends before christmas in order to sort out the sale of our flat there. I've been trying to find somewhere suitable to board my rabbit, Harry, for those weekends - without much success. Unfortunately, I don't have a car so that limits...

Hi everyone, My name is Catherine and I have a house bunny called Harry. We've just moved to Cambridge so he's getting settled to our new home and is demolishing the wallpaper (I wouldn't mind but we're renting it at the moment). Once we buy the place we are going to get him a girlfriend - a...
