I'm not sure what she weighs, but my big girl is huge. Her "boyfriend" is only little though (he's a netherland dwarf). The hutch they came with has a separate floor for each bunny, I'd have to put them out in the run for their together time. Now they are together in the chicken house/run...

It's such a shame that they all can't "chum up" or at least be trusted not to get "aggro" with each other. They'll each have a reasonable sized house and run each when I put up their new houses, but it's still a confined area. They are quite sweet as individuals (well, 2 of them are :D), it's...

Thanks, yes, I'm sure there's an element of personality involved. I'd read about cats and it's interesting how they "sort themselves out" when it comes to territory. Someone might be very territorial and want the whole neighbourhood to be theirs and others are quite happy to let them. Others...

I'm trying to learn about rabbit behaviour. Are you saying that rabbits just have directed aggression for no reason? We're not talking about the "big city", we are talking about my location, specifically. Did you miss the bit about not leaving them unsupervised? In any case, I haven't decided...

I'm not planning on introducing them, just asking whether, if they came across each other "in the wild" (so to speak), they would fight, or whether fights are "territory based". They are all neutered. I'm in the suburbs, there aren't the type of predators you get in country areas (or perhaps...

I have 2 pairs of rabbits. One pair is in a chicken hutch/run at the moment and I let them out today as a bit of an experiment to see what they'd do (one of them had started a tunnel to china in the run so it was a bit of a disaster-area). They stayed quite close to their "house" and went back...

Thanks for the replies. The bunnies aren't remotely scared of "pesky dog", it's more to protect the mesh from being deformed or pushed at by her jumping on it. She could stand up and stare at them, they wouldn't mind, as long as she can't wreck the mesh would be the main thing. The outdoor...

I'm looking into getting a timber bunny shed to move my bunnies into. It will be divided up the middle so that each pair of bunnies can have half. The builder can put mesh or cladding wherever I want so I need to decide how much mesh to put on. The basic designs have full height mesh on...

I've adopted another pair of bunnies. The hutch they came with is quite nice for sleeping quarters, but there's no running about room so I have to carry them to the run for them to have any room. I'm going to get a second storey on my other bunnies' house for the new bunnies to go in there...

I have adopted another pair of bunnies. They've got their own hutch, but I need to set them up an attached run ASAP. There are so many possibilities as to what to do and what I'll do in the longer term won't sort things for the shorter term. My question is this. If I put a temporary run...

Thanks so much for the info. That's helpful. No, it's not profuse or watery, just a runnier-than-it-should-be poo. He seems fine, he is eating and drinking (probably normally, I don't know him yet!) and there is no more squishy poos in his toilet. My hay is oaten, I don't know what they...

Hi, I've just adopted another pair of rabbits and one has done a runny caecotrope/poo. He had a bit of runny poo on his bottom and there are normal 'poo pellets' in his toilet, but also a squishy runny one held by the grate. These bunnies have been on a diet of (mainly) rabbit muesli. They...

When my girl was sterilised, she didn't eat after her op for some time (days). The vet was contacting me to check up on her and I had to take her back for an examination as well. I gave her some "critical care" food formula stuff by syringe. Definitely contact your vet if you haven't already.

Thanks. They have their litter trays for their poo, so that shouldn't be an issue. Not sure about the hay getting trapped, the channels are reasonably wide (ie sweepable out). I'm not too bothered if it would annoy me, I'm really just concerned about its suitability for bunnies when I'm no...

Yes, thanks, it is the gaps that bother me the most. They are quite wide (as in wider than claws).
