I prefer bowls by far. They are less effort for the rabbit to drink from which means they're more likely to drink more in a given time and stay better hydrated. In warmer weather a good crock will keep the water cooler and more appealing. I can also put ice cubes in it without worrying the...

Buns - * Cinnamon the Cinnabun was named after the colour of her baby coat which looked very much like a cinnamon stick. She's turned MUCH darker now though! * Romeo oh Romeo, he was adopted from the RSPCA with this name. When he met her it was um 'love' at first sight, followed by an...

I will also add (living rather near this rescue and being able to vouch they do awesome work) that the councils choice is nothing but a few bad apples causing trouble because they don't believe rabbits should be pets. Loose and feral cats are a far worse introduced pest but are more accepted as...

Natasha is just gorgeous, I love her cheeky personaility coming through her photos!

Well.... I got him! LOL It's going to be a stinking hot day here, 40C (that's 104F I think) expected, so a good excuse to take it realtively easy getting to know him. :) His name is Dexter, which I think we'll keep as it suits him. He is in our bedroom until Nilla is all better from her URI...

Hm probably good to give a thought to! Probably the biggest one would be to get on top of a proper budget with everything tracked and incoming and outgoings broken down into quarterly, monthly and weekly goals vs the lackadaisical one I've got atm. To keep drawing and painting to the...

Aw, she is adorable! I agree with the others, time and patience will probably see her gain a lot of confidence in exploring her surroundings and getting into everything. You could also try tempting her out by feeding the fruit and veg treats just outside the cage - maybe starting at the door...

Welcome to RO - yay, another Aussie on board! I'm down in Vic with Cinnamon, Romeo, Nilla and potential new bun Dexter. Rocky sounds adorable!

Ours is a mildly textured lino on the bottom. I'd thought of tiles, especially as they could be nice and cool in the summer. I didn't as I was concerned if they had accidents and it got into the grout it might retain enough scent trace to make them continue going there even if it smells clean...

Welcome to RO! Aw, Jasper is utterly adorable and he's got an awesome name! (My Jasper is a kitty though. *G*) My name is Amanda (aka GoneToTheBuns) with Cinnamon, Romeo, Nilla and hopeful new kid Dexter. :)

Welcome to RO... I'll be up to four if I can bond my Nilla with a new boy. Seven sounds fun, if a lot of work, when you also have the others. :)

It's a URI, I know that for sure albeit it wasn't a severe case so much as persistent low-grade. She'd already had a round of antibiotics (procaine penicillin at 300mg/ml) when we first suspected it might be developing. Unfortunately it seems it didn't quite kill it, just supress it till the...

Scan her for a microchip - often spay status is recorded on there if they are chipped at the time of spay or after. Request any paperwork from prior vet treatment from the person you've adopted her from or at least the clinics name/number so you can ring and verify what if anything has been...

I personally only do so in the winter and on harness. We have a severe myxo issue, as well as rampant foxes who are bold enough to take mature ganders in broad daylight while we're out there, wedge tail eagles etc. Likewise I know of too many buns who have gotten into things they shouldn't have...

Scam. Dog breeders and rescues get ones exactly like this all the time. It's a variation on the cashiers check scams. It actually probably originates somewhere in Africa and has been hidden.
