Build someting self supporting out of timber

You'll need some mesh fencing, at least 4ft tall. The trouble is finding it with the small holes required, most of the stuff in DIY shops has holes that rabbits can squeeze through, so you'll probably have to order it online. This sort of thing...

I would recommend keeping a schedule. Pick him up at the same time every day, during a quiet time. And when you put him back down, give him a treat. If it's predictable they sometimes cope better.

You can't. Wild rabbits die, very young. The only way to keep them safe is in your garden.

Rabbits generally cope very well with staircases, if they can see well. If they are lop eared, you should supervise them to begin with. Tried to adopt a lop eared rabbit to partner one of the girls, he was very confident but did slip a bit when going down the stairs. Up eared rabbits were fine...

How long has he been on the hay only diet? I guess you have tried some pre/pro-biotics like fibreplex

Honestly, I wouldn't. They don't speak the same language. A playful dog can really upset or injur a rabbit without meaning to

Sorry about blossom. What a pretty girl

thank you all

Thanks for all your replies. She had a mass, probably a tumour, deteriorated quickly before an operation could be arranged, and was put down yesterday.

If the vet practice is a member of RWAF then they are entitled to contact Richard Saunders through the RWAF for advice

Sounds like you need to see the vet. I wouldn't worry too much about ear temperatures though, it's only the body temperature that matters.

Yes, looks like a bit of a bite. Keep an eye on it to make sure it stays clean. Don't let him get it dirty. Keep a close eye on them to make sure they're not fighting
