So what mistakes did you make with your first rabbits before you were really 'clued up' on bunnies and their needs? I've kept rabbits for well over 20 years now and I've made some awful mistakes, despite believing I'd found out lots of information prior to obtaining my first bun. Thankfully, I now know better and I'm happy to keep learning and moving forward.
Here are some of my mistakes (I'm being totally honest here. And to Bunge, my first Bridge Bunny, I'm sooooo sorry baby - Mummy didn't realise what she did was wrong):-
1. Read an RSPCA book on the 'right way to keep rabbits' :lol:
2. Have a 3ft hutch and separate triangular arc run.
3. Keep a rabbit on its own.
4. Feed a museli mix and replace it when bunny has picked out all the best bits.
5. Feed very little hay.
6. Keep rabbits un-neutered.
7. Let rabbits get overweight.
8. Have a rabbit get flystrike (I nursed her back to full health but I'm so ashamed of this one. Ignorance is no excuse).
9. Have a rabbit die of uterine cancer - never, ever again.
I'm sure I've done other things that I'm ashamed of but these are a few of my rookie mistakes. What have you done?
