I've had my rescue rabbit Eric for just over 3 weeks and he seems to be settling in well with my girl Dot. They groom each other happily and they love to binky around and chase each other - they seem to be in the best of health. However I've recently found a small number of rather wet poos in...

He sounds lovely - a little scamp like my Dot :) I spoke to my (very rabbit-savvy) vet today about Dot's teeth, although it was just over the phone. I was worried because she has also recently stopped drinking from her water bottle and will only drink from a bowl these days (she has both), and...

PS Weedug your rabbits are gorgeous! I love white rabbits - my Dot looks like the little black and white one on your signature :)

Thanks. I have a little apple tree so will try giving her some twigs from that. She loves them so tends to polish them off in minutes, but it's only a little sapling unfortunately so I can't give her much. She has two wooden toys and a wooden tunnel in her pen all the time so I'm trying to...

My little girl Dot has suddenly started to chew everything in sight. She is on her own after my boy Arthur died of coccidiosis a couple of weeks ago, and I can't get another rabbit until I've had the whole living room steam cleaned so it might be some time. She used to occasionally chew her lino...

Thanks for your replies! Steam cleaning sounds like the way to go. I hadn't thought of getting a professional company in but that's a good idea. I can't really change anything in the long term - I have a very big living room which the rabbits have the full run of and it wouldn't be practical to...

Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about getting rid of coccidiosis from inside the house. My gorgeous boy bun Arthur recently had to be put to sleep after contracting hepatic coccidiosis, and when I thought about it I realised my previous boy Jim died of very similar symptoms (which...

It was odd, Jim didn't really have head tilt which is the one thing I knew EC had a symptom, but his ears went a bit lopsided even though his head was straight and upright. He had weepy eyes, was very lethargic and by the end he'd started to lose his balance and wasn't drinking much or eating...

I've just started treated my rabbit Dot with Panacur. I got her from the RSPCA in December 2013, along with another bunny Jim, and both had apparently been given a 9-day course of Panacur in October 2013. My beautiful boy Jim passed away two days ago and I think it might have been from EC - I...

I was just about to start a thread about my bunny Jim and then found this one - wonder if anyone could help me. Just this morning I've seen Jim have several soft and wet poos, and I found a couple of cecals just now which has never happened before. I'm having my roof repaired as I type this...

I'm also having some problems with this. My bunny Jim is not very good at using his litter tray when he's out and about, although my other one, Dot, is fine. (Both have been neutered.) Sometimes Jim goes back into his pen and sits in his tray but sometimes he just goes wherever he feels like...

They are neutered, yes. Their litter tray is a 32L underbed storage one so nice and big. I took them to the vet and he's treating them for a UTI just in case. They're on antibiotics which they do not like! I'm thinking that if the antibiotics make no difference it's probably just the fact that...

Thanks. They do have Carefresh litter in their tray but they also have a hay rack over it (a recent addition having read what people said on here about liking to eat at the same time - a useful tip :) ). So half of the hay tends to end up in their litter tray anyway! The odd thing is that they...

That's true although if it was just a bit more than the usual amount of water I'd be OK, it's just that it's so much more!! But I've made a vet appointment for tomorrow morning to get them checked over just in case (the receptionist said it was probably just because they're warm having been...

Mine sound almost exactly the same as yours Kirotea, except mine have no problems drinking from a bottle. They also eat lots of hay (fortunately I have made friends with the local farm shop staff…) and they had their vet check with the RSPCA in December. Still totally paranoid, glad it's not...

Just an update on this now I've had the bunnies a bit longer (nearly a month now). They have a 1100ml bottle and I would say they get through 1300ml of water between the two of them over 24 hours. I usually put 1000ml in the bottle in the morning. When I check it again in the early evening it'll...

They are definitely both very inquisitive - they're medium sized so not as strong as giants but I'm slightly worried they could move the bricks. I'm just keeping a close eye on them for the moment! The shelf is painted wood so quite slippery. Unfortunately at the moment I can't see any way I'm...

I have two indoor rabbits, Dot and Jim. They live in a large puppy pen in the living room and are let out free range in the living room if I'm in there - I've only had them for a few weeks so we're still finding a routine but at the moment they tend to be out for an hour or two in the evenings...

Just spent ages looking online and I can't find a house that's a) made of natural materials (that aren't water hyacinth), b) big enough for my bunnies - even the ones that are advertised for rabbits are so small!! and c) within my price range (up to around £25). So I'm thinking I might just get...

Yes that P@H house is the one they've got (thought it was £18) and it's the one they're tearing apart at the moment. Thanks to their tearing and the fact it's not rigid, it collapsed down like a cardboard box after 24 hours and now they're using it to chew and sit on but they haven't got...
