Thanks honey pot. I've thrown away the food bowl and given the area a good clean. It was ayoung rat,smaller thanthe size of a tennis ball when it was sitting down. I dont think that there was a threat to the bunnies from what I saw. Mybunnies are quite large and they just sat there totally...

A while ago I posted for some advice on my rabbit Flora who had stickly bottom and had to go to the vet twice for dematting under anaesthetic. Some of you gave me advice, mostly around focussing on her diet. I have made changes and am pleased to report (although it is early days) that this is...
