Thanks for the reply guys and for the advice thus far. It’s sounding as though it might be worth testing out bandaging before investing incase it is completely intolerant for the bun. From what I’ve gathered from this person, they really aren’t sure what the cause is, but is possibly due to an...

Hello, So a person I know in the US has a rabbit with sore hocks. It seems they are honestly at a loss as to why this is happening. Bun is currently on pain relief, daily litter tray changes and calendula application for the sores. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with sore hocks...

Good point and quite possible. They do look very similar! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What about putting the adults together, somewhere they can’t get to the kits, during the time that mum isn’t feeding kits whilst they aren’t really moving? Seeing as it’s only every 12 hours? Do you think that might be a bit too faffy? I suppose it’ll still lead to the inevitable separation at...

I have known someone who did manage to keep the two rabbits together in a similar situation. But I am aware that that may have just been luck! I think side by side is sounding like the best option here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They have been to the vets as there was concern that the not-pregnant rabbit could also be pregnant. As they were found outside with a bunch more rabbits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They were rescued from outside, essentially there was a huge amount of stray rabbits in a location and they tried to catch as many as they could. So other than them being strays, it’s impossible to say about their background other than they are both very young. Sex is confirmed, visited the...

Hello. So I’m asking for some advice on behalf of a friend. Basically they rescued two rabbits, one of which it turns out is pregnant. A few days ago the non-pregnant rabbit (female) broke into the pen of the pregnant rabbit and they have been inseparable since. They want to know what to do...

They are informjng readers but without photographs? Just thinking about how the photographs are what draw people in. So if you have a cute picture of a lop, it’ll get a readers attention and then they can be informed. When I adopted a nethie, I didn’t know about the common health issues that...

I’ve been so worried about him and to have him be like that last night was a bit of a weight lift. Especially as it was the first time since Ivy passed that both my partner and I had to go to work, so Leafy would be alone for a good number of hours. [emoji18] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As much as I want to support RWAF’s opinions on extreme breeding, they are literally getting rid of an opportunity to spread the word on extreme breeding by banning photographs. They could literally use that platform to inform readers about the health issues that arise from it. Not only that...

Hey! So it’s been a week. It’ll mark 7 days since Ivy left for the rainbow bridge. Though my heart is heavy, this evening has brought me a little joy. I’ve been spending so much time sitting in the floor in my living room working on a project over the week, to try to keep my mind busy outside...

Thank you guys, I thought as much and wanted to avoid extra stress of a vet visit. I’m normally really strict with their diet but I think I’ve just been trying to make up for things and give him a few happy moments since what happened. Got a delivery of various new toys for him today so...

Hello, So as you may know, we lost my little Ivy on Friday. I’ve been giving Leafy all the love…although he gives me lots of attitude. Feet flicking, tail wagging and yesterday I was doing my thing and he nipped my toe. I don’t force myself on him at all, I just sit with him and...

Ivy was quite a skittish little character. Very hands off and independent. Like Leafy is. Watching them zoom, binky and trust you enough to come up to you for the off chance you might give them a treat had me fall in love. I have no idea what Leafy will be like with another rabbit but we’ll...

Thank you for this reassurance. It’s something that has been worrying me as it feels like I’m just trying to find somebun to be a friend for Leafy, but not for me? Like I’m finding someone to fulfil a role. I don’t want to bring a bun in and not love them…although something tells me that...

Thank you for writing this. It really means a lot to me. To us. I have started emailing a few rescues and individuals I know whom foster regarding the situation and potentially finding Leafy a new companion. No bun could ever replace Ivy. She was one of a kind. I do think that getting him a...

Thank you. He has taken to hiding and being scared of me this afternoon…I know this is all part of the process so I don’t hold it against him. He will still come to me for food so I guess in a way it’s much like starting from scratch again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m so very lost and confused. I changed the room around and he started doing zoomies around the room. Then he stopped and took a step back. I don’t know if I’m projecting my feelings on to him but it felt like he was waiting for Ivy to have her turn exploring/zooming.

Thank you. This feels like one of the hardest things I’ve been through. I think because you can’t just let yourself become clouded in your own grief…you have to carry on for the remaining companion. I’m carrying the weight of my own feelings and guilt for her loss and empathising with Leafy and...
